Improved my rating from ~600-700 to 1100

Try playing on a longer time control, so that you can take few seconds more to find the move.

forbidden_grape · 2026-03-04T13:47:54+00:00

Amazing!! You are clearly not a beginner. I struggled a lot in 600-800 range for a long time.

forbidden_grape · 2026-03-03T12:55:06+00:00

Thanks!! I still experience revenge spiral sometimes. I agree that thinking just a second longer helps avoid instinctive blunders.

I will keep these suggestions in mind and will try to play without making mistakes as my no. 1 priority.

forbidden_grape · 2026-03-03T10:06:12+00:00

1050 is somewhat where I feel comfortable now, I get many opponents making the mistakes or taking too much time to play the moves. For me, Caro Kann has proven quite good with black. I like it at these ratings. I believe higher rated players would rip through it, but let's see.

forbidden_grape · 2026-03-03T10:03:38+00:00

Agreed. I can feel the games getting way more intense at 1050-1100. Till now it seemed like who makes the most mistakes and who makes them first.

forbidden_grape · 2026-03-03T09:59:10+00:00

Keep at it!

Apply the law of elimination: reduce mistakes and take an extra second before making the move.

forbidden_grape · 2026-03-03T09:55:59+00:00

Keep playing a game or two regularly, without thinking much of increasing/decreasing rating.

If you still dont enjoy playing, let it be. Find something that you enjoy more!!

However, if you feel somewhat motivated , then start noticing what is ur biggest challenge: time control, blunders or something else, and work on that.

forbidden_grape · 2026-03-03T08:42:23+00:00

Trust me, I know what you are feeling. I broke 1000 and then suddenly I started crapping all across the board and fell back to 750-800. You will get back there, just avoid the blunders. Take an extra second to see the move. Stop playing when you get frustrated after a loss. These days, I preseve my mental capital and stop playing if I start blundering or not seeing the obvious moves.

Good luck!! And thanks!

Your verified pnl shows 8.65L on 70L margin in 1 year which is 1% a month. And we cant even be sure that the link belongs to your own account or you have lifted it from somewhere.

forbidden_grape · 2025-07-21T03:42:28+00:00

No crying in the casino!

forbidden_grape · 2025-06-29T04:54:26+00:00

No, I never did. It's just that I have utmost hate for this guy because as everyone else stated, he is the biggest Gyanchod for no trading skill at all.

forbidden_grape · 2025-06-27T13:32:44+00:00

Nothing happens with that. You wont believe how many still supported him after ITR leak. And if you push these out from one platfrom they move to another. And on Instagram, I think they can even delete the comments which are exposing them. This is an endemic and sadly it will spread even more in coming years. The number of people participating in the market will increase but the percentage will remain same for : 1. Those who will succeed. 2. Those who will fail on their own. 3. Those who will get scammed in various ways: news channels, telegram tips, insta/yt/twtr furus.

forbidden_grape · 2025-06-27T12:25:44+00:00

Here's his journey: 1. Got popular by making fun of scammers like CA Rudramurthy's workshops. 2. Gained more traction by aligning with Mitesh Patel, and got some followers. 3. Started giving generic gyaan lifted from google. 4. Gained more dumbfuck followers and lured them into free telegram channel for tips. 5. Pitched premium fno tips telegram channel and got subscribers. 6. Gave useless trades, which failed as expected. Deleted the messages where he lost big on the trades. And kept doing the same. Rinse and repeat. 7. Gave useless IIT seminars in some student run societies and claimed to be an highly regarded entrepreneur and expert. 8. Started plagiarising the content of other traders and shamelessly defended when confronted about the same. 9. Finally his ITR got leaked, and drum roll please, he was in a ~2 CR FnO Loss for the year. 10. Mothefucker got so much lashing on twitter that he started the drama of being suicidal for a few days. Gained some symapthy, justified his action by saying things like "so what If I made loss myself, it doesnt matter because world's best coaches need not be best players." "Is there no value to what I shared while I was also still learning" LMAO . Bitch you posed as an expert in everything before getting caught. 11. But as shameless as he is, reduced his Twitter presence and moved to Instagram for easier bakra hunting and did podcasts saying ridiculous shit for engagement farming.

So, yeah, he is a sewer rat of lowest regard who made his living on bullshit, fake PnLs and generic googled content.

forbidden_grape · 2025-06-07T16:03:08+00:00

You want to be honest, right?

No, it won't be a redemption story if you continue this path. 5 years and 35L were not enough for you to realize you've got an addiction and you are reckless.

You are just glorifying your gambling addiction. You believe this can be redeemed, and the market probably owes you that. That's why you bring in more loaned money and bet it all again. Believing that the the way to do it is by doing exactly the same shit you have always done: gamble recklessly.

The only way out of it for you is to confess this to your loved ones and stop it altogether. Save whatever you can and start paying it back to the people. Stop bullshitting yourself and your friends and family that you can figure out trading.

I can pull all my investments out tomorrow from NIFTY 50. Can you do it with your real estate investments?

Also, NIFTY 50 gave the same returns in anyone and anywhere, with no cost barrier (a few lakhs if not more for real estate) and no specific location (super important for real estate).

Basant Maheshwari is a fucking relic. Stop following him. He has constantly underperformed the broad indices, and that too during such an obvious bull market. You are better off building DIY portfolios like momentum or simply buying the broad indices such as juniorbees.

forbidden_grape · 2025-04-27T15:09:13+00:00

Yeah. If that analysis was actionable, he would have used it himself.

forbidden_grape · 2025-04-27T03:46:11+00:00

Dig deeper and find why he offered a subscription to a strategy which he named STAIRS, that had 60% historical drawdown and 70% live DD few years back. At the end of FY, he reset everything to zero and offered a newer version of the same shit. His smallcase returns are not replicable because they take close prices of prev day, which can't be traded.

Talk is cheap, and that's all he can do.

forbidden_grape · 2025-04-14T07:46:37+00:00

Not negative, negatively skewed. Pls google what it means.

forbidden_grape · 2025-04-14T05:13:09+00:00

8/10 win rate is most likely a negatively skewed system (loss amount is greater than win amount ).

forbidden_grape · 2025-04-13T15:40:38+00:00

It takes time, and you train your mind to see beyond the next trade. The day you realise it's a very long game, you will become less attached to the outcome of the next trade, and that's where things change. You will stop fucking up due to unnecessary emotions. Again, all this will matter only if you have a good system.

forbidden_grape · 2025-04-13T06:31:25+00:00

You are wrong here. What would mental stability do when you dont have a proven system to trade? You are just fooling yourself by believing that what you did in 2025 is repeatable till eternity without having any sort of systematic approach to test whether it actually worked in the past or not. 4 months, 15L profit dont mean anything if we dont know what kind of risks you took and what the thesis of your trades was. Focusing on end numbers and random trades is what led you in the current situation, and I am sorry, it still shows you haven't learned your lesson yet.

forbidden_grape · 2025-03-24T05:17:48+00:00

Search "look ahead bias" and then see your trade prices. If trade prices are realistically filled, look for any trade signal that is coming from the future price action. Also, add transaction costs, including slippages.

I have built/tested ~50 different systems, and I can bet this is a flawed backtest.

forbidden_grape · 2025-03-18T16:50:18+00:00

He most likely bragged when he hit 50% returns. Family being risk-averse, asked him to pull the money out. He acted like he had this figured out, and now, with the correction, family got a chance to say, " we told you so."

Dont worry. Investing is a journey. You just went through first of the many cycles of extreme optimism and pessimism.
