The performance of this PMS has been nothing short of an absolute catastrophe. Over the last five years during one of the strongest bull runs in the Indian market the Consistent Compounders Portfolio delivered around 4.8% CAGR. The Nifty 50 TRI delivered over 10%. A fixed

This was bound to happen. Traders have been warning about it from day one.

India’s derivatives market has nearly 400 times the volume of the cash market. When cash-market liquidity is so low, especially on the BSE, participants with large capital can influence cash prices and

SEBI’s latest data shows that retail F&O losses have fallen by ₹20,000 crore last eyary. On the surface, this looks like a good thing.

But nearly 20 lakh traders also stopped participating in Indian equity F&O during the same period.

So, the real question is: have these people

Be honest!

How many of you are taking slightly bullish bets in the last 15m during the expiry?
Yes, It is working well
43.5%
No, Completely Avoding it

Voicing for a fair expiry! Delink expiry from CAS

Thanks,
for bringing the retail issues around CAS into the spotlight.

I still believe the simplest solution is the one many traders have suggested: let the options expire before CAS begins at 3:15 PM.

There is no need to change the CAS mechanism or redesign

[Anuj Singhal अनुज सिंघल @_anujsinghal]

SEBI chief said he is open to suggestions on CAS if any tweak is needed. However he made it clear that it’s a transparent system with no manipulation.

What changes do you want ? Post using hashtag #CASKiAwaaz and we will collate them and send to SEBI.

BSE volumes both total contracts traded and turnover looked fairly normal and are more or less in line with their usual numbers.

The $5 trillion economy target was initially set for 2022, then pushed to 2024 and 2025, and has now moved to somewhere between 2028 and 2030, more than twice the original timeline.

So, what really went wrong? Was the initial target unrealistically ambitious, or has the

[Sekath R @Rboykin13]

I’m not taking any trades in my personal account today as a mark of support for the cause against CAS.

But honestly, I don’t think a one day action will make much difference. Brokers have already accepted that volumes may fall by 10–20% today and expect everything to return to

[Sekath R @Rboykin13]

Sometimes I’m amazed by how people are willing to give up better returns just to save tax.

You pay tax only when you make money. Even if the tax is higher, what ultimately matters is how much you are left with after paying it.

But instead of focusing on how much more they’re

Back in 2022, we started building our first product. Target: An automation platform.

At that point, I had no background in coding, tech, or product building.

I was just a trader who saw a gap.

Backtesting had become easy with platforms like StockMock, but going from a

Based on this post, I got a few questions asking why I chose momentum investing.

In the previous post, I said that momentum, value and growth are simply different approaches. No approach is always better than the others.

So the next question was: how did I choose the right

Is Short BSE a good trade now?

[Sekath R @Rboykin13]

I genuinely feel traders should consider staying away from Nifty expiry day trading for some time.

With NSE preparing for its IPO, If volumes start drying up, exchanges will have a much stronger incentive to take traders and brokers concerns seriously and push it to SEBI.

Please make sure everyone fills this out. Whether or not it leads to an immediate change, we need as many responses as possible to build and present a strong case.

Today, the total number of contracts traded on BSE fell by nearly half. I’ll attach the exact data below.

Last Week: 50,36,78,948
This week: 25,55,98,003

So, the new closing mechanism has clearly hit overall trading volumes. However, BSE’s premium turnover remained more or less

[Sekath R @Rboykin13]

Today has been an absolute nightmare, probably one of the worst days we have faced in a while

We were carrying directional positional strategies.

The market closed around 0.6–0.7% higher yesterday. The market opened normally today, but IV exploded right from the morning,

Thanks for being so kind SEBI!
