I reviewed my account today and had many thoughts.

The market has been quite volatile these past few months, but I haven't made any major changes to my positions. My logic is simple: by combining position adjustments, diversification, trend following, and fundamental analysis, I prefer watching the curve steadily climb rather than constantly monitoring the market and trading. I don't aim for exorbitant profits; as long as I can control drawdowns, time is my best friend.

I'm also very curious to know what trading strategies you're using. I welcome further discussion and exchange of ideas so that we can learn from each other.

Bhaiyo, long weekend hai, toh socha aaina dekh lu aur apni trading aukaat aap sab ke sath share karu. Agar aap abhi F&O mein naye ho aur lag raha hai ki aap agle Wolf of Dalal Street banne wale ho, toh please meri is clown story pe haso aur thoda seekh lo.

​Ek time tha jab main literally khud ko Rakesh Jhunjhunwala ka chota bhai samajhta tha. Mere TradingView charts pe itni trendlines, Fibonacci levels aur moving averages hoti thi ki chart kam aur Diwali ki rangoli zyada lagti thi.

​Meri trading ki 3 sabse badi beemariyan ye thi:

​1. The "Gut Feeling" Setup:

Main data pe nahi, apni aatma ki aawaz pe trade leta tha. "Bhai 4 red candle ban gayi lagatar, ab toh ek green banegi hi, pullback aayega, Call le leta hu." (Spoiler: 5th candle gap-down banti thi aur mera P&L laal ho jata tha).

​2. The "Average-Down" King:

Jab trade against jaata tha, toh 20 point ka Stop Loss lene mein mera ego hurt ho jata tha. "Arey strong support pe aa gaya hai, 2 lot aur add karta hu, cost-to-cost aate hi nikal jaunga." Ye "cost-to-cost nikalne" wali hope ne mera sabse zyada capital khaya hai. Losers ko hold karna aur winners ko 500 rupaye profit mein kaat dena meri specialty thi.

​3. Zerodha's Best Employee:

Din mein 15-20 overtrading wale scalps karta tha revenge lene ke chakkar mein. Raat ko jab contract note aata tha, toh pata chalta tha ki P&L mein ₹400 ka profit hai aur ₹1200 ka brokerage aur STT. Nithin Kamath ki net worth directly main hi badha raha tha apne account se.

​The Reality Check:

Ek din baith ke actually jab apna F&O report dekha tab reality hit hui. Main market se fight nahi kar raha tha, main apne khud ke emotions se fight kar raha tha. Bade players ko jab apna maal bechna hota tha, toh main unka top pe khareedne wala "Bakra" (exit liquidity) ban jata tha.

​Us din apna ego side rakha aur ye accept kiya ki mera human brain machines aur institutions ko "intuition" se beat nahi kar sakta. Ab jaake maine apna terminal dekhna kam kiya hai aur sirf strict rules aur fixed Stop Loss pe focus karta hu. No more "aaj Nifty bullish lag raha hai." Agar logic aur rule match nahi hua, toh I simply don't trade.

​Sach sach batao, is sub pe kis-kis ka "Main hi Harshad Mehta hu" wala phase abhi tak chal raha hai? Aur jo log ab thode sensible ho gaye hain, unhone market ko apne emotions control karna seekhne ke liye kitne lakh ki "tuition fee" pay ki hai? Let’s hear your worst blunders! 👇😂

A new process of buying and trading gold digitally. EGRs is backed by physical gold; the investors, at their discretion, can surrender the EGRs and take physical delivery of the corresponding quantity and quality of gold.

With a single-day unrealized gain of $170,000, the total assets in my core account have officially crossed the $6.1 million threshold.

Back in 2015, when I transferred my initial seed capital of $80,211.39 into this account, I set this precise long-term goal in my mind. Today, at the age of 35, I officially declare: I am officially calling it quits today. The goal has been achieved; I am bidding a definitive farewell to any form of active daily trading or management, entrusting the growth of my wealth entirely to the "Owner's Earnings" generated by these great enterprises.

I know that when many people look at this chart, their eyes will fixate solely on NVDA—specifically its nearly 300% return and the unrealized gain of over $1 million on that single stock—or perhaps on the multi-bagger profits from TSM and MU. Most people will attribute this success to "good luck—winning a bet on the AI ​​sector."

They couldn't be more wrong.

As an allocator of "Rational Capital," I never pay a premium for nebulous, intangible "concepts." I took heavy positions in these computing power and semiconductor infrastructure providers not because the news cycle was screaming about AI every day, but because I had peeled back the layers of the 10-K financial reports filed by the major tech giants.

While the market was still caught up in speculative sentiment, I saw only the coldest, hardest business logic: downstream industry giants, desperate to defend their competitive moats, were compelled to engage in a defensive CapEx (Capital Expenditure) arms race of staggering magnitude. And these massive expenditures—totaling in the hundreds of billions—would, without a shadow of a doubt, ultimately translate into tangible Free Cash Flow on the balance sheets of NVDA and TSM. This represents the pinnacle of monopolistic pricing power—the only form of intrinsic value truly worthy of my capital allocation.

The journey from $80,000 to $6 million was an incredibly monotonous one. There was no frequent portfolio turnover, no day trading—only a dogged focus on underlying business fundamentals, a patient wait for prices to dip within a safe margin of safety, and then—acting like a true "Business Owner"—a complete disregard for all macroeconomic noise and jagged market volatility. Once you grasp the divergence between price and value, investing becomes an exceedingly tedious—yet inevitably victorious—game.

To my fellow travelers in this circle who truly understand financial modeling and manage real capital: I will see you at the summit.
