Mastering the Trade -  Key Lessons from John Carter
Trading isn’t about luck. It’s about discipline, risk management, and repeatable setups. Here’s what every trader should know 🧵 Image
1) Trading is a skill, not a gamble
Success comes from strategies you can repeat, not from guessing market moves.
Control what you can do with your entries, exits, and risk.
2) Mindset is everything
Most traders fail due to emotions, not setups.
Stick to your plan
Journal every trade: why you entered, what went right/wrong, how you felt

Trading isn’t just “buying and selling stocks.”
It’s about knowing yourself, managing risk, controlling emotions, and protecting your capital.
If you’re serious about trading, study your game inside out — not just setups and profits.

A thread 🧵 Image
Trading success isn’t about the best strategy, it’s about mastering yourself:
Discipline. Patience. Consistency. Image
1. Discipline – follow your plan
Successful traders stick to their rules no matter what the market does. Impulse decisions and emotional trades are the fastest way to lose. Discipline keeps you consistent.

Warren Buffett nearly went bankrupt in 1962
His biggest bet was burning $4M a month. Bankruptcy was weeks away
Then a man named Harry Bottle saved his career in 6 days
The untold story of Buffett’s riskiest investment  🧵Image
1) Young Buffett thought he struck gold
He bet big on Dempster Mill, a struggling windmill manufacturer
Stock price: $18/share
Book value: $72/share
A 75% discount is the perfect Ben Graham-style bargain
By 1961, he owned 70% of the company Image
2) But the numbers were lying
Dempster made up 21% of Buffett’s fund
Cash: $166K
Debt: $2.3M
$4M of inventory sat rotting in warehouses some of it since 1909
Bankruptcy was weeks away. Buffett was trapped Image

Trading in the Zone – Mark Douglas
Most traders lose not because of bad strategies… but because of bad mindsets.
Mark Douglas explains why trading psychology is the real edge.
Here’s the full breakdown 🧵 Image
1)The Core Idea

Trading isn’t about predicting the market.
It’s about learning to:
- Think in probabilities
- Control your emotions
- Execute with discipline
Success = consistency, not prediction.
2) Why Traders Fail

Douglas says most traders fall into 3 traps:
- Need to be right → They can’t accept losses.
- Random reinforcement → A few lucky wins create overconfidence.
- Emotional trading → Fear, greed, and hope drive decisions.
Result: they sabotage themselves, even with good strategies.

Are markets really being manipulated on the expiry day ?

A detailed thread🧵 Image
1) Lets see last Nifty expiry on 8th May

We had war tensions
Lot of uncertainity going on

But straddle at 12 pm was quoting at 19😳

Infact 24400 CE had OI of 7.5 crore
This is highest ever OI on a single strike
2) This indicates that someone has opted for a quite expiry and inspite of the uncertainity is sure that 24400 CE won’t be taken out.

But now contrast this to yesterday(15th May)
Straddle was at 175 at 12 pm

And IV was spiking since morning
