  • Reached 10k+ followers at peak on Instagram
  • Shut down because of slower than expected growth. Had to move on towards better opportunities.
  • Major learning from a 19 year old me who started trading the markets. It's a game of capital. It only makes sense to invest a lot of time doing intraday trading or full time options selling if you have a capital upwards of 20L+ atleast and a separate corpus of 12-15 months expenses. Otherwise stick to weekly charts / invest in mutual funds. Do better professionally and have a handsome income. You can always take a shot at the market again. Although, I have experienced that compounding your job life and stock market portfolio can be very easily done together by positional trading on weekly / monthly charts.
