My name is Mahesh Koshnamwar, and I started my trading journey in 2014. In the beginning, I was doing random trading without any proper knowledge or strategy, and I did not make any profits. Later, I moved to intraday trading, where I faced significant losses. After that, I shifted to day trading and options trading. Although I occasionally made small profits, most of the time I experienced big losses. Over a period of six years, I lost around ₹12–15 lakhs. Eventually, I stopped trading completely.

After 2020, my former boss, Sidhartha Meka, supported me a lot. He suggested that I read books like Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard and follow some educational blogs. His guidance changed my perspective on trading. In 2022, I restarted trading with a focus on technical analysis. I began making decent profits in options, especially in flag breakout patterns. Things went well for a few months, but when the market turned bearish, my strategies stopped working, and I started losing money again. At times, I felt that trading was not suitable for me and that it was too difficult to understand. So, I paused once more.

Again, Sidhartha Meka guided me patiently. He advised me to stop day trading and avoid random trades. Through several Zoom calls, he trained me on proper stock selection, when to buy, when to sell, how to place stop-losses, and how to set realistic targets. His mentorship helped me develop discipline and a structured approach to trading.

After that, I shifted to swing trading. Now, I am learning when to trade and, more importantly, when not to trade. I am seeing consistent improvements and better profits, and I continue to learn every day. This blog is not for giving tips or recommendations—it is simply my personal trading journal and a record of my journey. Thank you for reading and supporting my story.
