How I Made ₹10,000 in One Week in the Stock Market (And What I Learned)

  

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a small win that really boosted my confidence last week—I made ₹10,000 in just one week through the stock market. Now, before you think I’m some finance expert or a trading guru, let me tell you—I’m not. I’m just a regular student who’s been dabbling in the market, learning from mistakes, and trying to be smart about risks.

So, how did it happen? Let me break it down.

1. The Curiosity Phase (aka Scrolling YouTube at 2 AM)

It all started with a late-night YouTube binge. I stumbled upon a video about intraday trading strategies. I had a demat account already (thanks to some earlier attempts), but never really used it seriously. That video sparked something—I thought, "Why not try this for real, but cautiously?"

2. Picking the Right Stocks (And Not Just Following the Crowd)

I didn’t randomly buy into hype stocks. I did some basic research—checked news, volumes, RSI levels, and followed a few reliable Telegram and Twitter handles. I focused on stocks that showed strong movement during market opening hours.

That week, I traded in stocks like Tata Motors, Bank of Baroda, and Adani Power—mostly because they had clear trends and were easy to track.

3. Small Bets, Quick Exits

I wasn’t aiming to become rich overnight. My trades were small—starting with ₹3K to ₹5K per trade. But I always kept a strict stop-loss and a target.

One thing I followed religiously: Never get greedy.

If my profit target hit, I exited. No “let it ride” nonsense. One day I made ₹2.3K just by holding a stock for 40 minutes and exiting before lunch.

4. One Bad Trade Taught Me More Than All the Good Ones

Mid-week, I messed up. Bought into a stock that was “pumped” on Twitter, didn’t do proper research, and lost ₹1,100 in 15 minutes. It hurt. But instead of quitting, I took that as a lesson to never blindly follow hype.

5. The Final Tally

By the end of the week, after all gains and losses, I was up by ₹10,280. Not life-changing, but definitely motivating. The feeling of earning through your own research and decisions? Can’t beat that.

What I Learned:

Don’t trade emotionally. It’s a numbers game.

Protect your capital. Profit comes later.

Learn basic charts, support/resistance levels.

Don’t get influenced by noise. Stick to your plan.
