Thanks for sharing your precious views Krishna.
Your mistakes would definitely be the stepping stones for the youngsters who are novice to trading.

I wish you all the best for your future endeavors.

Sadanand.

11) I also did not know there existed formalized techniques of decision making (FA, TA) and that there could actually be programs (which you can backtest with systems).

Hi,

It is very true to my trading days, which I started at the time of Sensex is 21K and I lost considerable amount. But after joining this forum I am learned so many intricacies of trading. And now I find that I am reducing my loss I made in those days.

I like one of the posting by a Senior member about "Fools Theory"

Still i am learning by bits. But I find one thing If I work hard spending time in understanding share movements and fundamentals I can really win this market. There is no short cut.

Happy Trading

Warm Regards
Satheesh

My mistakes are greediness and lack of patience.They say a wise man learns from his mistakes. A wiser man learns from other people’s mistakes. Learn from my mistakes and from those of others.

to avoid mistakes one's got to train the mind...emotional problems trigger mental instability which leads to financial mistakes and makes u worse...
attitude,discipline and hard work are very important for success...
and ya one needs to chill out frm time to time and enjoy too!
