Any new and young aspiring investor or trader while opening a demat and trading account dreams big of making at least 10% return a month from stock trading. Almost all of them think they will double their money in one year, and then compound it.

Well same here, that’s the reason I lost money heavily when I started trading in 2007.

At that time people were not that smart or educated (though I am an MBA in Finance), I thought maybe this is the reason people think this way. Later India developed, our education system developed and I thought now people might have changed in ten years time in 2017. read more

Read to know why many option sellers sell options on expiry day and try to make money.

Hedging is sort of Insurance. Like when we buy a car we also buy an insurance. Similarly other insurance products like life insurance, loan insurance etc. These are basically hedge against certain problems in our lives.

Hedging is the same. If take a trade and hedge it properly rest assured that the loss will be limited because hedge will make sure the losses are limited.

Hedge reduces or eliminates fear, one of the worst enemies of trading. It reduces fear because the trader knows that his loss is going to be limited. In that case hedging allows him to take a bigger trade. read more

As soon as a trader enters the world of Options the first thing that comes in their mind is to buy options.

These are the reasons they start off by buying options as told by brokers, or friends or reading in websites:

1. Option buy has low risk – It is a myth. Agreed you can buy an option for less than 100 rupees but do not forget that it does not guarantee that it will make money. That 100 rupees can become ZERO. There is no business in the world where you buy something then there is a possibility of losing 100% of the money on it. Low risk if combined for one year can be very high risk. Ask any three year experienced option buyer how much he lost. I bet the average will be more than 1 lakh rupees. read more

I know a lot of you want to either come to me for class room training or want me to visit their city for class room training.

2. They want to ask questions face to face. This is fine but what is the difference between asking questions on email, mobile or whatsapp? It is the same. What is more important is the quality of the answer not the way the answer is delivered. read more
