Staying steady in uncertain market Things are looking really dicey, and further breakdown cannot be ruled out. Remember the experience of the Corona crisis and what followed. In such situations, I would focus on the things I CAN control, such as price, lot size, and scripts. Just because the price has fallen by 50% doesn’t mean a reversal is imminent. Your portfolio WILL give you pain, and significant amounts of it. If you are facing issues or having doubts about your portfolio, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. The markets are not going... 1 3 replies
Sunday morning shower thoughts :Are Stock Market Movements Just Philosophy in Disguise? So, I've been thinking about the stock market recently—not in the "investing genius" way, but in the "what even is this madness" way. Everyone talks about fundamentals, technicals, algorithms, macro trends, blah blah blah. But deep down, is the market just luck wrapped in a thin layer of human rationalization? Here’s the thing: If we live in a deterministic universe (big "if" there), every move in the market—from a billionaire’s impulsive trade to my panic-selling of Tata motors last week—was already "written" by the laws of physics and cause-effect... 4 9 replies

Smallcaps: The Real Pain is Coming **Nifty Smallcap 50** index hit an all-time high of 9500 last month. That euphoria is now fading. The index is forming multiple tops, a clear warning sign. Nifty has already broken down. Smallcaps and midcaps are next in line for deeper trouble. The entire market is sliding into chaos. But the real pain hasn’t started yet. Many investors talk about “***buying when there’s blood in the market.***” They haven’t seen what real blood looks like. That moment is approaching. Small investors and buy-and-hold believers need to brace for what’s... 1 8 replies
Data on retail trading volume for stocks/options? Hi all, after the recent SEBI regulations to cut down retail F&O trading, I was curious about finding out exactly what amount of trading volume in specific assets can be attributed to retail traders on mobile/internet modes. I think this could be helpful as a signal if you can map out retail vs institutional sentiment. Does anyone here know if this kind of data is available somewhere? I know that NSE/BSE have monthly disclosures about daily mobile/internet trading volume, but this is at an aggregate exchange level and not... 1 0 replies
Common Trading Mistake - Looking for opinions of other people Social media is filled with opinions. Right now, many posts compare the current market with previous weak market conditions (2015, 2018, 2022). But here's the thing—for every comparison you show me of how the current price action will lead to a further decline (based on some price action from years ago), I can show you two comparisons of why it won't. The truth is that nobody knows for sure. Remember that fear is most rampant at market bottoms. A recent example is from March 2020, when a lockdown was... 1 0 replies

Some basic yet much-needed insight from Ticker Tape! Ticker Tape has an interesting feature called Market Mood Index (MMI). It currently says that the MMI is in the **extreme fear zone**. Extreme fear (<30) suggests a good time to open fresh positions, as markets are likely to be oversold and might turn upwards. Historical observation says the market bottoms out when the MMI reaches an extreme fear zone. MMI considers important factors like FII Activity, Volatility/Skewness, Momentum, Market Breadth, Price Strength, and Demand for Gold. While it is **only 91.28%** accurate for those who want to disagree, it certainly gives... 1 2 replies
