As someone who has extensively studied Gann's teachings and principles, I want to share my knowledge and understanding of his work while guiding you through a series of lectures and practical rules designed to help you succeed in the markets. Gann's approach goes beyond the basics of technical analysis; it encompasses a deep understanding of market movements influenced by time factors, cycles, and psychological aspects.
In this course, we will explore Gann's life, his notable works, the fundamental principles of his trading methods, and the 24 never-failing rules he outlined for traders. My aim is to ensure that you leave this course empowered with insights and tools to navigate financial markets confidently.
Understanding WD Gann: A Brief Overview
WD Gann was not only a successful trader but a visionary who made significant contributions to market analysis. Having earned around $50 million during his trading career in the stock and commodities markets, Gann was known for predicting significant market movements with impressive accuracy, often years in advance.
Gann's methodologies were rooted in mathematics, astronomy, and astrology, leading him to formulate innovative trading concepts such as the 'Square of Nine' and 'Time Factor'—keys to understanding market timing and price levels. To grasp Gann's teachings comprehensively, it is necessary to appreciate the complexity behind his approach and recognize that initial misunderstandings are common among traders unfamiliar with his methods.
Gann's Influence and Philosophy
One of the fascinating aspects of Gann's life is his connection to various intellectual circles, including his ties to the Freemasonry. His analysis wasn't limited to financial forecasting; he was also known for predicting historical events with incredible precision. For instance, Gann forecasted the abdication of a European monarch and the major downturns in the financial markets, showcasing his exceptional ability to intertwine market behavior with broader historical patterns.
Key Principles of Gann's Trading
Gann devoted a significant part of his life to research, dedicating over 20 years to perfecting his strategies. Here are some foundational principles behind his trading philosophy:
- Understand the Time Factor: Gann stated, "I have found the secret time factor which enables me to find tops and bottoms in the market one year or more in advance." Understanding time in trading is vital, as it helps traders predict market cycles and potential reversals.
- Patience Is Key: Successful trading requires patience and discipline. Rushing into trades or making impulsive decisions often leads to detrimental outcomes.
- Safety in Trading: Gann emphasized the importance of preserving capital as a means of achieving long-term success. This principle underlines the need for risk management and strategic decision-making in trading.
The 24 Never-Failing Rules for Successful Trading
As we progress through this course, the core of Gann's teachings boils down to 24 essential rules that every trader should embody. These rules serve as integrity checks, ensuring all trading activities are conducted wisely and cautiously.
Rule 1: Capital Allocation
- Divide your capital into ten equal parts. Never risk more than one-tenth of your capital on any single trade. This strategy not only protects your account but allows you flexibility in making multiple trades.
Rule 2: Always Use Stop Orders
- Gann strongly advocated for using stop-loss orders to protect your trades. A trader without a stop loss is often too influenced by emotions that lead to larger losses.
Rule 3: Avoid Letting Profits Run Into Loss
- Once profitable, always adjust your stop-loss to at least your entry price. Doing this ensures that gains are secured and not lost due to market reversals.
Rule 4: Be Disciplined in Trading
- Never allow a losing trade to dictate your trading strategy. Establish clear criteria for entering and exiting trades, and stick to them.
Rule 5: Don't Buck the Trend
- Follow the market trend in your trading. Avoid buying or selling against the prevailing direction, as this is likely to lead to losses.
Rule 6: When in Doubt, Get Out
- If you lack confidence in a position or if market conditions become uncertain, it's better to exit and reassess rather than holding on in hope.
Rule 7: Trade Only in Active Stocks
- Investing in active stocks that show regular movements is preferable over stagnant, dead stocks. Liquid stocks allow for efficient entry and exit.
Rule 8: Equal Distribution of Risk
- Identify several stocks to trade simultaneously instead of concentrating on one. This strategy helps mitigate potential significant losses.
Rule 9: Never Limit Your Orders
- Place orders at the market price as opposed to fixating on a specific limit price. This can often result in missing out on opportunities.
Rule 10: Protect Your Profits
- Follow Gann's advice to let profits run while cutting losses. Never exit a trade without a sound rationale.
Rule 11: Accumulate Surplus
- After successful trades, sett aside profits for unexpected needs. This surplus can act as a buffer and help you weather downturns in trading performance.
Rule 12: Avoid Buying solely for Dividends
- Watch carefully regarding dividend payouts since stock prices adjust accordingly. Assess stocks for their fundamentals, not just dividend returns.
Rule 13: Don't Average Losses
- Never average down—this could lead to larger losses. Only average positions when they are profitable, applying discipline in loss scenarios.
Rule 14: Exercise Patience
- Never exit a position because of impatience. Focus on executing your well-thought-out trading plan.
Rule 15: Avoid Small Profits with Big Losses
- Prioritize protecting your capital. Seek substantial profits over small wins, and cut losses quickly—but allow winning trades to run.
Rule 16: Don't Cancel Stop Orders
- Always adhere to your predefined stop-loss orders. They are critical for capital preservation.
Rule 17: Avoid Over-Trading
- Be selective with your trades. High-frequency trading can lead to mistakes and unnecessary losses.
Rule 18: Engage in Short Selling
- Don't shy away from short selling during downtrends. It can provide profitable opportunities when used strategically.
Rule 19: Don't Trade Based on Price Alone
- Avoid making trades simply because prices seem low or high. Always consider fundamental analysis.
Rule 20: Be Cautious with Pyramiding
- Ensure you buy additional shares only after confirming a breakout. Regular monitoring and analysis of market movements are crucial.
Rule 21: Maintain Conviction
- Uphold your strategic rationale. If data indicates a position is no longer sound, be willing to exit before market conditions deteriorate.
Rule 22: Ensure Rational Reasons for Changing Positions
- Adjust your position only when there are sound reasons for doing so, such as reversals indicated on significant charts.
Rule 23: Avoid Increasing Trading Risk
- Productivity is essential; never let success lead to overconfidence or excessive risk. Sometimes, it’s wise to step back.
Rule 24: Evaluate Performance Regularly
- Consistently reflect on your trading journey. Fine-tune your approach based on outcomes and continue learning.
Conclusion

lectures conducted by me to make you understand what is my understanding of the works of wd can
i want to explain i want to clear out some doubts before i move forward what we i will try to put out a video or
two every single week so we can move in a good flow we can understand what's really happening
so i do not want you to stress about it it's taken me a long long time to really understand
one percent of what he has tried to bring to the table i'll give you a very good example a lot
of people ask me how can we start understanding the work again i would say the best way to do so would be to start
it took me 10 readings of the same page on tunnel through the air to give me 10 different perspectives of
gans teachings gans ideologies is not a course it's taken him and i'm going to quote what he said
this is much more above that i'm again going to tell you something why am i stressing is because this is all about
it's going to be an absolute free training why i'm doing this for you is because i believe a lot of people now
in all over the world are i believe you can sell anything in the name of gan if i come to you and say i have a course
of gan i could charge anything for it right because no one really knows what is gan all about
and there are very few people in this world who really know what what his work is all about and
right now gan is like a publicity stunt that is why i want to bring something free to the table so you understand what
request is don't go to the market and buy courses of gan because i would say they're all fars
over his trading career in the stocks in the commodities market before he died in 1955 1956
it would be a really good sum to get milk in your glass and and uh bread in your plate much more
than that let me show you that so you have to understand that gan he was a member of the 33rd degree
freemasonry if you don't know that i want you all to search about it why am i saying it again
is because i know for a fact going forward today today's about simple things today is about some rules that
you need to follow over this journey but as i keep going further on with the squares and the
really really difficult and it's going to go above your high above your minds so it's it's okay
if you don't understand them in one go because i didn't i'm telling you right now i didn't there
why do you really want to do it but when when those times happen i have done things for the community for
the markets that i'm really proud of which i'll bring to the table my best example could
let me tell you a little bit about him said him gann was a member of the 33rd degree freemasonry
and uh in the 33rd degree if that's the highest accolade that you could have got back in those times
it started from the i would say seventh eighth degree actually and uh in the 33rd degree it was a
imagine who were inducted as members at that point of time and gann was one of them so you have to
i also expect you to watch these videos again and again and again because every time that you watch these
videos you'll have a different perspective so i'm gonna make a playlist and you can
of that time factor so there have been people who've been very very close to what gan did
by the way gan uh he's always mentioned that he was very he was very fascinated with india
and egypt and a lot of his learnings have been done from these two countries which makes me think i live in india but
i still have not got so close to what he said maybe in the future who knows god is always kind you have to accept
different names all the squares that he has brought to the table have to have actually so he learned a
the square of nine if you actually look it from the top right it's actually looks like a pyramid
introduce before i start moving forward with those complicated things in 1954 gann came out with a commodities
and at that point of time in 1954 that's one year before his death he or he still he still it's all it's
all documented he said that i spent twenty thousand dollars in one year before his death on
his plate that's the man i'm talking about in 1954 the commodities master course it
it will be probably about fifty thousand two hundred thousand dollars that is one single commodities master course
word or phrase from me throughout my videos if you watch them gan was all about safety in the market
yes there was a fair share of enjoyment that you get when you find a top or a bottom in the market
but it's not betting everything on that top and bottom which i'll discuss about over this over this video in the later
part of this video it's not always about finding out the top and the bottom it was about safety in the market as i've
been saying it's about you being safe it's about you being able to sleep in the night
that's what gan wanted to prove through what he had done always remember you have to have
attention to detail going forward or right now if you're in the markets i use that term on my
you read on my telegram channel or a lot of things that you see on my youtube videos are actually
majority of the times from his readings a lot of people ask me devon what do you gain out of gan
and uh you know i as i said couple of times before it was it is a stressful job and even now
because i i i want to be i'm still i'm not even i'm not even five percent there i'm not
in this markets i would say in india because i'm not very aware of the global markets i know people in australia are
two three people in this country who talk about the time factor and through this video i will try to connect
with them in the future you will see that happening but the very handful of people who talk about the
would say i gain a sense of fulfillment i gain a sense of fulfillment because i get a road map
going forward i know what's really going to happen forward when i i'm implementing what i've learned from
imagine the last 10 days what you've been reading on my youtube channel that markets are going
it's all in front of you you all must be aware of that that's why you're already here
when i found the 21st december major top no one could have done that i found that one month in advance i've
had a sense of fulfillment i had a sense of fulfillment i found the 31st august stop of the indian financial
market that was a major top i found the 24th september minor uh the the mine the major low of the indian
market back in that autumn season i have done it i have done my fair share i found the minor highs
of uh of september 15 september 2020 i have done my major share of uh work for the community and i have surely
benefited out of them that's why you're here watching this channel that's why i'm at 13 500 subscribers
right now because of those findings that i've done so sense of fulfillment is something i i
before we move on to the actual training yes it's going to get today it must be a little bit boring but
i hope why am i bringing this out to the table again and again is because you have to understand
you can't really understand the work that you bring to the table so you have to understand in detail who
he passed away sadly in 1955 and as i said earlier he pulled in excess of 50 million dollars
markets but let me tell you something i'm going to read that read something out to you also
is predictions were not always with regards to the stock markets but not always with regard to the financial
someone saying you know this person's got the top and bottom it's fine it's really lovely but when
when a person can actually forecast or foretell what's going to happen outside the financial
the book that he's written and uh he was he was known he was known he predicted to the day
and he did that six months in advance that was absolutely stunning if you read about that no one could have
one of the beautiful things that you might have heard these are some uncommon things but couple of beautiful
an sec reporter sit beside him so they were locked in a house and one of the sec reporters he sat
beside him for 30 days i believe about 27 28 trading days and gan would do trading in front of him
and this has been documented let me tell you you can always go on google and search about that
or you can read about uh this in journals given 100 years back and in 1909 he died in 1955 in 1909 a
because at that point of time was getting so much attention and wall street the new yorker everyone
that i take out of this is in this 28 days he took about 286 rates or 296 trades roughly about that
figure he got a 92.5 percent accuracy and he would how would he make a profit he would throw he would take a trade in
16 moves 16 moves he would trade eight of them major highs and major lows he knew what was happening
right now when we're looking at the chart how do we think we think that you know a breakout has happened
now the left hand has left hand side has said breakout has happened so the right hand side means this will
is believed to know what was that left-hand side of the market that's how i can explain this to you he
knew what was happening he knew what was the cause and he always he always fell back on the bible for
every single time he always said he always fell back on the bible so he was a very good at maths
same with david bowden a 1987 australian trader who is also very good at math so i believe maths is
something that could really get you a step forward so what i'm saying is he knew what was
that is something that i wanted to add so before we move forward with this actual training that i'm about to impart
this a lot over the course of time there's a book written in 1927 i'm repeating myself because
when i read this book it took me a long long time to understand but when i read this book i had to
when was this book actually written because of the beautiful foretelling gann has actually done
and i'm going to read out something for you something very very beautiful because when i was reading this book
book was written in 1927. page 82 page 82 what did he say let's let's read about that
which uh yep it's over here read this part over here with me it shows that the wars are not yet over
pass through a very evil period between 1926 and 1932. it's very very exact if you know what
really happened at that point of time exact he didn't mention 1950s he didn't mention 1960s
he had that range laid out to him and the book was written in 1927. he said that it also confirms that both
the major and minor cycles indicate that years 1928 and 1930 to 1932 will be years of famine
in the united states 1940 to 1944 to the exact date you all know the world war ii that happened
and the book was written in 1927. if you think i'm repeating myself yes i am because you have to understand the
i'm going to read if you think this was not very interesting i'm going to read something else for you
number 278 tunnel through the air this is something that absolutely blowed my mind absolutely
as soon as the battleships cruised to the pacific japan attacked from the air with the noiseless airplanes and began
dropping deadly bombs from great heights the anti-aircraft guns were powerless to reach the bombing planes
at such great heights defeat was swift and only a few of the battleships come escaped complete destruction from the
accomplished so i hope i've got your attention before we move forward i hope i've got
your attention if you're enjoying this master course if you're enjoying uh what you're about to entail
let me know in the comments the more the comments the more the likes the more uh i would say motivated i am
to bring more content like this to the table i want to go really deep i want to go really deep with all of you
but i would love to see if you can show me some love on youtube because that's going to help
my video reach a lot of people i want to introduce the time factor to people whatever i understand
whatever i have understand i want to introduce the time factor to the people and that can be only achieved if i get
share it as much as possible so today today is all about the 24 rules that i am concerned about
rules that you need to follow this was written by gan uh in 1949 uh in one of his last books
six years before he died i already covered a couple of points with you in one of my videos also because when
i'm trading these rules are something that are very very important but over the course as i said it's not
about finding tops and bottoms but it is about finding safety in the market so these are some rules that you
need to fall back on and you will see over the course when i read these rules when i explain these
rules you have to note them down and you can't forget them because everything i discuss
let's start with the first rule he said that the amount of capital let me zoom it in for you rule
number one he said the amount of capital to use he said divide your capital into 10 equal parts
and never risk more than one tenth of your capital on any trade very important the biggest problem that
i see right now in the markets in india or with the community that i'm handling right now
when their idea goes wrong they have nothing left i'll give you a very good example right now
everyone wants to go short why because the markets are at highs everyone starts shorting shorting shorting shorting and
when the actual shot happens no one has the money to back it up and everyone says kr we thought markets
will come down but they never but they never did when we had the money and when they actually came down we had
it's all about you surviving that's what gan said gan said if you have a one lakh account i'm assuming let's say you have
you could low up your account but when you put 10 different uh 10 trades 10 amounts it's very
difficult to blow up your account because something or the other it's going to work out for you
and that is what's going to create a difference if you are still skeptical about it you could
yes you would earn less profits but it's not about earning money right now it's about you understanding the market
percent of your capital on a trade it would take 20 trades to blow up your account if you risk two and a half
never ever put your entire trading account at risk no matter how bullish how bearish you are no matter who tells
please he said always use stop loss order this is about 60 years back at that point of time he used stop loss
identified hundred rupees and they have a stop loss below the support they always believe that
if they if they don't have a stop loss they always believe that the markets are going to come down
hate their stops hundred stops and then they go up they always believe that gods will always turn the trades according in
their favor always remember as you sow so shall you reap god helps those who have themselves
always have stop loss orders in focus if you don't have a stop loss means you're being egoistic about a
trade and markets will punch you hard and it will make you bleed is what i'm trying to bring to the table
he said always protect a trade when you make it with a stop loss order three to five points away
and this is being backed away by the point number four which i've been telling you again and again
into a loss example so i'm gonna he said that after you are in a profit of three points or
said that i'm in a loss on kotec because the premiums have decayed and if and i've already explained these
rules to you i i've always said let's say you bought kotec at a premium of 63 rupees
and if kotak moves to 70 rupees if kotak moves three bucks away from your cost you at least get yourself
if ghana had 92.5 accuracy it meant that he never hit a stop he hit a trailing sl he never made a loss that way i hope
we moved till 1723 trail sales keep on trailing sl so that even if the trade comes down you
make a small profit but you don't make a loss people are egoistic about that and they always wait
and wait and wait and they say that you know markets are going to give a great move today and that never happens
that never never happens so never let a prophet run to a loss he also said something very very
important he said never over trade that's beautifully said i'll explain two cases here
what i have understood over the years how about is over trading he said this will be violating the capital
yes it will be because we can't use more than five ten percent of a capital on a particular trade
so what is what is over trading over trading can have two meanings number one could be if if you have a one
because you're so egoistic about a position you actually make a big loss you think you make a big profit but
having everything in the markets that's also over trading you have a one lakh capital and at the same time right
now at 9 20 am in the indian market time 20 trades are open you put 5000 in a trade and 20 trades are open
even that is over trading so gan said never ever over trade you should know when to stop you have to
so i would always suggest you going forward always have some surplus cash lying around the account
because we need to pyramid trades like i did today with banco broda i paramount some trades so you always
have to have something in your account for the rainy days you can't over trade because the position size is
too much for us to handle and that makes us wonder so much how to pay how we always look at the sgx nifty
if you're overstressed in the markets i would suggest you reduce your over trading that can all
probably help you out i hope you're understanding that then further on rule number five he said do
not buck the trend what does that mean he said never buy or sell if you're not sure of the trend
according to your charts absolutely beautiful he said what does this mean let me explain it to you very
let's say the chart is in a primary downtrend this is also something what jesse livermore said
there's also something that dao said in his tenants which is known as the dow theory they're all linked they're all
and it's up to us whether we want to follow those ideas or not so what does this mean do not buck the
trend gan said that never buy or sell if you're not sure of the trend a lot of people what time what happens
is we read the news and a beautiful piece of news comes in and we buy the news why because we expect that the news
is going to change the trend always always understand this the news cannot change your trend
let's say the trend is in a primary downtrend making lower swing tops making lower swing lows
and we expect a big profit that has reported is going to change the trend let me ask you something very very
honestly do you think the management of a company is going to come to the newspaper is going to come to the tv
the management coming on cnbc or coming on economic times et markets and telling that the company
something which you are getting stuck in accumulation and distribution what you think is good is actually bad
news and what you think is bad news is actually good news so what gan has been saying is if the
market is in a primary downtrend if the market is going down don't buy keep short and if the market is going up
that is what he said just don't change the position of the market accordingly because of the news has come
out that's what he's actually trying to bring to the table i hope you're understanding the point
that i'm trying to explain number six he said when in doubt get out and don't get in when in doubt haven't
more so gan said that whenever you're in doubt whenever you're not sure about what's
happening today i got this message and i was so happy to read this on instagram and let me know in the comments if you
were the person who sent this message and this person said i don't remember his name he said that i was in a 600
loss on a nifty nifty bank trade and i was in doubt and he said as you said when in doubt get
out i exited at 600 rupees loss i didn't want to have sleepless nights absolutely beautiful and i'm happy to
see people are following these standards that we're bringing to you guys these are long lost principles that you
you know what you are doing whenever you're in doubt get out that's what david bowden said a very
better to be out of the markets wishing that you were in than being in the markets wishing you
because then only you can make the money rule number seven a long list of tools but i hope you're
rule number seven he said trade only in active stocks keep out of slow and dead ones powerful
statement something we don't realize i i see a lot of people i've talked to more than thousand people in the last
couple of months thanks to the community that we have built now thanks to support of you guys but um i i
see a lot of people so much interested in small caps small not small caps i would say so much interested in
who term would be a turnaround story would give would be a multi-bagger no one realizes that when you when you
trade in penny stocks it's a one out of 100 chance which can turn into a multibacker so you
have to be invested in 100 stocks and and put allocate the capital accordingly so that when that one
company goes into a multibagger you're actually in that position so what i'm trying to say
that's what jesse livermore said jesse livermore also said the same thing in his book reminiscent of the stock
and the last eighth of the move one eighth of the move very powerful what we do is as individuals as retail
it's not moving nothing no trigger about it no catalyst about it we just get an idea here this could be a
multibagger and we put money there it's still a dead stock it's still not moving we just want to be
at the bottom find the bottom and be the first people to take advantage and jesse levermore said that
it's better for you to rather than finding the bottom let the stock actually become an active
stock from a dead stock let it move five six percent then get into the stock so that you know that
it's surely gonna move now that's a much better way rather than finding bottoms and tops
i hope you're understanding what i'm telling you guys don't keep on finding bottoms and bottoms and bottoms but try
to let the stock first become an active stock then get into it because when the stock moves five
percent and your idea is right it could again move 50 60 100 it could still move winners remains
the eighth rule that he discussed was equal distribution of risk this is something very similar to the
avoid tying up all your capital in a stock this is something i see a lot of time problems with retailers who have
you see so much money on everyone every that everyone's earning everywhere that small account people want to put
everything in a particular trade first of all you follow that rule i've taught you one tenth of capital second
of all equal distribution of risk understand this rule the only trade in four or five stocks if
you're trading intraday four or five was max you can't have four or five trades more
than that in a day even if you if you're trading in a lexus swing if you have a one lakh capital
don't trade 20 stocks also that's too bad but trade in four or five stocks and take it very very slowly because
it's all about diversification you can't have everything in the market you can't have everything
at one point time in the market you need a surplus which i'll come to later so be careful with that if you have a
small account be patient markets will surely deliver if you're patient along this journey you
the ninth rule that he said is never limit your orders or fix a buying or buying or a selling
price always trade the market now this is again something that could be rebutted everyone has a different
style but i'm going to talk about what gans are 50 years back 60 years back he said always trade at the market price
see this has some twitches that could be done it read it requires some more understanding of the markets
so for example let's say your stock is trading 100 rupees and you you fix some fix a limit price here
98. what you want is you saying here two rupees expensive i can't remember but i will only buy 98
and the stock rushes along and you miss your opportunity that's what gan said gan said always trade the market order
always take the market order but that does not mean if if the ma if yesterday's price is 100
limited applicability i would say that's the applicability but you can always twitch it according to
your understanding so that's what he said always check the market never miss an opportunity for one two
rupees or according to your uh the asset that you're trading never miss an opportunity for one rupee or one
percent but be in the trade because if you're in the right trade it can give you a great
something very important which i which i will explain with regards to the current market example he said don't close your
trades without a good reason follow up with the stop loss and protect your profits combine that with rule
but let your winners run don't close your trades without a good reason a lot of people have been messaging me
and they're saying can we exit this company can we exit that company i as i always said give me one good
reason for that for people who are going short in the market give me one good reason for that
are you understanding what i'm saying if you want to exit a trade let's say you bought reliance
at 2 000 it went up till 2200 whatever the price 21 70 20 180. a lot of people say yeah we've got about
10 what to do now can we exit i'm saying yeah the moves just happened give me one good reason why to exit
if you have a reason good but if you don't have a reason trail the sl and hit a stop loss hater trailing stop
intraday trade also intraday trade for reliance i i would say in the last two days reliance moved one
percent a lot of people booked profits and moved in the last one month it's move one percent will find
a lot of people pay attention to their pnl accounts okay i've got 10 000 5000 rupees profit i'm done
but remember if a trade you have to focus not on the amount you're earning but on that trade idea and for example
reliance we've been telling you again again the breakout has just happened it's going to go up and up and up and up
that's what gan said so the 10 rules i have done till now they're important why because
and these are the basic tenets because when i teach you further things the more complicated ones
we will have to execute some certain plans and when we do that these are the things which will help you
be focused and help you protect your capital because we will be wrong that's why we have stops
11. accumulator surplus that is what i have i'm doing that's what i've been doing for the last
one year thanks to gan and it's been really helping me a lot gan said that after you made a series of
what i have done is my main account is icici bank i opened another account in uh au bank whatever i earned from
options whatever i earned from equity this is a surplus amount i always withdrew it and put it in my au bank
account my main bank is ici bank but i kept on creating a surplus and that kept on growing growing growing
that's required for two things number one any rainy days in my personal life because when my money is in a portfolio
when my money is in the options account i'm not going to withdraw it you know if the rainy days come because
i'll be greedy at that time but if i have some surplus account that will be helpful point number two
you can always fund your account again so when the account let's say you make a loss you always have some money to fund
and in those surplus accounts different modes of investments are going i do have some rds i do have some mutual
funds i do have some ncds i do have some nsa saying certificates it's all going i have surplus accounts
that's what i'm trying to bring to the table number 12 never buy just to get dividend
not very applicable in the indian market scenario but it is still applicable there are some countries which is that
that's more applicable to again that's a 50 year gold concept but still never just come in to buy the
a lot of people don't understand when the dividend is announced or when the dividend is
released to your public the share price will also come down that much if if hp's if vpcl is distributing a 50
rupee dividend 50 rupees dividend the share price will also voluntarily rupees because that no longer is the
rupee on the dividend but 10 rupees loss in the share price so if you're just coming in for the
how i can put it number 13 never ever average a loss i think that's a very good advice i've
worst mistakes a trader can make that's written in 1949 i believe it's very very important why i
i believe back in 2020 we bought snowman at 60 rupees it made a high of 75 with a matter of
two days i remember that exact day the trade had been given to everyone on youtube or or on discord or whatever
whatever that community was i didn't have telegram at that point of time now the biggest problem i made was i
you average why so that the price comes to nine and you can exit break even that's what the thinking goes into your
mind here we will actually break even we always this is what jesse livermore again said i want to again uh
rebut i again want to introduce what he said i love to read always keep on reading people ask me where have you
i don't do extraordinary things i do ordinary things extraordinarily well because i've learned from the experience
most of the people when the trade goes against them they're hopeful that the trade will the
trade will turn into their favor but when the trade goes in their favor they want to cut profits fast
because they are fearful that the trade will go against them and that is the psychology that you have
why are you being faithful i get so many times reliance moved in the direction right when we give the trade i got so
got you in nifty i got so many people what's the target of nifty it's already gone up 600 points
700 points actually and i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you something very simple in a bull market
there is no resistance in a beer market there is no support remember that so please have your
and when you're in a profit trail the position but don't cut it let the profits run that is what
gan said don't average losses averaging should be done when the parade is in profit so what we're doing with
bank of road are the psu banks what we're doing with companies other than that have you heard divang mehra
averaging naukri.com not yet nakri so people ask me what to do with nokri.com you were so bullish i'm still
never close a trade without a reason i don't have reason it's gone down two three percent i'm still bullish
if you're scared if you're in doubt get out but i'm not in doubt right now i hope you're trying to see how i'm
psychology right losses go further down if if a share starts to move down something is wrong
it will keep on going down be fearful but if a trade goes in profit it will keep on going up think like that
change your psyche change your forte when you come to the markets the 14th rule that he said i want to
let me know if you're finding it useful by the way rule number 14 he said never get out of
the market just because you have lost patience and never get in them or you're anxious from
repeat what david bowden said in 1987 he said that don't you should it's better to be out
and to be in rather than being in wishing you were out just what i said a couple of points back
when they come join our course at tfa everyone i tell them everyone everything i say you're not going to learn
technicals from me but i want to learn i want you to learn one thing from me and that is patience
let me know if you learned that already if you're in a bold project if you're in the architect program let me know if
that is something i tell you often i always tell people i will never ever teach you technicals
people become very uh very nauseous or they become very impatient you know why that happens because they violate
the other rules because they have everything in this trade and now everything is stuck in a
trade when it is a loss they think to themselves why shouldn't i take out the money here and put
everything again in another trade so think why am i not panicking because i only have a small chunk of my capital
check that you have to reduce your size so what i'm trying to say is you have to be patient
as i said learn patience from me how i sit into losses i don't average losses or when they turn into profits that's
when i become active that's when i become active learn that from me so don't be impatient
at the same time don't be anxious again this is something very powerful that gan has told you if you read his
books very very closely very minutely this is something that he's also talked about he said that there are three
which means that out of 360 days four times the move will happen meaning you will have to be patient and
you have to wait for that move so you have to have that basic tenant of waiting of pay i always say
money is made by waiting and not by trading wait for those days think about nifty right now
three months nifty consolidated and now the move happened and now people are not there in the trade
i'm very it's very sad to say for me to bring it up but now people are not there in the trade when they have to be in the
go with the flow right now go with the flow right now so every three to four months i would
stocks i'll talk about that you have to wait for my video on seasonal changes and stocks you will be
that's the point number 14. number 15 avoid taking small profits and big losses very i've already talked about
that in detail let's not get into that never cut profits fast never cut but cut losses fast
why do you have that thinking in your mind that when the when the markets are going against you it's gonna turn
it's gonna turn it's not gonna turn if the market goes against you exit come exit fast
accept it that's the biggest biggest and the most difficult thing that you could do in the market
come in the market always think like this i'm a servant of the market i'm a slave to the market
crude words blunt words but true you can't outperform the markets hundred percent time scan couldn't do that
you did 92.5 you have to accept that you're a slave to the markets and you have to position yourself well so
never cancel a stop order once you've placed it absolutely beautifully said why a lot of people i always i always
say this in my course when you do that that when you place let's say the moment you place an order
so when you place that order you must have decided two things number one what is the time period of holding if
have said i'm going to buy i click buy on bangkok or i buy by the way this rule never put your money in one
is what i'm actually doing because i want you to be safe it's about safety in the market
putting glass putting milk in your class and bread on your table i do i always tell people if you come to
me i'm not going to give you through my course 100 returns i'm never going to tell you that
i can give you 10 return when i can't give you 100 return that's something i always said people so
going forward he said that never cancel a stopwater if you enter a trade when i entered the trade trading psu
banks i decided that divang mehra what's your goal i said my goal is i want to make the psu bank the next metal
which means that i'm going to sit in the psu banks for a long period of time which means that i am not interrupting
not be will not scare me and i will use them to buy more so once i've decided that you can't
because when you purchase you also had to stop in mind let's say when i purchased bangkok road
but let's say that 50 is a stop loss now unless until that sl is being triggered you can't exit now if bank overrun
touches 50 you exit you accept the loss you accept that the idea was wrong but you can't keep like you can't say
here 50 again let's move to 40. it's over to 30. you can't do that that's what people do in the index
we we have a sl at a particular point when it is triggered we don't accept the loss we say let's put it a little bit
more down 10 percent more down and then it keeps going down and down and down and down that's what gan said
point number 17 he said avoid getting in and out of the market too often i think it's it's valid it's valid
people do a lot of trades people do a lot of overtrading i always i'll give you an example what
happens markets are going in your favor you become bullish when you see a five-minute shooting star
you sell earn money for that 5-10 minutes then again you become bullish you're being too intricate you're being
too intricate rather than that can't you just sit in a position for a long period of time
so rather than trading in and out in and out on and on and off try to be if you if even if you're a
scale knowledge you can't have you can't keep trading every single move because even if the even if one
you can wipe out your profits made for that day or for that week so you have to be very very disciplined
is the word i can use here always be disciplined and if you see what himalaya does what i do
we don't trade we don't a lot of days we don't trade when we don't understand the market
that's what gans are i'll show you that he said that when you don't understand the market don't trade
point number 18 he said be as much as willing to sell short as you are to buy objectives to
make money and go with the trend again that's something that people understand when the markets are going up
we have to be a buyer right we're going with the trend but when the markets were coming down in the last couple of months
you know you can't just bug the trend you can't go against the trend you have to go with the flow
and you can't keep over trading and buying every small rally that's happening because
if the major trend is down that's what dao said that's what jesse liver also said if the trend is down be with the
trend go short a lot of people understand that people who are investors they don't understand
that because we have the habit only of buying when i started the markets about six years back
i give an idea of short to them they say we can't short because we be very uncomfortable
we're not comfortable with the idea of share going down that is something which can be a big hurdle going forward
right now we're in a bull market imagine when a beer market starts because when the beer market starts
maybe let's say five years down the line cycles change then markets are going down and down and
you're making a big loss so you have to be comfort if you trader if you are a trader intraday swing
whatever long term you have to understand that you have to be as much comfortable as you are a
profit when the market comes down so you have to be comfortable with that idea our main idea is to make money
whatever direction that does not matter hopefully that point is also clear point number 19 never buy just because a
nifty right now every day when you comment on my video that nifty is at 15 600 can i short why
because i'm selling short as i say as gan said what is that reason that you are doing why are you
entering a trade give me a reason and the reason is i'm selling short just because price is high
i've told you one thing again and again laggards remain laggards cheap remains cheap expensive remains
the more profitable you will be so don't if if nifty has broken out you have to understand if nifty has broken out
it's going to go up and up and up you average the losses you average the tips that come in but you don't short
just because the markets are at highs i hope you're understanding that one point i think which i i have missed
about uh the averaging a loss which just came to my mind he said never uh i think it will still
be discussed fine yeah it's the point number 20. i thought i missed something i have so many points to discuss so i
always think i'm over the place point number 20 be careful about pyramiding at the wrong time
very very important for an investor very very important it's not for it's also for the internet trader see
pyramiding averaging a loss averaging is is very similar terms piramiding basically means if you bought a stock at
more shares there why you wanna you you are very bullish and at the same time you never put
everything in one go what gan said at one point of time you can't put everything in the same basket so he said
so gan said be very careful about pyramiding at the wrong time he said wait until the stock is active
we bought it here when the markets are moving towards resistance we buy it over here why because we want to be the first
person to catch the move what did i tell you about jesse livermore most people lose their money
in the first eighth of the move or the last eighth of the move understand that if you're still below
resistance you will still still see panic and selling pressure coming in but the moment you break the
resistance like nifty has it will go up and up and up and up and that is when you can pyramid
if you're a long-term investor wait for a breakout to happen then pyramid rather than buying a loss
averaging a loss hoping that you will come cost to cause that is the poor approach i'm not saying
it's wrong again in markets nothing is wrong it's about how you trade how you manage your risk it's always
i never parameter psu banks at bottom i never will buy nokia.com right now but when nakri breaks out
that is when i will start to pyramid are you understanding what i'm saying same with nifty now when nifty starts to
fall it will fall one day i've told you because the vix is too low when the nifty starts to fall i will
hope you're understanding 0.21 is something i don't want to get into it's again a little bit complicated
point but something which is not very uh i would say useful for an intraday ground level trader grassroot level
trader 22 number point is never h now this is something uh i do you always a lot of people ask me diwali how do you
have so much conviction have you ever asked that question to me let me know in the comments i get this
that's the most frequent question asked people tell me i wanna i wanna join your course for two things
through covet and conviction is something i've learned through gan gan taught me never hedging
to never never hedge so i'm not saying option selling hedging is wrong i'm not saying option buying
hedging families are wrong i'm nowhere saying that please everyone has a different style but i
have learnt that i made the most money when i don't hedge when i hedge i don't have a view i am
indifferent where the markets go and i'm not able to earn the optimum amount if you don't want to hedge
position sizing has to be important so you don't wipe out your account please understand that when i'm playing
that when i get a loss i don't wipe off my account so don't don't try don't unlink the
other rules what what he means by never had is let's say you're long on a stroke and if it starts to go down
that does not mean you short sell another stock what he is saying is let's say you were
long in mahindra and mahindra and mahindra starts to come down that does not mean you are still long in
mahindra and you go short in iso motors same sector because that's coming down if you want to go short in aisha motor
he says that exit loss accept loss don't average loss except you're wrong and then you can
so again it's it's up to you what you want to do on this approach if you're an option seller you hedge you
aggressively buying naked calls and puts tomorrow that's all my concern but if even if you
do nothing wrong with it right i don't know what why people say it's wrong it's
nothing wrong with it if you know what you're doing and if you're positioned well you know
imagine if you only have 10 percent of your capital in a trade naked trade what's wrong in that
i've taken i think the last couple of days every single day i've taken naked bank nifty calls i've not been
lost for the last five six days what's wrong in that if and if you can see i'm putting only
100 quantities which is four lots and i'm actually very very low on the quantity even if i
take a loss it's not going to be a big amount for me because of my capital now my capital my
risk is different as compared to you so you have to manage that for yourself so when you go naked make sure
everything is not in that date that is something what i'm trying to explain and 23 something we already
discussed never change a position without a good reason what's a good reason good reason could
when you make a trade let it be for a good reason what i've been explaining again and again
if you're long or nifty fine if you're short why give me the reason and he always says what's the definite
most of the trends change with double tops and double bottoms triple tops and triple bottoms
what what i mean by that over balance of price and time we'll get into all of these things
but it's important for you to understand the trade when the trend changes when you get a double top double bottom on
don't keep changing the stance just because one day the train goes down or two days the trade goes down you can
last rule but i do that i always recommend that to all of my bold clients all of my architect clients what this
rule means is let's say for the last 10 days or let's say you had a five five lakh trading account
and this week you want three lakh rupees that's an abnormal profit for you you want about what sixty percent of your
capital that's a very abnormal profit i would i would always assume a good normal profit is a ten percent a month
alternative sources of investment if i can do that i'm successful if i can't i'm not successful
so what i'm trying to say is if you make an abnormal return if you have an increase if you are
increasing if you are in a long period of success every day successful i always tell this to people i remember
this words i told people and after the big loss because when you make a big big profit number one your account keeps on
and we'll be right tomorrow also in that point of time make a surplus account put your um put your amount and put it
in the surplus account so your account does not become overpositioned try to understand when you start with
because we are not we everything we become too optimistic we become too overconfident that is something you
don't want so once if you earn big if you want abnormal two things make a selfless account
put your money there number two avoid trading for a couple of days get your mindset right be again
neutral in the market then get back to your trading and this way as i said it's all about safety in the
year after year after year those are the 24 rules that i want to talk about of gann that was the introductory session
come next we will try to get it up a notch and with every single day we'll try to increase
the level of understanding that is required so that's about it for now i hope you enjoyed
