People don’t give the market time to learn. They come directly with money, thinking it’s a locker – we’ll work day and night and magically turn ₹10 into ₹40. That never happens. If you’ve ever looked at the screen, you’d see days where I made ₹5 lakhs profit. But there was also a time when I was sitting around 4 legs (legs in options), and the entire one-year salary turned into 212% profit. I’m going to share that journey with you all today.
Hi everyone, many of you know me as . Today, I want to talk about why I chose trading as a career. A lot of people carry this misconception – if nothing works out, we’ll try trading. If money’s tight, let’s do trading. Anyone can become a trader. That’s the thought. But it’s not like that. Today I’ll tell you in detail just how difficult this profession can be, how much time, dedication, and mental strength it needs. And I’ll also explain what the real meaning of the ‘Power of Stocks’ is.
Let’s start the video.
Let me tell you three key points about and the massive potential in trading. I’ll show you a position I’m currently holding – you’ll see a profit of over ₹5 lakhs. But remember, there was a time when my annual salary was only ₹2.1 lakhs, and I earned that much profit in one trade.
Let me take you back to 2014 – the final year of my engineering. That’s when I had to decide what to do with my life. I didn’t have very strong academics – I barely had 60%. But I had a degree. So I was wondering what to do next. Around that time, I heard a little about trading – from a friend, or maybe a friend’s friend. I had some vague idea. I took that idea home. Obviously, I wasn’t getting any job offers – with just 60%, nobody was hiring. I told my parents, "I want to try trading." They were okay with it. But when I told extended family and friends, everyone said, “Are you crazy? Don’t even think of putting money in trading. You’ll get trapped.”
But I still wanted to try. I remember I had ₹500 when I first walked into a broker’s office. That’s when I actually saw how price ticks move, how charts look, what indicators are. Until then, I had just Googled “How much money can you make from the stock market?”
That’s what many of you do, right?
In those early days, when I did my first course, I realized the market actually has structure – prices aren’t random. There are indicators and processes. I began following them. I had never seen any other field that felt so interesting.
My job always felt like a cage – sitting in front of a printer. I always felt like I was being underestimated. But I had confidence that I’d do something in life. I never dreamed small. In my view, Dreaming small is a crime.
Think about it – we all have two legs, two hands, same number of hours. Yet some people earn lakhs or crores and some can’t earn even ₹5000. The only difference is in the size of their dreams and their dedication.
So I made up my mind: I will do trading. But I had no money. When I asked my family, they refused. “We can’t fund this.” So I had only one option: to work, save, and then trade.
I moved to Bangalore. Got a job after a few months. My angle was always trading – the job was just a means to get capital. I remember my first salary. And I also remember losing 90% of it in a single day trading commodities.
My friends were planning what phone to buy, where to go for a trip. And there I was, devastated. But I was determined to know why I lost money. What was I missing that others knew?
That’s when I started reading books, watching videos, and learning about trading psychology. That was the turning point.
People don’t give time to the market. They enter with money thinking they’ll turn 10 into 40 overnight. It doesn’t work like that. Imagine – you turned ₹1 lakh into ₹2 lakh in a day. Or ₹20 lakh into ₹50 lakh. You’ll go crazy. You won’t be able to handle it. You need skill first, not money.
If you’re someone who can’t give time to trading because of a job, maybe this field isn’t for you. For me, during my job, I never took breaks longer than 20 minutes. I used that time to study charts.
People used to mock me for not joining weekend parties or taking breaks. But I knew – if others could learn this, so could I.
Eventually, I saved some money, took a loan, and quit my job. I promised myself: I’ll give trading one year. If it doesn’t work, I’ll never come back to it.
Thankfully, it worked.
I never promoted my YouTube channel. I let it grow organically. Because I know those who stay are real learners – warriors.
In 2020, during the COVID crash, I predicted a big fall in Bank Nifty. It crashed from 3025 to 1760. That trade turned my capital around completely. From there, I kept compounding.
People think you can just wake up one day and become a trader. It’s not that easy. If you want to be a doctor, you study 10 hours daily. Why not for trading?
I made a roadmap. Every day I follow it – plan my trades, study charts. Even now, my recent trades crossed ₹5 lakhs in profits – but that’s only because I’ve been preparing since yesterday. That’s the roadmap.
I feel blessed for two reasons:
-
My family didn’t give me money when I asked. That forced me to learn.
-
I had time. I used that to build my knowledge.
Had they given me money early on, I would’ve blown it, blamed the market, and left.
The market doesn’t give money – it gives opportunity. If a stock goes from ₹100 to ₹200, and your friend makes money, it’s not luck. He found the right moment, entered, and exited with skill. That’s what you have to learn.
So if you’ve stayed till here, thank you. I hope this gives you clarity about what it takes to be a trader – not just capital, but patience, strategy, and relentless effort.
Power of Stocks isn’t just a name – it’s a mindset."
