Many Traders might be using #supertrend with different time frames, starting from 3 minute to 1 hour in #Intraday on #banknifty & #nifty . Some days they make profits and some days they make loss. Have you ever wondered what is the best or ideal time frame to trade super trend?

If you are using higher time frames, you realize that at times when market reverses, you lose more as we have to wait for that one full candle to complete. That’s why many traders prefer trading super trend in smaller time frame. But have you tested it with historical data?

beginners simply consider only brokerage as charges, and think that if we make above Rs.40, we are going to make profits. But totally 6 different charges we end up paying for every trade we make.
Brokerage
Transaction charges
GST
STT
Sebi fee
Stamp duty

I tested the super trend intraday trading system on Bank Nifty from 2009 to 2019 with various time frame 3 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins and 1 hour.
Once in a while you can make very huge returns in lower time frame like 3 mins, on days like Nirmala Sitharaman day

Do you think, you could keep getting such trades? You make big returns when you are right, but lose little when you are wrong, so based on risk reward basis, do you think 3mins time frame is a very good trading system and you can make profits in the longer run?

Super trend when applied on 3 mins time frame, it generated 351% before charges, but after we applied the cost, we realized it doesn’t generate any profits at all. If one continued trading it on lower time frame, he would have blown off the trading account multiple times.

In this chart, it is clearly visible that the lower the time frame - higher the charges, trading on 3mins time frame, you end up spending 10+ lacs on transaction charges alone. We should neither trade on very low time frames nor on very high time frames.

Only 15 mins time frame is able to generate better returns after all charges. Trading Super trend on very lower time isn’t profitable which is proved statistically, if you are doing so, please avoid it squareoff.in/single-post/Be…

Anthropic just wiped $285 billion from global software stocks in a single day. And if you work in Indian IT, you need to pay attention. Here's what happened and what it means for your career 🧵

On January 30, Anthropic released 11 plugins for Claude Cowork, an AI agent that doesn't just chat. It reads files, organizes folders, drafts documents, reviews contracts, manages sales pipelines, writes SQL queries, and handles compliance tracking.

It's not a chatbot. It's a digital employee.

Stock Market panicked. All IT Companies faced the heat,$285 Billion market cap wiped out in a single day.

Every time Bitcoin corrected, I claimed the bubble had burst. Every single time, it proved me wrong. Then one day I stepped back from price charts and decided to actually learn everything about crypto trading. This thread will help you take your first trade in Crypto.

Just like everyone, I had my doubts.
"At least stocks have underlying businesses. What does crypto have? Blockchain?"
I was too naive to understand blockchain. The entire crypto ecosystem relies on it.
Let me explain it in simple terms that finally made sense to me.

Imagine a shared notebook that anyone can see and write in, but once something is written, nobody can erase or change it. All your friends keep identical copies - if one person tries to cheat and change a page, everyone notices and rejects it.

What if I told you that Jane Street made ₹36,500 crores from Indian markets in just 2 years, and ₹4,800 crores of that was allegedly through market manipulation? They turned India's stock market into their personal ATM using a strategy so clever. Here's the complete details 🧵

Who is Jane Street?

Founded in 2000, USA
2,600+ employees globally
High-frequency trading wizards
Operates through 4 entities in India (2 foreign, 2 domestic)

They're not investors. They're traders using algorithms that execute faster than you can blink.

First, the mind-blowing numbers:

Total profit in 2 years: ₹36,502 crores
Profit from options: ₹43,289 crores
LOSS from stocks/futures: ₹7,496 crores

Wait, they LOST money in stocks? This wasn't incompetence. It was genius-level manipulation.

Solo traveled to Vietnam with zero plans, chose just one city — Da Nang — and it turned out to be the most peaceful, soulful vacation I’ve ever had. Vietnam is vast, but you don’t need to race across the country, if you are on time constraint, then opt for Da Nang. Here's why🧵

While everyone rushes to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang offers something different - a laid-back vibe where luxury costs less than domestic Indian destinations. You get to see Pristine beaches and beautiful hill station, which is just an hour drive.

Checked into Outpost hostel initially. Totally dead. Bad vibe. Within hours, I moved to another near by hostel Rom Casa — vibrant, buzzing, full of travelers from around the world. Best decision. When you are traveling, don't fall for sunk cost fallacy.
