True story ๐๐๐ My First Trading Experience: From Excitement to Reality Check ๐ธ
Let me take you back to 2012โฆ the year I stepped into the world of trading โ clueless, curious, and completely unprepared. ๐
๐ฐ Day 1:
I didnโt even fully understand what trading was!
But I did build a virtual portfolio on MoneyControl, and guess what?
๐ It was up 20% in just a month. I thought, "I'm ready for the real thing!" ๐ช
๐ Day 2: The Reality Check
Got my broker credentials. Bought 1 share of Bharti Airtel at โน360.
It rose by โน1 and I was already dreaming of Lamborghinis ๐
๐
Then it hit 10 AMโฆ
๐ฅ Markets started crashing.
๐ Sensex dropped 450 points โ one of the worst single-day falls at the time.
I had no idea what to do. No stop-loss, no trend knowledge, no strategy.
Just vibes... and fear. ๐ฐ๐
๐ฅ Day 3: The Panic Move
Averaged down like a genius (I thought).
Market? Kept falling.
Portfolio? Bleeding red.
Pain? Unbearable. ๐
Eventually, I gave in and sold everything at a loss.
That was the end of my first trading chapter.
๐ Lesson learned the hard way:
Never trade without a strategy
Technical analysis isnโt just a textbook subject
Risk management is EVERYTHING โ๏ธ
Follow me ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Sometimes failure is the best teacher.
I lost money, but I gained wisdom.
And I never looked at markets the same way again. ๐ก๐
