The Day I Was Chasing the Market

There was a phase when I used to chase the market every single day. I would jump from one setup to another, watching every tick, trying to recover or make more.

One day, I lost ₹5 lakh. It hurt badly. The next day, I made ₹6.18 lakh and felt like I had mastered the game. That mix of loss and recovery gave me false confidence. I started believing I could always bounce back.

But the pattern was the same — many small wins and few big losses. And every big loss was larger than the last.

That’s when I realized the market doesn’t reward speed or emotions. It rewards patience, planning, and discipline. The day I stopped chasing, I started learning what real trading means — not just profit, but control.

If you’ve ever felt trapped between loss and recovery, remember: the market is never against you — your impatience is.
