Guides on the behaviour that decides most trading outcomes, and on getting your own data out of your broker so you can check yours.
Riskora is built on one idea: most traders do not lose because they lack a strategy, but because they break the rules they already have. These guides are the practical version of that: how to get your own trading data out of your broker, and what the patterns inside it mean.
Trading behaviour
What the patterns are, how they are measured, and what actually changes them.
- Revenge trading: the trade you take to get it back What revenge trading is, why it happens, how to spot it in your own tradebook using measurable thresholds, and the one…
- Overtrading: how much is too much? No universal number counts as overtrading. Here is how to measure it against your own baseline, what it costs, and how…
- Why most F&O traders lose money SEBI studies show most individual F&O traders lose money. The cause is usually behavioural. Here are the specific pat…
- What happens in the minutes after a loss The gap between closing a loss and opening your next trade is measurable, personal, and usually shorter than you think.
- Position sizing after a loss: the quiet account killer Trading again after a loss is survivable. Trading bigger is what turns a bad day into a bad quarter.
- Why you hold losers longer than winners The most documented pattern in behavioural finance, and the one almost nobody sees without measuring it.
- Why a few days account for most of your losses Trading losses are almost never spread evenly. Finding the handful of sessions that carry yours changes what to work on.
- How to set a daily loss limit you will actually keep Most limits are a round number picked once and abandoned in the first bad session. Here is how to derive one from your own history.
- How to actually build trading discipline Discipline is not willpower or motivation. It is a set of rules you commit to in advance and cannot easily override la…
Analysing your trades
What a tradebook can and cannot tell you, and how to check what a tool does with your file.
- Tradebook analysis: what your trade history actually shows A tradebook records what you traded. Read as a sequence it also shows how you traded, and the five measurements worth taking.
- Trading journal or tradebook analysis? What each one sees A journal records what you meant to do. A tradebook records what you did. They answer different questions.
- How to analyse your trades without uploading them anywhere Your tradebook is close to a financial identity. Here is how to check whether a tool actually sends it, in about a minute.
- Tradebook or P&L statement? Which report you actually need Brokers offer several similar-looking reports and only one has your individual trades with timestamps.
Getting your tradebook
Every broker files it somewhere slightly different, and several offer a similar-looking report that is the wrong one. These are the exact steps.
- How to download your tradebook from Fyers Fyers separates the Order Book from the Trade Book. Only one is a record of what actually executed.
- How to download your tradebook from 5paisa Your 5paisa trade report lives in the back office, not the trading app. Here is where.
- Download your tradebook from Zerodha The exact menu path, which report to pick, and the one people download by mistake.
- Download your tradebook from Upstox The exact menu path, which report to pick, and the one people download by mistake.
- Download your tradebook from Angel One The exact menu path, which report to pick, and the one people download by mistake.
