Was going through my old tweets, found this!
This was me before I started Automated Systematic Intraday Options Trading in Jun'20 end
Tried multiple things for 32 months and was lossy before figuring out what works best for me
1. Mutual Funds investing (Sep'17 - Jun'20)
1/6
2. Discretionary short term trading in stocks (Feb'18 - Sep'18)
3. Discretionary positional trading in stocks based on chart patterns (Oct'18 - Nov'18)
4. NR7 based intraday stock futures - rule based but not backtested thoroughly (Nov'18 - Jan'19)
2/6
5. Systematic supertrend based positional trading in Nifty in 1H chart. This was manually backtested on 4 years data (Jan'19-Mar'20).
6. Algo trading (automated) candlestick profile based intraday stock mean reversion strategy. Thoroughly backtested. (Jan'20-Feb'20)
3/6
7. USDINR and Crude positional futures systematic trading.
8. Discretionary positional weekly option selling in index (Apr'20-May'20). Not backtested.
9. Automated Systematic Intraday Options Trading (Jun'20 - present). Finally found what works best for me.
4/6
During this 32 month phase I failed in most of the 8 styles of making money I attempted. Lost 'x' rupee. Didn't quit.
During this lossy phase I did two things right:
1. Saved 70% of my salary income.
2. Parked majority of my savings in FD. Did not increase trading capital
5/6
Once I found the trading style that suits me, I liquidated my FD and mutual funds and pumped in the capital to my trading account and recovered the 32 month 'x' rupee max DD in 8 subsequent months.
This is how my account level PnL curve looks now.
6/6
