Stay away from get rich quick schemes. Buy and hold nifty index. You will be a business partner of best businesses in India.
And if you really want to try trading, take out 1% of you total captial from nifty 50, then try to grow it for next 5yrs. And if you are successful then you can take out 5% more. Again grow it for 5yrs. And continue like this.
Personally I won’t use more than 10% in trading.
There is a great saying: Be scared if something is tooo good to be True.
What if NIFTY ends up like indices of Japan, Greece or Pakistan?
Then the best option is to buy gold and store it in a hidden vault in your basement. If the NIFTY index were to decline like the indices in Pakistan or Greece, your bank fixed deposits would also lose significant value.
For that you need to study and understand why that happened. If you see same problem with India then HOLDING GOLD is the only option.
It won’t grow, but it will maintain your buying power no matter what happens to India or the world.
This quote is so true.
This quote is right that’s why nitin sir told that we need to treat trading as a business. Business man who are also traders they make money and Traders who are also businessman in real-life they also lose money because they still not discovered how to do trading like a real business.
You are not going to like it what I am bout to say.
Live on 50k and save 1 lakhs in Nifty Index Funds for the next 10-15 years. You will recover the money.
Your situation is like an exaggerated version of my situation. I have lost 4L+ in FnO trading. I was planning to take Personal Loan a while back, when I was gaining in F&O, but due to some mundane reasons, I didn’t. Now it seems that I was lucky to not take the loan. I won’t be adding any more capital now. If I lose my remaining capital of around 70k, I will never look back towards F&O.
Nice
You are a very strong believer of long term investing right let’s see by chance if modi govt. does not come in power how long your long-term mindset works? Are you ready to wait for more 5 years to make your investment in green ? Rahul Gandhi now saying investing in share market is a scam and even Govt. tried to manipulate the small retail investors. You can check history this kind of candle of 2000 points never have been created in the history of nifty 50 till now.
It doesn’t matter which govt comes.
As long as India is developing, as long as you see development happening around you, in villages and cities, NIFTY will keep going up.
Nifty was going up in Congress govt and is going up in BJP govt too.
Growth happens because private individuals/companies.
Govt may influence it, but as far as things are becoming better markets will keep going up.
Although right now might not be a great time to invest too much. Hint: US yield Curve is inverted! Be careful.
I also believe in diversification. I will never put all my money in stocks. My personal threshold is 25% . Stock Market is risky and there is no guarantee that Long Term Investing will work but it is safest bet you can take in market.
Absolutely nothing to worry about.
According to historical data, a recession generally happens after the yield curve uninverts. Not after the yield curve inversion.
Although there are no guarantees. But saying “this time is different” has also been wrong so many times in past.

You are doing it wrong. Too many people get excited too soon. You cannot be so careless. This is REAL money after all!
To this day, it takes me months to build confidence and put a strategy to use with full-force.
1st step: Backtest it for long durations. Test robustness, investigate if returns are because of the odd lucky outliers, check rolling returns, yoy returns, DD etc. DO NOT over-optimize and curve-fit it to junk (this will make sense with experience)
2nd Step: Walk it forward without taking trades. See how the results are…
3rd step: Trade very small for few months.
And after all this I wait till I build a small cushion of profits from the strategy (with modest allocation), only then do I bring it into my 'main strategies group".
If you do not want to put in all that work and/or have a busy full-time job , it is probably better you stick to a more positional kind of strategy wherein you mix equities and options without taking much leverage. Look up "options wheel strategy " on youtube. This too will take time and effort to understand and execute, and you will have to start slow and small.
Hi there,
sorry, that you are facing tough times! My sincere suggestion -
Again, promise yourself you will never trade in F&O. If you have that itchy feeling to trade, invest the same in good quality stocks!
Hope this helps.
