- Big alert for F&O & option traders As per market grapevine, expiring derivative contracts based on the closing auction price is considered a risky move. While developed markets like the U.S. also follow a closing auction mechanism, key differences remain. U.S. exchanges publish buy/sell order imbalances, designated market makers provide liquidity, stock lending and borrowing is seamless, and there is no Securities Transaction Tax (STT). Hence, reduce F&O and options trading, avoid overtrading, leverage, and margin trading/investment funding (MTF).
- Wealthy investors focus more on protecting wealth than growing it because preserving capital becomes equally important as wealth creation. A 50% loss requires a 100% gain to recover. Successful investors prioritise risk management, diversification, liquidity, and downside protection. Wealth is created through smart risks but preserved by staying invested long enough for compounding to work.
- Not every market fall is a bear market: A correction is typically a decline of around 10% or more from recent highs and is a normal part of investing. The key is to stay disciplined and focused on long-term goals. Volatility is temporary, while discipline creates lasting wealth.
- Psychology plays a crucial role in trading: Many traders form a market bias within minutes of the opening bell and spend the day trying to justify it. Fear of missing a trade often exceeds the pain of an actual loss. One undisciplined trade can wipe out weeks of gains, while many traders unknowingly chase losses instead of following the market.
- Position sizing is one of the biggest lessons in trading. When trades succeed, investors wish they had invested more; when they fail, they wish they had invested less. Professional traders let risk management determine position size rather than emotions. Successful trading is about survival, not prediction.
