Trader's query on day trading, managing emotions

Dear KPL Sir,

I introduce myself as a fellow junior trader who has been doing swing trading for the last 2-3 years. I track days high and low along with OI and take positions only in index Future. Been a win some and lose some trader and have always kept my size and SL under check hence not blown aways my capital till date.... thankfully. Every expiry brings something new to learn and understand.

I follow your website and articles regularly but not a member of your forum as I do not have much to contribute in this initial journey except to observe as much as possible. 

I am approaching you for small guidance actually. I started day trading around Jan this year and have realised that this involves huge emotional capital which is very difficult for normal human beings like me (not made big losses but no big profits either till now in intra day) and was looking for a system based trade for index and checked the KPL swing system that you have on your website. 

Request you if you can help in understanding if I can start using this indicator in 5 min/15 min time frame for intra day trades. Since you do show this indicator on your website and have been using this since long, can you pl guide me in understanding if I too can follow this system blindly and be profitable. I am looking to follow a system which takes out my emotions and discretion from trades and more importantly be profitable.

Just to let you know, I do not use Amibroker as yet and trade out of the trading terminal only.

Thanks for your guidance and being a helpful trader in the community.

The Ideal Company Doesn’t Pay A Dividend

....You in my view you should never invest in equities for income. You should invest in equities for the greatest total return that you can get. So that’s the growth of the share price plus any income and if you need to spend some money sell some of your holdings, which I know isn’t rational to some people but I assure you is the correct way to do this.

The ideal company doesn’t pay a dividend and if a company can make a 30% return on capital why would you want it to pay you a dividend? You by and large can’t make a 30% return on capital so you want it to retain the earnings and generate that return for you.

10 signs the bubble has already popped

 All the signs of a bubble are there, including:

  1. an IPO mania;
  2. extraordinary valuations and new metrics for valuation;
  3. a huge market concentration in a single sector and a few stocks;
  4. a second tier of stocks that most people haven’t heard of at S&P 500-type market
    capitalizations;
  5. the more fanciful and distant the narrative, it seems the better the stock performs;
  6. outperformance of companies suspected of fraud based on the consensus belief that
    there is no enforcement risk, without which crime pays;
  7. outsized reaction to economically irrelevant stock splits;
  8. increased participation of retail investors, who appear focused on the bestperforming names;
  9. incredible trading volumes in speculative instruments like weekly call options and
    worthless common stock; and
  10. a parabolic ascent toward a top
