Taking Risks Without Losing Your Balls in Trading

 When the market hits a new high, shit gets risky as hell. No one ever fucking knows where it’s headed next. But one thing’s for sure: if you don’t make the right fucking decisions while scalping, you're going to be screwed. We all know you can't be right 100% of the time, but to stay in the game long-term, you gotta make the right calls more often than not. That’s the only way to actually make money in this shit.

So, on 28th September, I took two trades. Now, if you’re wondering why I didn’t hold on to them longer, I’ll tell you—I had a plan, and I was sticking to it. Before the market opened, I did my homework. Checked out the VIX index, expected highs and lows, and looked at past market tops. Based on all that research, I set my strategy.

First, I went long in Nifty at 26150 and locked in about 27 points. Then, I went short and grabbed another 46 points. Could I have made more? Maybe. But I wasn’t about to dick around hoping for some extra points. I closed early because I had my shit together and knew what I was doing.

Could I have been wrong? Hell yeah, but I wasn’t sweating it. My stop loss was in place, so even if the market decided to fuck me over, my losses were already defined. That’s how I keep my balls intact in this game.

Moral of the story? Fortune fucking favors the bold. Take risks, but don’t be a pussy. Always define your losses before shit hits the fan. That’s how you stay alive in this market.
