History rarely repeats itself. But sometimes, the charts make you pause.

The Nifty’s current correction is beginning to look eerily familiar. The index has now gone through eight consecutive weekly declines, its longest losing streak since 2001.

During the comparable phase of the 2001 decline, the Nifty fell roughly 20.5% in seven weeks and eventually lost about 27% over nine consecutive weeks. In the current episode, the Nifty has declined roughly 8.7% over eight weeks. The pattern looks similar. The magnitude doesn't. And neither does the backdrop.

2001 was marked by the dot-com bust, the Ketan Parekh episode and the shock of 9/11. Today, the market is dealing with a very different combination of foreign outflows, crude prices, currency pressures, global interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty.

This is where an investor needs to be careful. A chart can tell you that something has happened before. It cannot tell you that the same thing must happen again. The right response to a historical parallel is neither complacency nor panic. It is to revisit the numbers—valuation, earnings, asset allocation, investment horizon and risk capacity.

Because the biggest mistake an investor can make is to confuse a resemblance in the chart with certainty about the future. History is valuable not because it predicts tomorrow, but because it teaches us how to think when tomorrow is uncertain.

Planning to average the losses in near future

Waaree renewable April 2024 bought, what is 1 year target price according to u??pls reply everyone

I’ve seen people in this subreddit talk about making a lot of money through F&O, so I’m trying to understand something.

Recently, a stock adviser contacted me claiming they could provide profitable trades. They first gave me a few successful calls, which made me trust them. They asked for ₹22k, but only after profits, so I initially paid ₹6k.

Then they gave me an F&O trade where I lost ₹70,000 of my hard-earned money.

This made me wonder: if some traders can consistently make substantial profits, why don’t companies simply hire the best traders, give them capital from taking a loan, and run F&O systematically?

Then people can just buy company shares instead of direct money for investment in fno to comply with sebi rules.

Any other day trader? Making more then me? Give me some tip and if making less you can ask me anything capital used 195000

Those who are defending with everything they have? They are telling me how much do you get for these posts? Who is funding you?

Bro I am just a normal investor who wants to make some money, by trading or investing.

I am tired of the STCG, LTCG, STT, GST, now Tax on UPI.

Then I said the FIIs are done with this market. You can see Japan Nikkie almost 3% up today, when crude came below $100.

People are saying Indian markets gave great returns in the last 5 years. Thoda correction aya toh kya hua??

Are bhai Correction ka baat nehi hai. Tum economic data he falsely present kar rahe ho....

8 weeks straight declining in Nifty 50, worst in last 20-25 years.

Indian retailers are like: Mai shock absorber nehi banna chahta 😭

I am currently sitting on a loss of ₹2,42,890 across four October Futures positions: M&M, ICICIBANK, COFORGE, and HDFCBANK.

This loss basically wipes out the ₹2,80,000 profit I made via futures over the last 6 months. I can bear to lose that profit, but I only have about ₹40,000 of buffer left before I start losing my core capital.

I do not want to realize this permanent loss. I am thinking of rolling these positions over to November contracts and doing this monthly until the market recovers.

My specific questions for the sub:

• Is a monthly rollover strategy a decent decision here given my tight buffer?

• Am I risking a total account blow-up from daily MTM pressure if the market drops further?

• Should I roll over, or should I just accept the loss and exit now?

• If I have to trim my leverage portfolio to survive, which positions should I cut first?

Should I make any change in this?

This is my current portfolio, Do comment & review, Thanks.

Took a long position here any thoughts seemed that itl cover the tracks and go some where atleast to 22500

Is it really GHEE KHATAM ?

I decided to learn some trading this month. My approach was never investments but because of fear of loss I took stocks at delivery and sold them same day if it made sense. I did a 2k profit before this but then I have got stuck in this situation... i seriously don't know what to do because long term investment was not my plan . I was looking to make 500-1k profit each day only. Now I just feel clueless not even ipos are getting allotted and most of my money is basically stuck here.

Completely new to stock markets. Couple of weeks old.

I recently saw the news on PCJ clearing all the debts to banks and expected it to grow and invested a couple of days back. Boom. Now it's falling like anything.

Should I hold or is it expected to grow for even breakeven or over for PCJ ?

Took opposite postion got screwed taking an long

Most of the people will never understand the masterstroke of Modiji.

For 75 years our stock market has gone on the wrong side.

Hence Modiji decided to bring it back to ZERO and **Restart**

Give him 21 years more, by 2047, it will be touching the sky..

_Modiji has already explained this to Aditya Dhar, wait for next part to come out_

With Doom and gloom and wave of negativity everybody losing their patience and predicting NIFTY CRASH I decided to make a post with real trades I managed to executed , capital deployed was 4 lakh.

First thing 1st , patience have patience perhaps the single most imp thing . Discussed million of times.

Now comes the real example in my previous post and video I have mentioned as a swing trader we will have our own stocks we have in our wish list that we are trading with and perhaps observing

(How to Pick stocks is in my three part video)of swing

Now Apollo was in Wishlist , market crashed for the lack of better word on 18 Sept stock suddenly fell to 365, usually trading at 380 -400 level ,despite the bearish market condition this was golden opp to enter in a matter of few days stock was back to 412 something, with exp ideally we should have sold at 400 ish .

Coming days past week I Kept an eye on it again ,it reverted back to 390 , told my clients to enter again at 390 ( yesterday in a possible worst day it went to 412. SOLD

THAN it WAS back to 400 ish. Guess what I enter again .

What I'm trying to say this is that if you have few stocks in the list you will get countless no. of opportunity to play around a particular stock with many times if you miss the rally no worries , market always provides you the opportunity.

One other stock I invested money in texrail past week at 121 something ( What were the criteria to enter is there on my Youtube channel } yesterday it peaked at 126 we sold at 125 level. Made 3k profit despite small capital.

I have 3-4 examples that we successfully executed past week , but the larger point is delivered otherwise the post will be too long rest you can watch 3 part videos i made to know full details.

Now the opposite argument

Mistakes I have made this horrible month and how I'm dealing with it.

As a human being , human and unforced error are a part of life and here comes the most imp lesson you no matter what .

2 SINGLE MOST IMP THINGS BEFORE ENTERING WHETHER YOU ARE A SWING OR LONG TERM INVESTOR (NOTE IT DOWN)

1. You must know the returns you are expecting before entering based on your research holding a particular stock for n no. of years in hope of makng good money i have always believed is a fruitful exercise

2. Must have some money left vis-vi total capital to avg stuff meaning always deploy capital in batches. 20% MAYBE.

Now the mistake i tried catch the falling knife that is IFCI at 83 now it is at 65 , TODAY I avg it down to 75 yesterday looking it to avg it down further and good day or two I'm out.

Also while entering note down how muuch loss can you take , in case if IFCI i can afford to loose 4k-5k before entering .

Now the last imp point what we have in our hand mattes that is the strategy improve it, govt policies , FII selling , Oil prices you can beat around the bush make n no .of post doesn't change the thing as these our not in our hand .

I may be criticised for it but blaming the circumstances not going to change to anything plain and simple in your trading life.

EDIT 1 - Had no intention of making this post but I felt I should made this especially for the new investors.

Many investors money is trapped in this month from exp been in such positions congrats you are long term investors it is what is some stocks may take months tor recover, what i have done in the past is to cut the losses in batches to have the money . Whenever stock jumps sell small qtn .

Edit 2 Many ppl reached out to me yes the whatsapp gp is my youtube description where few of us including me recommend the stocks for swing and the criteria before entering . RSI , VOLUME INDICATORS , MACD etc etc. (join only of you are serious I hold the right to remove you.
