Always remember one thing when working in share market, that it has to be considered as your secondary income source.

Look at share market as part time income.

While working in share market does not use your entire amounts for intraday trading. Make good allocation of your amounts, use 80:20 formula. Means if I have Rs.1 lakh so 80,000 (i.e 80%) I will use for delivery-based investment & remaining 20,000/-(i. e. 20%) I will use for trading. Always control your losses, always trade with strict stop losses or else please do not trade, even while doing investment we can earn good returns.

So, we can do 80% investments & 20% trading.

There are 2 types of people working in share market.

1. First is investor who does Investments.
2. Second is trader who does Trading.

The most important thing in share market is that it runs on emotions, so here we have to control our emotions. If you have earned profit do not be happy & in emotions you do not have to trade more or if you have incurred losses do not be sad.
