Why Trading is the hardest way to make easy money ?
This is my 100th blog post—and today, I’m revealing the raw truth.
Most people think trading is the shortcut to becoming ultra-rich.
Fast money, quick success, maybe even double your capital overnight.
But here’s the worst part: those assumptions will break you.
I’ve seen traders lose everything.
Some quit after just 3 losses.
Some keep adding capital, hoping for a comeback—only to sink deeper.
I’ve been there too… Lost big. Saved a little. Restarted again.
Trading didn’t just test my strategy—it tested me.
And that’s why it’s the hardest way to make easy money..
Then… what about me?
Was I some trading genius?
Nope.
I just didn’t give up.
I continued—with perseverance, curiosity, and brutal honesty.
I failed, but I studied my failures.
I lost, but I learned to protect what’s left.
I didn’t chase success. I chased clarity.
I used to believe trading was the fastest way to make money.
Open laptop, choose stock, buy options, and boom—profit?
But no one told me the truth:
Trading is the hardest way to make easy money.
I am not going to lie…
I didn’t blow up my capital completely — unlike the typical trading story everyone starts with.
But I did lose huge chunks.
Each time, I managed to save 10–15% and rebuild.
And now I know—that’s what kept me alive in the game.
Let me tell you why trading is so hard… and still worth it.
💰 The Illusion Everyone Falls For
People look at trading like a shortcut.
“I’ll just follow a few indicators, learn some price action, and start making money.”
But soon, reality hits.
- You buy at the top
- You sell too soon
- You panic at red candles
- You keep re-entering with more hope than plan
And before you know it, your capital is bleeding.
Because trading looks easy—but tests every weakness in you.
💣 Why Most Traders Fail (And I Almost Did Too)
I’ve made all the classic mistakes:
Mistakes :
No proper stop loss
Turned small loss into big crash because of fake messages
Emotional trades
I entered out of fear or greed
Overconfidence
What it did :
One win made me feel like a genius
Avoiding journaling
I repeated same mistakes again and again
Trading under stress
My body hurt. My capital hurt more.
And yet, I didn’t quit.
Because even when I lost big, I always kept some capital aside.
Even when I was frustrated, I always came back with new notes, new learnings.
That’s how I knew—I’m not here just to make money.
I’m here to grow. Emotionally. Mentally. Financially.
📉 The Hardest Part Is Not The Strategy
People ask:
“Which indicator do you use?”
“How do you find breakout stocks?”
“What’s your win rate?”
But the real question should be:
“How do you control your mind when the market tests you?”
Because the hardest part in trading is:
- Holding back from revenge trades
- Sitting out when there’s no clear setup
- Cutting a loss even if you feel like “it will come back”
- Staying emotionally neutral after a loss
- Not becoming overconfident after a win
No strategy can save you from yourself.
🔁 What Helped Me Survive (And Slowly Win)
I built my own 10-step trading framework. Not from books, but from pain.
I call it “10 Steps to Trading Success” (read it here).
Here’s what changed my journey:
What I Did & Why It Helped
Fixed 5% risk per trade = I stopped blowing capital
SL = 1 ATR / 20 EMA = No more random exits
Exit at 2x reward = I stopped being greedy
Journal every trade = I spotted patterns in my own mistakes
Focused on 1D timeframe = More clarity, less stress
I didn’t become rich overnight. = But I became stronger, sharper, calmer.
⚠️ Trading Is Hard Because It’s a Mirror
The market is not your enemy.
It simply shows you… YOU.
- If you have no patience → it shows up
- If you have emotional baggage → it hits your trades
- If you seek instant results → it teaches you the hard way
That’s why trading is so hard.
Because it forces you to grow as a person—or quit.
💪 But That’s Why It’s Worth It
If you can win in trading, you can win in life.
Because to survive in this game, you must:
- Control emotions
- Stick to rules
- Accept losses
- Delay pleasure
- Master your mind
That’s wealth mindset.
That’s spiritual discipline.
That’s success—not just in charts, but in life.
🛠️ Final Thoughts (And a Secret)
Even after huge losses, I never quit.
Each time, I saved a little capital.
Each time, I restarted smarter.
Each time, I came back with new strength.
So if you’re reading this and feeling broken or stuck…
Just remember: even the strongest traders felt that too.
The only difference is — they didn’t stop.
🌱 My Goals
I am now manifesting:
- I trade calmly with confidence
- I double my capital with discipline
- I become a top 1% trader in India
- I build wealth that heals my life and family
- I live a free, happy, peaceful, powerful life
This is my 100th blog post.
Not a celebration of profit — but of progress.
