I trade Indian markets along with my day job. I have been working in this company for the past 8 years and honestly I am really grateful. This place is actually a fricking university (if I can call that)!!

I always knew that I would not keep working in a company forever. Not because of the common narration about ‘rat race’, ‘working for somebody else’ stuff, but because I know I have the skills to make myself wealthy without being in a job.

Trading is one of those skills.

I have followed the common route of almost all stock market participants. Started with day trading, lost a lot of money, tried swing trading next, made some money here and there, did SIPs in random mutual funds, made money and paid more taxes.. Long story short, I was all over the place!

My first year of trading was absolutely a negative sum game with wiping out 80% of my initial capital and going to bed with a disturbed mind.

I really thank one of my ex-leader in my current company who introduced me to an absolute legend in Indian stock market. The second year was about getting my shit together, unlearn what I know with his help. Thanks a lot Mr. M. 🙂

Time travel to 2024 January 14, this is how my performance in trading Indian markets look like. Blue is profit, red is cost of doing business (fees + charges + losses).

I will use this space as a journal for all my trades that I take in 2024. More on the journey during last three years and how I trade etc.. we will speak about it soon! Good night!
