1. EMERGENCY CORPUS

As soon as u starts earning, start planning to build for an emergency corpus. This may be in the range of your 6-12 months’ salary.

What to do?
Start a recurring deposit in your bank a/c for 20% of your salary.
Eg. If your salary is Rs 25K pm, start an RD of Rs 5K pm for a period of 27 months. It will accumulate around Rs 1.5 lacs (6 months equivalent salary).

Once corpus is built deposit that money in bank FDs & do not touch it apart from emergencies. (Define your emergency needs).

Biases That Affect How You Trade Your System

(curated from "Trade your way to Financial Freedom" by Van Tharp)

1. Gambler’s Fallacy Bias

People assume that the probability goes up for a win after a long losing streak or up for a loss after a long winning streak.
2. Conservative-with-profits-and-risky-with-losses Bias

People want to take profits quickly & give their losses some room. This gives them the illusion of being right, but what they are really doing is cutting their profits short and letting their losses run.
3. My-current-trade-or-investment-must-be-a-winner Bias

This bias may be at the root of all other biases. Yet being right has little to do with making money.

OI is the total number of o/s F&O contracts that have not been settled yet.

OI indicates that contracts have been traded but not yet liquidated by an offsetting trade or exercise.
Some pointers ~

♦️ It indicates how many open positions are there in the market.
♦️ It is useful in understanding the liquidity of the market. Bigger the OI more liquid is the market.
♦️ If u add up all long & short positions, it should be 0 always.

There’s a person who has a respectable corporate job, decent earnings, nice family & some good savings kitty parked in FD which he wants to invest in equities now. But he's lacking in financial knowledge & has no time for market research.
Then there’s a full-time trader. All his working hours are dedicated to equity market research, trading & investing. He daily monitors the market, news flow & has good technical & fundamental know how.
Are these two same kinds of investor?

Should they have the same investing behaviour?

Will the style of investment be same for them?

NO, obviously!

Payoff Priority Technique (PPT) is a unique & exceptionally good method to make all your loans disappear from your life.

I came through this technique while reading this extraordinary book called

“Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom” by Van K Thorpe.

Loans & EMIs have become an integral part of our life. Our salary payments are already pre-defined towards the debt obligations each month. In case our incoming cash flow gets disturbed, the EMIs will pile up each month & it might even lead to default.
