Superb analysis by @kirubaakaran.
Need to clearly change some things.

Why 0DTE feels broken in 2026? Every option seller I know is saying the same thing this year: "0DTE just isn't paying like it used to." I pulled NIFTY expiry-day data (2020–2026) with Claude AI.

I broke down three things on every 0DTE, hour by hour from 9:20 to 3:00

ATM Implied Volatility,
the spot's high-low range,
and ATM open interest.

I recently spent 2 weeks in China.

6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu.

I went there with curiosity.

Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building.

I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling.

Not because I found a business idea for myself.

But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously.

I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning.

Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets.

And then I kept thinking about India.

We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways.

After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food.

China is not perfect. No country is.

But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us.

They are decades ahead.

The saddest part for me was the currency.

Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt.

We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power.

But where is the quality of life?

Where is the civic sense?

Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier?

Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism?

I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list.

That should bother us.

Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.

But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted.

Again, this is not a hate post.

I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me.

Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great.

Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind.

China made me realise one thing very clearly:

India’s potential is not the problem.

Execution is.

And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.

@Gangster298191 True. Not there. Not sure where. Somewhere for sure.

Just crossed 10K followers on X. 🙏

And honestly, a year and a half ago, I could never have imagined that so many people would care about what I have to say.

I started posting as a form of self-reflection. Nothing more.

Even today, it still surprises me when thousands of people view a post, interact, share opinions, or learn alongside me. It genuinely baffles me sometimes.

What’s even crazier is that my most viral post had nothing to do with trading or markets.
It was simply an honest opinion about my travels in China.

That made me realise something important:

If even a small account like mine can create meaningful conversations, imagine the kind of impact people with millions of followers can have on the world.

I truly hope people use that influence to do good, help others, and create value; despite all the noise and trolling that comes with the internet.

Also, one thing I’m proud of:
Not a single rupee spent on promotions, boosting, or buying reach.
Everything here has been completely organic.

Grateful for this platform.
And grateful for all of you. ❤️

[Options.India @Options_IndiaAB]

@Somchai55475884 Thanks.
Ive been called a Pakistani and a Chinese agent within 30 seconds of posting.

[Options.India @Options_IndiaAB]

@Happysingh2991 I can't do that publicly bro.
But all I can say is that it wasn't a bagpacking trip.

[Options.India @Options_IndiaAB]

@telAdi76 I do realize that.

Whatever unfortunate incident you described must have happened. Just another way to say government does something bad. All governemnts are doing something bad. Please understand that in no way I am promoting communism. Just questioning democracy.

[Options.India @Options_IndiaAB]

@1shankarsharma Exactly my point too sir.
I wish I could say the same thing about india.

[Options.India @Options_IndiaAB]

@himansh63588688 But u said hate mongering.
I thought my post was more patriotic. I was sad because my country is not upto the mark compared to others. Thats patriotism l, otherwise why would I be sad.
