My Trading journey Episode 1

Hi guys,
I have been struggling financially all my life , working part-time, hustling and studying. Then one fine day I read an article talking about financial freedom, immediately I understood that this is what I wanted, so that I can do whatever I like and feel comfortable about it without any anxiety about how would I pay my bills.

Then I started reading books of many great authors , then I understood the concepts of Assets and Liabilities, and I understood the that I should build Assets and remove all the Liabilities so that one day my Assets will payoff all my bills and I would be free to do anything I like , but I had only 7000 rupees(90$) in my bank account and at that time I was giving private home tuition earning 6000rupees a month and going to college from 9 to 4 .

Obviously I can't invest in real-estate, so I chose stock market because it requires less capital and liquidity is high , I can take out my money whenever I wanted to, again I found another roadblock🤣

Even if the fundamental of the stock is very strong , I can't invest that 7000 and wait years for it to become rich, The realty was that I cannot build Assets that could pay off my bills and make my life comfortable with just 7000 rupees , for that I need to keep making money and invest it in Assets,  so I decided to trade stocks .



That decision to only trade landed me in a tough spot, I started trading blindly only using fundamental analysis was a big mistake, that too without any stoploss 🤣🤣, I lost almost 15% of my capital in few days.

My first big loss was that I bought HDFC BANK stock that day as an intraday position and hoping that it would go up and give me good returns, little did I expect was that it went down bad, first the loss was 100 then its slowly started growing, I 
thought I would wait a little bit so that I would break even and then I will exit the trade, but it went down further down to 200 , then I thought atleast let me wait till the Loss went back to 100 , but then it went down further to 300 ,still being a sheep at that time I didn't knew any better so I waited till the market's closing time and exit just a minute before closing time. 
I know a loss of 300 rupees is not much but at that time it was a lot to me back in 2019. I was devastated , I hated myself for not exiting at the loss of 100rupees or atleast 200rupees.
Then I started trading again and the same thing happened a few times , then I realized that something was off (Present me: a lot is off you idiot, you are not keeping the stoploss dumbest) , so I decided that I will take a break for a few months and learn, then start trading again. What I had learned in that break was...

To Be Continued...
Thanks guys for reading
If you like it please share to your fellow traders , so that they can learn from my mistakes .

The Israel palestine conflict

  The Israel-Palestine conflict is a deeply rooted and complex geopolitical issue that has persisted for decades, with its origins dating back to the late 19th century. At its core, the conflict revolves around competing national narratives, historical grievances, and territorial claims, making it a deeply emotional and contentious issue for both Israelis and Palestinians. The roots of the conflict can be traced to the late 1800s when Zionist movements emerged, advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The Balfour Declaration in 1917, issued by the British government, expressed support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. This declaration, coupled with the British mandate over Palestine, sowed the seeds for future tensions. In 1947, the United Nations proposed the partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international city. The Jewish leadership accepted th...

Political Radicalism in the Weimar Republic Germany

-
Image
The birth of the Weimar Republic coincided with the revolutionary uprising of the Spartacist League on the pattern of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Soviets of workers and sailors were established in many cities. The political atmosphere in Berlin was charged with demands for Soviet-style governance.  this is a rally organised by the radical group known as the Spartacist League. In the winter of 1918-1919 the streets of Berlin were taken over by the people. Political demonstrations became common. Those opposed to this  such as the socialists, Democrats and Catholics  met in Weimar to give shape to the democratic republic. The Weimar Republic crushed the uprising with the help of a war veterans organisation called Free Corps .  The  anguished Spartacists later founded  the Communist Party of Germany.  Communists and Socialists henceforth became irreconcilable enemies and could not make common cause against Hitler.  Both revolutiona...
