I don't check DOW late at night and worry about what it will do. Never done it in many many years I can think of. Yes, when I started out I used to. Futile exercise it is. #BroTip

I don't worry about gap downs like most of you do. No gap down can wipe me out because I position myself that way. It can at max damage me 2-3 or maybe 5% something I can recover from.
P.S: No gap down has ever hit 2% of my port forget 5. Position size is the key. #BroTip

I don't have any indices on my screen. I can swear by my life that I don't know where NIFTY and Sensex are. They don't make money for me. Stocks do. And stocks make those indices. #BroTip

From the time I have gathered the right skills to make money, I have NEVER had any large losses. I will not let a small loss snowball into a big one. Will happily take a small hit, step back and hit again when I see a trade. #BroTip

I catch falling knives contrary to what has been preached by many (Including me in my starting years). Every falling knife slows down at some point which is what I try to catch. The R/R they offer is way better. Best is you can do SIZE as..
7/n the majority is selling this stock and you can buy a huge quantity with ease. Getting a huge fill on continuation breakouts is not always successful. Illiquid ones take off without you. #BroTip

I don't have TARGETS. Most of you keep asking me the target and I do not reply back because I'm clueless as you. God and a liar can give you a target. I just focus..

I do not believe in max allocation to be under 25% in any stock. I have had 100%+ in one. But, yes I will not take it home if it does not give me some instant profit. I will take home only the part which will not kill me if there is a gap down. Risk first. Always. #BroTip

You cannot consistently hit triple-digit returns with 10% size. Listen to Mark Minervini's recent Marketsmith interview. In his words, he would invest 400% in 1 stock with ease but will not take it home.
I don't answer this because I usually don't have views. Markets are dynamic. My view can change with the next bar. You have to be fluid. If I have a tight zone in any up trending stock, I will take the breakout. No idea how far will it go. bit.ly/3mUDVmS #BroTip

I never trade BSE stocks. The entire exchange sees relatively low volumes than NSE. #BroTip
Life stage of stocks is same as life cycle of a tree (stage of seeds to a mature tree). This should help you in deciding where you get the big moves from and where the end/pause is near.
I caught #NATIONALUM, #MIRZAINT, #RAMASTEEL, #NCC and many more here. You can guess the stage I caught them at.
Prioritise finding stocks at the seeds/sapling stage to catch big moves. Many stocks reach the seeds stage after correction which we are witnessing currently. Embrace corrections. They throw plenty of seeds at you

After going through your replies, I have compiled the problems into these major categories:
- Capital
- Fear of losing
- Bad timing
- Where to sell
- Unable to ride the trend
- Struggle in pyramiding
- Addiction
- How to have a short watchlist
- Long only mindset
contd.
- Where to set targets
- Bad mindset
Let's start with CAPITAL
Are you claiming that you possess a successful strategy and consistently generate profits with your small trading account, but the only hindrance is the lack of capital? If this statement is true,
