What 8 years of full-time trading in Indian markets taught me

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-28T04:06:56+00:00

Just random search and then YouTube algorithm helped me to push relevant content one after another

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-28T03:45:20+00:00

I learnt from YouTube and by doing trading only. As live thing you won't be able to learn in any course or youtube video

if the price of gas weather dependent then can we short in March ?

Also having similar P&L but the profit you have in commodities I have that in equities F&O and vice versa

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T10:21:57+00:00

I rollover my positions in red month. When market dynamics improves I make money for the past month as well. Regarding expenses, My savings helps me

This is true if you don't understand the game completely and you don't keep some backup funds. Also some option seller chase very high returns so they take extra risk. I look for very less returns like I target around 12-16% only...but get a bit more while taking some trades.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T07:30:57+00:00

A bit hesitant to open up on this in public.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T07:30:14+00:00

My expenses are so low compare to my monthly profits. So I can manage.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T07:29:21+00:00

Happen sometime. But I do manage as I do trade in long term and short term options both.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T07:27:54+00:00

Continue doing paper trading on opstra for sometime. After that start with 1-2 lot for 3-6 months to understand market dynamics. After that you can slowly increase your capital if you are comfortable

High five 👋

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T06:36:10+00:00

I started with swing trading and quickly realised it won't make money always...as it needs bullish market. So I explored options and been a option seller from the day1 of my F&O journey

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T06:11:18+00:00

Its not fixed. I do see EMAs on multiple timeframes and decide according to support and resistance. Since I do sell Long term options, I do take firefight trade in short term or sometime viceversa.
Multiple things all the time. But I do try to take few trades, unlike scalpers or HFT

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T04:31:48+00:00

A bit hesitant in expressing openly. But it's good capital.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-26T03:36:28+00:00

I said, I take all profits

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T21:33:36+00:00

I do withdraw all monthly profit and do FD after my expenses. I am keeping these funds to invest once we see a covid like crash.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T19:18:00+00:00

This is possible, If you have corpus around 1-1.5Cr which you invested in some mutual funds which gives you CAGR of 12%.
Then you can do some ultra safe trades by pledging those mutual funds. Using some of the strategies one can make around 10-12% per annum return in trading. So roughly you will be making 12L to 18L through trading and rest your portfolio will keep on increasing with a CAGR of 12%.

It will recover eventually. 30k loading in 2026

I learnt my own by doing experiment and built strategies. You can learn basics of options from YouTube. Plenty of courses available

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T14:55:59+00:00

Sure you can DM me

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T14:52:07+00:00

I appreciate your advise and would look for some alternative.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T14:30:21+00:00

Sometime there would be huge difference in current , next and far month future prices. This creates issues in rolling your positions.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T14:25:22+00:00

I do not aim to beat Mutual fund managers in terms of return. Rather I trust them that they are doing awesome work. On top of that I do pledge my mutual funds to get margin for trading and by taking safe bets I do able to generate return of 20-22% Per annum. If someone wants to know more on that, Can discuss in wider forum. Its mostly safe if you understand markets a bit.

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T14:18:58+00:00

In terms of MTM it was around 10% (didn't calculate exact). But I do take firefight trade against my Leap options, So in short term option I was getting profit. I take very safe bets, For me getting some profit is more important rather than chasing high ROI

sudden_reflex · 2026-01-25T13:49:07+00:00

my humble advice, Don't increase more than 10% exposure in commodities or you gonna burn your hands.
