One day, I decided to try a small trade in the stock market. A big tech company’s share price dropped by 5% in one day because of a short delay in one of their products. I thought the problem would be fixed soon, so I bought 20 shares at $50 each. This cost me $1,000. I made a plan to sell if the price went up to $55 or down to $48. For the next week, I checked the price once a day. At one point, it fell to $49.70, but I stayed calm and followed my plan. After eight days, the price reached $55. I sold all my shares for $1,100, making a $100 profit before fees. It was not a big win, but it taught me that sticking to a plan and staying patient is important in trading.
