✌🏽 My Journey Into Share Trading

I still remember the first time I bought a stock. I had no idea what I was really doing—just a mix of curiosity and a bit of YouTube research. I signed up on a trading app, funded my account, and placed a market order for a company I’d heard was “going up.” Just like that, I became a shareholder.

At first, I dabbled in intraday trades, thinking I could quickly flip shares for profit. Sometimes I made a little money, but other times I lost just as fast. It was a rollercoaster—exciting but stressful. Eventually, I realized I didn’t have the time or mindset for constant screen-watching.

That’s when I switched to delivery-based trading. I started picking stocks based on the company’s potential, holding them longer, and watching them grow. It felt more stable and less like gambling.

I’ve learned to use limit orders to avoid bad entries, and now I always have a plan before I buy. I follow market trends, read financial news, and keep my emotions in check—mostly!

Trading taught me more than just finance—it taught me patience, discipline, and the importance of research. I'm still learning, but it's become more than just investing. It's a skill and a mindset.

If you're thinking about getting into trading, my advice is simple: start small, study hard, and treat every mistake as a lesson.
