Asymmetric Investing

This form of trading covers currencies but can also be applied to other short term instruments like commodity and equity and futures and options.

As far as possible never speculate daily in equity and equity index futures and options.  It is just a waste of time, money, and resources. 

The lion eats a whole juicy deer just once a week, only the rats have to nibble garbage daily and scurry when even the lights are turned on.

But, at any cost, in Asymmetric Investing, dont risk more than 0.5% of your capital in a single trade and dont do more than 3 actively open trades.

If you dont intend to take delivery, ensure that all positions are closed before SEBI mandated deadlines.

Dont trade more than once a week or until the time is right which can even take years or decades.

Believe me when I tell you this, I have wisdom now.

Wisdom comes from good judgment, which comes from experience, which comes from bad judgement.

I am now officially an Expert in Financial Speculation.

An expert is one who has made all the mistakes possible, he has been burned not once, but a hundred times by fire.

Only writers of these options consistently make money. Options buyers lose money 999 times out of 1000. 

Never write options with your own hard earned money, this is only done by people who are using OPM (Other People’s Money) and people using OPM are only found among the Wall Street/Dalal Street Pimps.

To do active trading profitably you need to watch Yearly charts and patterns, otherwise you will only be spending your entire life in front of a screen scalping for pennies.

I get real time updates from and of course anyone can afford gemini.google.com at Rs 2000 per month, if you know how to use Gemini Baba, you can make billions of rupees actively trading the below indices.
