Ex-chip designer. Now overclocking returns instead of CPUs | Escaped payroll prison, serving life in freedom | #hustle

Having grown my Zerodha account 5x in last 19 months since I started systematic intraday options trading, felt I am eligible enough to share my principles around below topics that helped me scale up.

A thread on my style of position sizing, compounding and handling drawdown 👇

@Ankit_Quant Much depends on the game being played

In my low freq indicator based entry/exit system with 5s execution latency many a times I get big +ve slippage (actual executed price vs backtest data executed price) thereby nullifying to a good extent the usual -ve slippage in other orders

@quatltd Happy to read how the thread ended.

Very important that he continues to follow the good dietary practices (like reduced sugar intake) that has helped him thus far.

Wishing your father good health and sustained recovery 🙏

@chethan_kumar_a Nope, there isn't any content from me on the coding side of things. I'm not a great coder. So not good enough to provide good content.

I've heard people say below ones are good.

I get many queries on how to learn automated trading.

Step 1: Learn trading.

Step 2: Learn automation

Resources for Step 2:
1. @f2003062 YouTube series. https://t.co/3lzLODfuMs

2. Mayank Rasu Udemy course https://t.co/jKWjgjpHgz

Heard good reviews on these.

2 years as Full-Time trader ✅

CAGR:
4 years part-time trader: 73%
2 years full-time trader: 21%

Would still choose F-T trading anyday bcos
- I can sleep whenever I want
- I get to live in hometown in the home I grew up in
- Travel, spend quality time with mother, wife any time

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

1 year as a full-time trader ✅️

30% net return from automated intraday options trading TTM.

You get freedom. You hunt your own food. You are that elusive tiger people yearn to see in the jungle 🐯 💪

Cheers to all full-time traders out there 🙌

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

@iLiveToTrade No, that's not a constraint in my case.

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

@ShankarMan11180 Focus on entering a high paying prison.

Use payroll prison salary savings to fund & experiment running your business (automated trading?) venture.

Be frugal. Save big. Use savings to build something which makes delayed gratification worth it.

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

@dashingrahul7 Yes, it will be tough. Possible

Been through ~1 year of no return recently. Coincidentally investments appreciated during that window, which may not happen next time

2-3 years underperformance wouldn't affect my lifestyle

Beyond that maybe I don't deserve to be fulltime trader

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

@ArpitPuri8 No, it doesn't when I look at the holistic picture of life

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

@dbytesmith "Why your CPU keeps changing power states"

Damn, that's chip designer level thinking 🙏

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

I believe there is a short time window (ongoing) where me & loved ones would have all of health, time & money.

I'm thankful I can afford the fullness of this TIME bcos my trading is automated.

11 trips with mom, wife in 2 years - timewise affordable only bcos of being FT trader

@ZiddiBakra @saurabh_gunjal_ On this note I would like Elon Musk to increase tweet character limits of free accounts beyond 280

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

After deep diving into the price action in 2025-26, I'm pivoting my 0DTE short option s/m to one that benefits from a different kind of price action.

One that I believe will be more robust to price action regime shifts. And does better margin management.

System 5 starts Jun'26.

[Aamodh Kuthethur @GoldenDustbin]

Forces me towards the drawing board to fix this flaw.

Also, after trading same 0DTE short option system from Jul'23 till now I feel it is time for some modification - in search of better margin utiilization with same funda. Have to evaluate whether any modification is worth it.
