Zerodha CEO and co-founder Nithin Kamath has advised investors to step back from trading during the upcoming shortened trading weeks. In a post on X, Kamath pointed to increased market volatility and stressed the need for mental clarity and preparation to trade profitably.
Nithin Kamath's adviceKamath pointed out that over the next 10 days, there are only four trading days due to stock market holidays for Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti and Good Friday. He suggested that investors use this period to recharge and avoid trading in "potentially debilitating conditions." Kamath wrote, "Judging by what’s happening, you’re going to need it."
Drawing from Zerodha Varsity, the company's investor education platform, Kamath shared insights on trading psychology . He emphasised that successful trading requires monitoring both market moods and personal psychological states. "When either one is not conducive to trading, it’s best to stand aside and wait for the situation to change," he quoted.
Kamath also warned against the mistake of trading during unfavourable conditions, stating, "By staying out of the markets, you can survive to trade another day, when you’re in a peak performance mental state and the market conditions are optimal."

"Trading profitably requires that you monitor the market moods and your psychological moods. When either one is not conducive to trading, it’s best to stand aside and wait for the situation to change. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you should trade even in these potentially debilitating conditions. By staying out of the markets, you can survive to trade another day, when you’re in a peak performance mental state and the market conditions are optimal."
As investors consider Kamath's advice, the focus remains on maintaining resilience and making informed decisions during challenging times.
Recently, Zerodha launched Portfolio Performance Curve on Console. This allows users to visualise their account performance, and can compare it to a benchmark like Nifty 50.
"We're probably the only broker to offer this feature in India and possibly worldwide," Kamat said.
