What is tax loss harvesting ?

  What is tax loss harvesting? Tax-loss harvesting is a practice of selling a security that has incurred a loss to help investors reduce or offset taxes on any capital gains income subject to taxation. This practice is accomplished by harvesting the loss. Example scenario 1.     If an individual earns ₹1 lakh in Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) this year, they must pay 15% of this amount as taxes, which amounts to ₹15,000. 2.     Additionally, if the individual holds stocks with an unrealized loss of ₹60,000, they can sell these stocks to reduce their net STCG to ₹40,000. This would require paying 15% of ₹40,000, which amounts to ₹6,000 in taxes, resulting in a tax savings of ₹9,000. 3.     This process of selling stocks to harvest losses and save on taxes is known as tax-loss harvesting.

How to control risk physiology?

  KILL FOMO How to control risk physiology? Rule 1: Always Use a Trading Plan A trading plan is a set of rules that specifies a trader's entry, exit, and  money management criteria for every trade.   With today's technology, test a trading idea before risking real money. Known as back  testing this  practice allows you to apply your trading idea using historical data and determine if it is viable. Once a plan has been developed and back testing shows good results, the plan can be used in real trading. The key here is to stick to the plan. Taking trades outside of the trading plan, even if they turn out to be winners, is considered poor strategy.   Rule 2: Treat Trading Like a Business To be successful, you must approach trading as a full or part-time business, not as a hobby or a job.
