Risk Management trading is 80% money management and 20% strategy. We could not agree more.

Topic Why not loosing is much important than winning

The soon you understand that protecting your capital is utmost priority than making profits you'll be able to sustain in
the market. Once you are able to sustain then you can think of making money. Survival is the key in trading.

For example, a loss of 10% requires a gain of just 11% to recover, a loss of 25% requires a strong gain of 33% to recover, while a loss of 30%
(not much bigger than the previous 25% loss) requires a gain of 43% (much higher than the 33% needed to recover from a 25% loss), etc. A
loss of 50% requires a gain of 100% to recover, and typically, a loss of 60% or more in the markets is almost unrecoverable.

Small losses can become large very quickly due to loss of existing capital.

“In order to make money in the markets, the importance is not to lose” meant: One has to keep losses small, as the bigger
they are, the harder it is to recover. Capital preservation is the Key.
Topic Position Sizing & Risk Reward

Position sizing and risk reward has to be studied together. Position sizing depends on how much risk the traders is able to
take and it will be different for different traders. Position sizing is the glue that holds risk to reward scenarios together.

Where most traders mess up in position sizing is in fitting their stop loss to their desired position size instead of fitting their position size to
their desired stop loss.
For example,
Let's say you are watching L&T share for potential trading opportunities. Say your capital is Rs.100,000 and you are risking only 1% per
trade which is Rs.1,000. Now you see a really good trade setup. The L&T stock at Rs.1362 and is a good point to enter and you want to buy
70 shares (maximum shares that can be bought with 1 Lakh without considering any kind of leverage)

You enter the trade and places stop loss 14 points below i.e at 1348 since your max loss is (14* 70 = 1,000 approx). You may think you have
successfully managed the risk by limiting it to Rs.1,000/- but it got stopped out quickly by touching 1348 and bouncing back to 1410. Hence
you made a loss of Rs.1,000.

The problem here is you have not managed your risk properly because you have placed your stop loss based on your capital and not based
on the actual logical stop loss.

Let's say for L&T if you are entering at 1362, then may there is strong support at 1340, so the logical stop loss would be at Rs.1338. Now that
you know you are risking 24 points for Rs.1,000. Now you need to calculate the position sizing (Rs.1000/24 = 42 shares).

Ideally, you should have bought 42 shares at 1362 by placing your stop loss at 1338.

N D Position Sizing & Risk Reward

M I Steps in arriving at the perfect position


size based on proper risk-reward
STEP 1 - Calculate your per-trade risk amount. Ideally, it should be 1% or max 2% of your trading
capital (do not include leverage provided by broker)
Let's say your capital is Rs.100,000 and but for a particular trade if you decide to risk 1%, you risk a maximum of Rs.1,000/-

STEP 2 - Finding right trading opportunity with an edge and figuring out the ideal stop-loss price.
With the application of all your technical analysis, trading strategies & setups you must identify a potential trade opportunity. Remember
that if there is no trade opportunity as per your setups you should not take up the trade as having an edge while entering taking up
trade is very very important.

Once you find a trade signal as per your trade setup then immediately you must find out your exit point. It is very important to figure out
the exit point. If you do not know where to keep the stop loss you should not take up a trade. Also, you cannot place your stop loss in a
vague manner like 2 points, 3 points, etc. Your stop loss should be supported by technical and logical reasons. It should be safeguarded
by any support/resistance zone or dynamic support and resistances like 8/20 EMA or in multiples of Average True range ATR etc.
Support / Resistance Levels, CPR, etc.

In the above L&T example, you have identified your long entry point as 1362, logical target as 1410, and logical stop loss at 1338.
STEP 3 - Calculate the no of points difference b/w entry point, Stoploss & active at position sizing
Here the difference b/w stop loss & entry point is 24 points (1362-1338).

You are risking Rs,1,000

experience for yourselves. But the good news is you can control them. In order to control them first you need to deeply
understand what are the different kind of emotions you go through and what kind of mistakes you make when you go
through them. Once you study how your mind functions it is easy to control it. Lets dive in.
Topic Understanding emotional trading.

N G
Let's understand each of these emotions in details
D I
FEAR
R A
T
Fear is an emotion that a trader generally encounters immediately after placing a trade. Fear creeps in when the trader observes

L
the trade goes slightly against him, causing him to close out his positions. When this happens, traders generally overreact and tend

A
I
to liquidate their holdings causing short spurts of extreme movement in the markets.

Some of the other common scenario’s when a trader encounters Fear are:

N T
U E
Cut winning position short in fear of giving profits back

Hesitate in initiating the trade because of fear of a prospective loss

F L
Hang on to losing trades because of fear to take the loss

D
Taking trades based on Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) in Bullish rally / bearish rally

N
M I
How to over come Fear in trading gradually

Do not over trade


Do not increase position sizing
Give yourselves a break from trading when you are encountering continuous losses like 3 to 4 days in a row
Topic Understanding emotional trading.

REGRET N G
D I
Regret is an emotion which can come both ways i.e. a trader could regret placing a trade or regret not placing one. Regret may lead a

R A
trader to get into a trade after initially missing out on it because the stock moved too fast. This leads to a violation of trading discipline
and could lead to trader suffering huge losses. All you need to know is it ok missing few opportunities or having a few bad trades. No

T
one can grab all the opportunities the market offers. Once you have obtained this mindset your trading perspective will change.

Some of the other common scenario’s when a trader encounters Regret are:

A L
I
Regret of missing out a big rally and you feel taking out some or the other trade in that regret to make some money

Regret of taking small positions in a huge rally


N T
Regret of taking a trade as it ends up in going opposite direction and giving up that strategy instead of making a small modifications.

Regret of missing out a day in trading

U E
L
Regret for averaging losing trades

D F
Regret of not cutting your losses early

How to over come Regret in trading gradually - You need to tackle this emotion in a slightly different manner - Check out how

I N
Your regret is indirectly linked to your EGO. Off trading you must work upon reducing your ego based actions in your general life that will

M
eventually make its way in trading as well.
Never average your losing trades unless you are doing something related to option hedging.

Do not try for perfection in trading, understand that no trader will be perfect and no strategy will be perfect. Its is all gaining edge in trading.

Appreciate yourselves when you make good trades and do not blame yourselves much when you lose a trade. Loosing is part of the game
Topic Understanding emotional trading.

HOPE
N G
D I
Trading based on hope is similar to gambling. A number of traders allow hope of recovery prevent them from cutting their losses. When
we create a position in the market, bullish or bearish we start out with a trading plan and end up on hope. When the trade goes against

R A
us, emotions such as hope enter our mind forcing us to think that if we continue to hold on to the trade a bit longer any loss can get
erased. The only way to avoid it is to recognize the factor of hope in your trading behavior before it destroys your capital.

T
Some of the other common scenario’s when a trader encounters Hope are:

A L
I
Hope that the trade will go in their direction and taking trade without proper setup

Hope that market acts according to the news


N T
Hope that atleast they will breakeven and doesn't quit the loosing trade

E
Hope that stock behaves the same way as it has done before

U
F L
How to over come Hope in trading gradually - There is a saying in trading that HOPE is for HOPELESS people.

D
You have to make sure that you follow your trading plan perfectly and no not enter trades when there is no entry trigger.

N
I
DO NOT take up trades solely on news, recommendations from TV / telegram accounts / calls given by popular analyst etc.

M
Understand that market doesn't care about your emotions or anyone's emotions for that matter.

Empty the mind and see what market is trying to say - Strictly avoid your biased thinking on any particular stock / Instrument. See and
understand what market is trying to tell you and then just take up trades based on our technical analysis. No not depend on other sources.
Topic Understanding emotional trading.

FRUSTATION
N G
D I
It’s an almost classic trading pattern. You lose on a trade, then on another, then on another. Now you’re angry: What’s with the market
today! So you jump in again fast, and now you hold the trade too long, and it goes sour. Now you’re really mad, and you keep on
making hasty decisions.

R A
Some of the other common scenario’s when a trader encounters Frustation are:
T
L
You are getting consecutive SL hits and not you are so angry and take revenge trade on market.

A
I
You have fixed daily / weekly targets and when you do not achieve those you'll get frustrated and may end up taking wrong trades / take

T
higher positions in order to recover loss / achieve the targets in the time period remaining.

N
You keep sitting In front of your system waiting for good setup, when you are so bored that you did not get any trade opportunity you get

E
frustrated and impatient, as a result you end up taking some random trade without proper setup.

L U
How to over come Frustration in trading gradually - The emotion which plays MAJOR role in BLOWING UP your account is FRUSTATION.

D F
This emotion is also linked to your EGO and you need to strictly start practicing below hacks to overcome this issue.

When you hit consecutive stop losses and you reached max loss threshold for the day, IMMEDIATELY close the system / Phone (uninstall

I N
trading app if required) and go out. Or get into other work. Go indulge yourselves in another activity like talking to family members /
watching movies / videos etc. It might seem funny but trust me you will blow up your account if you don't do this.

M
Learn to be patient, if you do not see any setup working, give yourself a trading holiday and do the above mentioned tasks.

DO NOT try to recover your losses on the same day by doing revenge trading. Remember that market will be there forever but your
trading account will not be. Remember that market is ocean and you are a small boat which can turn upside down anytime.
Topic Understanding emotional trading.

HAPPINESS
N G
D I
When we are in a good mood it signifies an absence of danger and thus we don’t feel the need to think critically. We can make rash, ill
thought out decisions when we are in a good mood. This is because when we are happy, we’re more likely to think about our potential

A
gains and by thinking about them we also believe they are more likely to happen.

R
Some of the other common scenario’s when a trader encounters Happiness are:
T
L
After consecutive winning streak, you tend to become undisciplined and put on a large trade which may turn out to be a big loss.

A
our trading actions.
T I
When you become over confident because of winning trades you don’t learn from our bad behavior and don’t improve-even if we review

expert trader
E N
We find it hard to acknowledge our mistakes when we are happy, so we won’t make the progress and improvements we need to become an

L U
How to over come Happiness in trading gradually - Feeling good and motivated regarding your winning trades is fine but once it turn into

D F
over confidence & Pride, that will become end to trade learning & becomes the starting point of ruining your trading journey.

Take a break after getting consecutive winning trades, do not try to be overconfident about yourself, market won't take much time to

I N
bring your confidence level down.

M
When you hit up a jackpot trade and make good money, it is your mind's general tendency to take up another big trade thinking that even if
you loose you'll breakeven and have nothing to lose. Remember that there is nothing worse than giving away the profits back to the market.
So you must avoid those trades that you take when you are happy, if you want to take up another trade after huge win trade make sure the
amount you are risking is not more than 10% of the profits earned in the previous trade.
Topic Understanding emotional trading.

GREED N G
D I
Greed is the excessive desire for profits. Greed tempts the trader to stay in a profitable trade longer than is fundamentally or

R A
technically advisable in an attempt to squeeze out the last penny. Greed among traders is generally observed in a bull market when
traders trade throwing caution to the winds. We all have had at latest one trade wherein we held a particular stock way to long and

T
then sold out at break even. Greed changes the way we think and prevent us from acting in a rational manner.

A L
Some of the other common scenario’s when a trader encounters Greed are:

T I
Missed out huge rally previously after breakout so you want to replicate the same again without analyzing the other factors or trailing SL.

E N
Taking out huge positions when you encounter perfect pattern that worked for you in recent times.

U
Keeping tight SL in order to increase risk reward ratio

L
D F
How to over come Greed in trading gradually

You need to tell yourself that winning small consistently is much better than aiming for a big amount by taking big risk.

I N
Remember that luck will not favor you all the time, there could be some random patterns / indicators that worked for you by luck giving

M
you handsome profit. DO NOT chase those patterns. Stick to the patterns / strategies that you have planned for yourselves. Even though
you want to try out a new pattern, try it by taking small positions.

You should always follow exit strategy rules while placing / trailing the stop loss. We will be discussing regarding the same in this course later.

Bias Trading -
An underrated concept.
Topic Your Subconscious Bias will have a negative impact on trading, One must be aware of it to not get into that trap.

N G
1
Representative Bias

D I
Means that you will stick to or be more inclined to replicate previously successful trades. You might do this without carrying out analysis for
every trade of this type because in the past, it has paid off for you. However, even if two trades seem similar, it is important to approach
every trade on its own merits rather than on historical success

R A
2
Negativity Bias
T
Makes you more inclined to only look at the negative side of a trade, rather than acknowledging what went right. This could mean that you

L
scrap an entire strategy when, in fact, you might only have needed to tweak it slightly to turn a profit

A
3
Status quo Bias
T I
Means that you will continue to use old strategies or trades rather than exploring new ones – you will stick to the status quo. The danger

N
arises when you fail to assess whether those old methods are still viable in the current market

E
4
Confirmation Bias
L U
Is when you seek out, or give greater weight to, news and analysis that confirms your pre-formulated ideas. It may also be that you don’t

F
seek out, or disregard, information which disproves your convictions

D
5
Gambler’s fallacy

I N
This is where you assume that: because a stock has been increasing, it will continue to rise OR because a stock has been decreasing, it will
continue to fall. There is no reason to believe that it should, similar to how there is no reason that a coin should land tails side up – rather

M
than heads – after doing so a few times in a row

When you do not spend time to reflect on your trading mindset you tend to accustom to these kind of Bias and is detrimental to ones
trading decisions. Make sure you self analyze yourself and identify if you have any of these Biases, If yes try to remove them and
make your mind as clear as possible through affirmations & Meditation. A clear mind if what that is needed for a day trader.
26

Why most of the traders have a


hard time becoming profitable.
We can sum it up in 8 points
1. Not Having a Trading Plan
It’s necessary that you know in advance what you’re going to trade, when you’re going to trade, and what you’re going to trade.
Otherwise, you won’t have a general direction and will find yourself switching methodology, market, and strategy all the time, which will
have adverse effects on your trading performance.

2. Not Having an Edge


This is the single biggest reason why most traders fail. In order to be a successful trader, you must have some sort of advantage in the
market. You must know that after you enter a trade, it’s more probable that the market goes in your direction than the opposite.

3. Being Undisciplined
For those traders who do have a real edge, this is one of the most common reasons behind trading failures.
It’s all very simple. You need to take the trades that are signaled by your trading strategy, regardless of what you believe about the
current market conditions and where you are with your trading.

This may indeed be very hard, and many traders, including ourselves, struggle with this sometimes. It’s tempting to take an extra trade,
or skip some trades that don’t seem that promising.
4. Too Big Position Size
Even a trader who has a working strategy and manages to place all the trades right could become a losing trader if he sizes his trades
too heavily, and gets wiped out during a streak of losing trades. let’s say that you’re trading a strategy and risking 2% of your capital
on each trade. This means that you would be into a 20% drawdown if you got a losing streak of 10 trades. This is perfectly manageable
and represents a sensible risk level.

Now, instead, imagine that you risk 10% on each trade. In that case, the same losing streak would have wiped you out completely.

5. Not Recognizing that Markets Change


Many new traders believe that if they only find the one strategy that works for them, then they’ll be set for the rest of their trading
career.

The thing is that no trading strategy will survive forever. Markes constantly change, and as your strategies fall out of sync with the
markets, you’ll have to abandon old concepts that don’t work that well anymore.

6. Not Keeping a Trading Journal


Although you might not recognize it as you’re beginning to trade, keeping a trading journal is essential to your success as a trader.
Having things like your mistakes, trading performance, and other trading related metrics easily accessible is essential to be able to
identify areas for improvements.
7. Having Unrealistic Expectations
You must have seen online who tell you that returns of several hundred percent in month, or 10 times in a year is possible to achieve.
Now, while we understand that it’s tempting to fall for these kinds of statements, achieving these kinds of returns on a consistent basis
is not possible, even for the best traders out there.

8. Not Coping With the Psychological Pressure


Trading may seem like an easy way to make money. You simply build a trading strategy and then execute the signals that it provides
and you make money.

The above reasoning may hold correct during those times that everything goes well.

However when the things goes out of their way, we can see people start behaving irrationally in a attempt to recover or prevent losses.
For example, it’s common to see that some people:
1. Don’t take the trades that their strategy signals since they believe they too will end in losses.
2. Attempt to take trades that are not signaled by their trading strategy.
3. Let losing trades run, since they believe that the market will turn around if it’s just given some more time.
4. Cut winning trades too soon, in order to lock in profits and at least make some money.

Again, one of the best ways of remaining calm and focused during a significant drawdown is to keep a trading journal.

Remember, as traders we’re always competing with everybody else who has access to the
same charting platforms and technology as we have. Thus, to have some chance of
winning the game, we simply need to work harder.

HOW AFFIRMATIONS WORK N G


D I

that have contributed to your positive and negative subconscious programming. As a result of these influences, there are things that
you have been telling yourself over and over, for years.

How to use affirmations to level up your trading career

D I
R A
Before we get into the process of creating and using daily affirmations, remember that affirmations don't work instantly. It took you

T
years to create your negative programming. So it could take anywhere from several weeks to a couple of months to start reversing
that programming. Be Patient & Consistent.

3 Steps to Writing a PowerfulI A


L
Trading Affirmation
N T
U E
STEP 1 - State it in the Present, as if it has Already Happened
Your mind cannot tell the difference between something you vividly imagine and something that has actually happened. So take

F L
advantage of this fact. If you keep telling yourself that you're already a successful trader, you will feel successful on the inside. That
becomes your identity. From there, your brain will find ways to align your internal feeling with your external reality.

N D
I
Unless someone has a major handicap, anyone can become successful at trading. Therefore, that ability is already inside you. It's up
to you to choose to embrace that potential, or reject it.

M By creating positive affirmations, you choose to develop that ability and acknowledge your full potential. So when you write an
affirmation, word it in the present, and as if it has already happened. You can see a few examples at the bottom of this post. This
will trigger your brain to see this as your new reality and make it easier to overcome the inevitable roadblocks along the way.
How to use affirmations to level up your trading career

STEP 2 - Be Positive, Short and Specific


Keep your affirmations short, stated in the positive and as specific as possible.

N G
Why state it in the positive?

D I
R A
Your brain automatically removes the word “not” from most sentences. So the affirmation “I will not let my trades affect me
emotionally,” registers in your brain as: “I will let my trades affect me emotionally.” This is why it's so important to state your
affirmations in the positive.
T
A L
When you keep them short, they are easy to remember and more likely to stick in your brain. Also make them as specific as possible

I
because it brings up a more vivid image in your mind and makes it more real.

T
STEP 3 - Include Action and Emotion
E N
L U
Finally, emotion is the key to making this all work

D F
You can make almost anything happen, if you want it enough. This means putting all of your desire and passion behind it. So
include action and emotion words. It also helps to start with the phrase “I am” because that programs your identity.

Repeat your affirmations at least 2 times per day, every day. The most powerful time to recite your affirmations is just before you go to sleep.

Sit in a relaxed mood, close your eyes, breathe for few min and then start visualizing each affirmation in great detail and feel that it is
happening for real. Lets say you are visualizing the affirmation “I am excited about following my trading rules because the profits give me
freedom and security.” "Now you need to imagine yourselves how happy you will be once you receive regular profits from trading as it
will ease off your burdens and you become stress free & happy. Imagine that you have already achieved this by regularly
following your trading rules and hence you do not miss those rules anytime."
