Making ₹5000 on a 10L account on weekly index expiries need 200 BankNifty points.
Do it with 4 lots and one just need to make 50 points per lot in a week - 10 points per lot per day.
52 Expiries in a year and without compounding you can make 26% on your capital in a year.

Staying profitable is that simple.
But problem is we want to make 50,000 per week on 10L or 10,000 per week on 1L ... yes thats how disproportionate and illogical our expectations are about trading income.

Trading is a game against people who themselves are using their wit to make profits by outsmarting other people. I outsmart you to make a living and vice versa. And only the real smarts survive. We are not fulfilling any basic need that has room to grow as population grows (3/n)

Its a game where every transaction ensures that lesser amount stays on the table for the players to grab. And I grab your money, you grab mine.
The trading pie always gets smaller from where it starts - Brokerage, Taxes eat into it.

So, the effort to get higher and higher from the diminishing pie needs higher and higher efforts and methods which can be borderline cunning.
But generating small consistent income is not difficult. Why?
(5/n)

Because, the greed of most men to grab a larger pie compared to their efforts/capital/wit leaves a lot on the table for easy pickings.
Go for easy pickings to make a good living out of the markets. (6/6)

Depressing, right?
So, on that depressing note, let me share with you a strategy that generates 10% per week on a capital of 2L and above.
It goes as below...

At 9:20 A.M. sharp, sell ATM call and ATM Put.

Actually ask most people who have had a 1-2 years experience in the market.. what is your expectation per month. They would say 3-4%.
But the strategies they deploy defies what they proclaim. It targets 8-10% per week.
We play with much higher risk than what is needed. (2.a/6)
