Again in Twitter, RABBIT met TORTOISE & asked, what is my problem ? I always loose money. I followed great mentors. They are making money, but I m not.

Then he said “DONT GO FOR EACH & EVERY STRATEGY, JUST FIND UR WEAKNESS & IMPROVE IT, YOU MAKE SLOW & CONSISTENT MONEY”

RABBIT analysed his trade book on all trades & convinced for non directional option selling.

Note to self:-

1.GIVE ONE LAST ATTEMPT.
2.Start afresh & no thinking to recover LOSSES . (2 Lakh capital)
3.Let’s focus on FUTURE.
4.Let’s make a peaceful trading.
