Trading with 8k capital: Day 2

Published by

on

Today the market was completely sideways in the morning, giving almost no clear entry signals. Patience was key — I waited, watched the price action, and stayed disciplined.

The Breakthrough

Around 11:40 AM, the market finally gave a signal: a breakdown from the range-bound zone. Not long after, it came back for a retest. This was my moment. Once the retest was confirmed, I took a Put-side entry following my strategy.

Trade Outcome

Within just half an hour, the market moved in my favor and I hit my target, earning a profit of ₹1,618.

This was a satisfying day — I managed to recover yesterday’s loss and end the session in profit. After this move, the market went sideways again, showing no new opportunities, so I chose to close all positions and call it a day.

Key Takeaways

  • Patience pays off, especially in a sideways market.
  • A clear breakdown and retest setup can lead to quick, high-probability profits.
  • Avoid overtrading — sometimes the best action is to stay out.

Every day in the market teaches something new. Today’s lesson: wait for confirmation, protect capital, and strike when opportunity arises.

Tomorrow is another chance to learn, trade, and grow. Stay tuned as I continue sharing my journey. 🚀
