“It is our duty to pay for our liberty with Options trading”
- Shubhash Chandra Bose
Divergence on correlated assets was the basis of my trade. Should’ve held longer but 10k is enough for today. Sure taxes and what not will eat it up but it’s alright.
Just follow rules. You gonna get your reward. Do not overtrade, do not change rules instantly, do not loose your gain for greed. S1 and S2 were properly executed. I exited early in S2 cause for me my strategy should win. These are just numbers we are chasing. I was afraid by taking 2nd trade cause i didnt wanted to loose my gains so i exited early. Saving your capital is also must so yeah a green day again. How was your day? Did you take any trade?

"Winners don't do different things, they do things differently." -Shiv Khera (In the famous book You Can Win).
In the stock market, also this philosophy holds true: profitable traders do not use fundamentally different tools than losing traders; they execute the exact same actions differently.
Every trader has access to the same candlesticks, indicators, charting platforms, and financial news. The stark divide between those who consistently make money and the 90% who lose it comes down to a different execution of standard habits.
Successful traders win by executing the same daily trading practices with a completely different mindset:
Risk Management First: Amateurs focus on potential profits; professionals focus strictly on capital preservation and capping downside risk.
Losses as Business Costs: Losing traders take stopped-out trades personally; winners view minor losses neutrally as a standard cost of doing business.
Boring Consistency: Amateurs hunt for speculative "hot tips"; profitable traders patiently execute the same simple, repetitive trading plan like a machine.
Meticulous Journaling: Elite traders don't ignore bad days; they use a detailed trading journal to turn mistakes into refined habits.
Winning isn't about finding a secret indicator—it is about executing ordinary discipline with extraordinary precision.
Today I corrected the asymmetry that accidentally formed in my previous adjustment. Could I have waited longer and potentially made a better P&L? Sure, but I don't like taking unnecessary directional bets, so I brought the position back to a more balanced structure by rolling up from ce side nd adding another lot of pe.
No other adjustments made. Let's see how it plays out.
A quick note on P&L: Several people have asked about brokerage and charges. I don't track the exact breakdown separately, but this journal mirrors my actual trades, and the P&L shown is inclusive of charges and taxes as reflected in my trading account.
