Only login to the server if there’s some execution issue with my algos. That’s it.\n\nRest of the time, I am doing things I actually enjoy.\n\nI watch a lot of podcasts. Joe Rogan, Naval, Nikhil Kamath, Mel Robbins are on regular rotation.\n\nRead books that have nothing to do with trading or investing. Mostly history and human behaviour stuff. That’s where the real edge comes from honestly.\n\nShoot YouTube videos or write articles if I find any interesting topic. \n\nSpend hours on SSRN reading research journals and then test interesting hypothesis using AI. Build random tools for problems that don’t even exist, just because I enjoy playing around with AI all day.\n\nHit the gym with my spouse. Swim with my kid once a week. Go on trips with family, with friends, and solo too.\n\nME time is something I take very seriously. I plan it and make sure I get that time alone with myself. \n\nOne thing I have realised over the years is this. \n\nThe time we spend staring at the markets doesn’t necessarily translate into more returns. What matters at the end of the day is did you make money by year end. Doesn’t matter if it came from trading every single day, or just on expiry, or only once a month.\n\nWe are all here to make money. If this also gives you the freedom to pursue what you love, that’s a massive bonus.","author":{"name":"Kirubakaran Rajendran","username":"kirubaakaran","avatarUrl":"https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/2020707550057136128/UxQTfTWE_200x200.jpg"},"createdAt":"Wed May 06 08:44:06 +0000 2026","engagement":{"replies":23,"retweets":9,"likes":211,"views":29035},"quoteTweet":{"id":"2051887151059792137","url":"https://x.com/the_avid_trader/status/2051887151059792137","text":"To all full time traders who trade only on expiry day\n\nWhat do you guys do on rest of days ?","author":{"name":"Vaibhav Anand ੴ","username":"the_avid_trader","avatarUrl":"https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1460297863607377927/wKJ3FTER_200x200.jpg"},"createdAt":"Wed May 06 04:49:53 +0000 2026"},"adhxContext":{"savedByCount":1,"publicTags":[],"previewUrl":"https://adhx.com/kirubaakaran/status/2051946093697732863"}}
