I’m taking a 30-day pause on impulsive purchases. 💸
Not because I’m broke — but because I’m tired of buying things I don’t need for reasons I don’t understand.
Here’s what I’m doing and why: 🧵
What the hell is happening to the Indian stock market?
Dear @SEBI_India & @NSEIndia@BSEIndia
How many times do you expect traders to rebuild their entire business?
> December 2020 – 50% leverage removed
> March 2021 – 75% leverage removed
>September 2021 – 100% leverage removed
We adapted.
Yes, leverage is a double-edged sword. But thousands of genuine traders with smaller capital were affected. Still, we adapted.
> September 2023 – Bank Nifty expiry was shifted from Thursday to Wednesday, while BSE launched Sensex weekly expiry on Friday. Suddenly, we had expiries almost every trading day.
Many traders, especially algo and 0-DTE traders, redesigned their entire systems.
We adapted.
> November 2024 – Weekly expiries of FinNifty, Bank Nifty and other indices were removed. Only Nifty and Sensex weekly expiries remained.
Again, thousands of traders had to change their strategies.
We adapted.
> February 2025 – Expiry-day margin benefit was removed.
STBT traders were hit badly.
We adapted.
> 1st September 2025 – Nifty expiry shifted from Thursday to Tuesday.
Again...
We adapted.
> Jane Street reportedly made billions of dollars from Indian markets over the years. Later, regulatory action was taken, and subsequently trading restrictions were lifted after payment of regulatory dues/settlement.
How exactly did all of this benefit Indian retailers?
Meanwhile...
- Option STT has increased massively over the last few years.
- Bid-ask spreads have widened.
- Slippage has increased.
- Global volatility has increased.
- Transaction costs keep rising.
We adapted to everything.
And now...
Closing Auction Session (CAS).
Seriously?
Every few months there's another structural change.
Every few months traders are forced to rebuild their systems.
Every few months liquidity takes another hit.
You say these changes are for retail investor protection.
Then please show us the data.
Can you show even one report proving that retail trading losses have actually reduced because of all these interventions?
If not, then what exactly are these constant changes achieving?
Instead of making markets more efficient, you're making trading more expensive, more complicated, and pushing serious traders towards crypto and international markets.
As a full-time trader, my inner soul genuinely cries today seeing the direction our markets are heading.
We survived leverage removal.
We survived daily expiries.
We survived removal of daily expiries.
We survived expiry changes.
We survived removal of expiry margin benefits.
We survived higher STT.
We survived wider spreads and slippage.
Now we are expected to survive CAS as well?
Enough is enough.
I request SEBI and the exchanges to reconsider this rule.
Before implementing such major structural changes, consult the trading community. There should be proper communication, public discussion, and representation from active traders.
I also request every trader to raise their voice through the proper channels. If you genuinely believe these changes are hurting market participants, please send your feedback or complaint to SEBI through its official grievance mechanism. And if anyone from the industry has a direct channel to the exchanges or regulators, please help convey the concerns of the trading community.
Please Retweet this so our voice reaches the right people.
Enough of silent adaptation. It's time the trading community is heard.

NEET Aspirant Harsh Dubey was so angry and outraged with the system that he stood up from his chair inside NDTV Studio to speak up and raise questions. Leave everything and watch this video from @ShivAroor’s show India Matters!
@flipkartsupport still no response after 2 months. Pathetic customer service. Will never buy from @Flipkart again. Considering complaining to consumer court now

First time in my life I am seeing India at the center of a truly global tug of war
Yeah ... India has had problems with US before
But those were "side conflicts" ... meaning headlines in India, but not in US
This time it's headlines in BOTH countries
This is the time to stand with PM Modi in a global faceoff.
Pity that dynastic losers are unable to see beyond their political interest.
Despite having Jay Shah, Devajit Saikia, and several BJP-backed figures at the helm of Indian cricket, the BJP government cannot even stop BCCI from playing India–Pakistan matches.
And we expect them to deliver on bigger national issues.
It is shameful that an institution like BCCI thrives this way. It is shameful that BJP lectures the nation while pocketing the money.
All the excuses of blaming bureaucrats, opposition, or some deep state & halka state sound hollow and laughable.
I didn't know we needed a Supreme Court order to sterilize and immunize stray dogs. I thought that was the duty of the administration anyway. Guess I was wrong.
Will boycott the entire Asia cup tournament. Hope many of you will also wake your conscience up and join. Time to show the government what big blunder they have done by banning dream 11.
BCCI is eager to have India v Pakistan because people are eager to watch it.
Boycott it. Dont watch a single match of Asia Cup.
Make BCCI learn a lesson. When BCCI suffers monetarily, patriotism will come naturally to them.
Cricket often unites our country across all divisions and spectrums. This time around, deciding not to watch cricket should unite the country.
#BoycottAsiaCup
BCCI is overconfident that it will retain most of its viewership for India Pakistan matches. The only way to teach them a lesson is to ensure the opposite happens. Spread the word on and outside social media. Terror, blood and cricket cannot flow together.
#BoycottAsiaCup
BCCI won’t back out from #INDvsPAK matches in Asia Cup— too much money & TRPs at stake.
If the board or government is too greedy to act, it’s on us to stop watching. Only then will the circus end.

Story of a friend:
Didn't buy a flat in Bangalore in 2011 when kids were young, now in last 14 years he changed 8 houses, 6 times school for kids. His children couldn't make friends or concentrate on study because of changing school and houses frequently.
Now his kids are direction-less in career, without friends and he himself is depressed seeing his kids even with 2cr in his Mutual fund.
Moral: You can't calculate everything in an excel with CAGR formula.
his is more than just a tax cut; it's a historic move to boost the entire Indian economy. 🇮🇳
