There’s no way around it- If you invest your money in stocks, you’re most likely going to lose money at some point.

What matters the most is how you bounce back into the market with confidence and have trust in your process and strategies.

Today, in our Traders Point Series, we talked with Rahul- an options trader- about his journey of exploring the stock market and his trading style.

Rahul is a bio student and has done a few part-time gigs before entering the Stock Market

Rahul started his trading journey two years back by the influence of his friend and started consuming ebooks and youtube videos to understand the concept, but later on realized the importance of structured education, learning, and confidence to trade the market efficiently for consistent profits.

He started his journey with Equity, majorly in Nifty 50, and then moved to Options.

He believes that Price Action is one of the most effective trading techniques to apply to any market condition.

The core of his trading strategy revolves around Candlestick Patterns as a Price Action method.

Conclusively, his advice for beginners is to learn the basics first. According to him, if anyone can give a minimum of 6 months to learn the basics and the steps then he/she can trade the market with confidence.

Hence, believe in the process, form your strategies, and have conviction in it. And last but not least- have guts.  

Here are the following other key takeaways from his interview:
