In so many fields, we never see the fruits of our labors; we’re part of a larger team and process. Trading is unique in that we alone are responsible for what we earn, and we see each day the outcomes of our efforts.

[Aviator_Trader @Dpatel_equity]

When nervousness hits, the first thing you want to do is simply acknowledge that fact. I am not comfortable with the trade right now, which cues you to extract the information from your experience. Next step: Why am I not comfortable? Has something important changed in the trade?

If you lack energy, you will lack focus; if you lack focus, you’ll lack intentionality; if you lack intentionality, you’ll lack the ability to follow trading plans.

Successful traders learn to build their resilience over time and adapt to stresses that at one time might have been overwhelming.
When we master one level of challenge, we build resilience for the next level.

This distinction between active and passive trading is all-important, for the active trader, nothing is left to chance: where to pursue opportunity, where to sit back, where to take profits, where to limit losses—all are preplanned. This takes time, energy, and a sustained focus.

[Aviator_Trader @Dpatel_equity]

Trading without emotion is hogwash: as long as we care about our performance, our feelings will be engaged when we put our capital at risk and pursue our goals. Emotional engagement can work to our favor if we sustain a positive emotional state, bringing
out the best in us.

AN OPEN LETTER TO TRADINGVIEW FROM AN ADMIRER

I’ve always been a big admirer of the team at @tradingview for what they’ve built and how they’ve transformed the charting experience for traders. I’ve also been quite vocal about the importance of investing in essential tools rather than hesitating over such costs.

However, the recently introduced symbol limits per watchlist, even on paid plans, feel like a step backward. I understand the intent to increase ARPU and push upgrades, but reducing the Premium plan limit from 1000 to 500 symbols is quite restrictive, especially considering it’s already at the upper end of what retail traders in India can afford.

This change feels unjustified and, ideally, the earlier limits should be restored. If that’s not feasible, then at least increasing the caps would be a fair middle ground, bringing Premium back to 1000 symbols, and raising Essential and Plus tiers to 250 and 500 respectively.

Now, one might argue why anyone would need such a large number of symbols in a watchlist and how it actually helps.

What most traders, and even the team at TradingView, may not fully understand about India is the concept of circuit filters enforced by our regulators. This is quite unique to Indian markets. Since international platforms don’t provide a way to exclude stocks based on these filters directly in scanners, we are forced to first eliminate such stocks using local tools.

To avoid illiquid names, especially those stuck in 2% or 5% circuit filters, we have to create a refined “Total Universe” watchlist first. Only then can we effectively run scans on TradingView. If we skip this step and rely purely on inbuilt scanners, results often get cluttered with circuit-bound stocks, which are practically untradeable and hard to filter out afterward.

Currently, National Stock Exchange of India has around 2300 listed stocks. Even after filtering out illiquid names and those under strict circuit limits, we are still left with roughly 900 to 1100 stocks depending on market conditions. This already exceeds even the earlier limits. I had earlier requested increasing these limits, but the recent change has gone in the opposite direction, making it almost impractical to use TradingView’s watchlist-based scanning effectively in Indian markets.

I’ve used multiple platforms over the years, free and paid, desktop and web, and haven’t encountered such restrictive limitations elsewhere. This kind of constraint could actually give competing platforms an opportunity to challenge TradingView, at least in the Indian market.

On behalf of retail traders and the fintwit community, I would strongly request the TradingView team to restore the earlier limits. If changes are unavoidable, then at least consider increasing the limits as suggested earlier.

I’d also urge the fintwit community to support and amplify this, so the importance of this issue is clearly communicated.

Most traders optimize at the wrong layer.

They pick one timeframe and force every decision through that lens.

But timeframes aren't identities. They're tools with different information densities.

[TradeTM @tradetm_org]

your mom didn’t spend 9 months making you just for you to spend 9 years “waiting for confirmation”

“bro i’m just being careful with my risk”

CAREFUL???

you’ve been “being careful” for so long you’re basically a financial monk — no losses, no gains, just eternal enlightenment in mediocrity

you know what your problem is? you think risk = danger

no, risk = LIFE

you’re not managing risk, you’re avoiding it like a coward

5% position size? you’ll die of old age before your account moves anything to talk about

“but i’m protecting my capital”

protecting it from what? PROFITS?

you’ve backtested 87 different position sizing models but you’ve never actually TAKEN a position

while you’re tweaking your Kelly formula to the 4th decimal, some 19-year-old degen just YOLO’d into your setup and made your month

“but his R:R is bad”

his R:R? he’s RICH, you’re READING this

this is why you’re broke
this is why you’re still in demo mode while others are on yachts
this is why you’ll die optimizing spreadsheets instead of compounding returns

IDEA → RISK → TRADE → MONEY

not
idea → overthink → re-test → regret

you think position sizing means fear
it means conviction

1% risk isn’t sacred scripture, it’s training wheels

take the damn trade
size it where it hurts a little
feel alive again

“but what if it loses—”
then you LEARN
you ADAPT
you GROW

meanwhile you’re out here bragging about your 0% drawdown — newsflash, you also have a 0% return

the market doesn’t reward safe
it rewards BALLS + DISCIPLINE

stop being a spreadsheet philosopher and start being a trader

now excuse me while i go double my risk and quadruple my growth while you’re still calculating if 1.27R is “optimal”

fucking pathetic

The story you tell yourself about who you are is the limit of what you'll achieve.

[Raj Shamani @rajshamani]

If you're not growing 1% daily, you're shrinking. Staying the same isn't an option in a world that's constantly changing.
