How to start investing in share market in India

As a retailer experience i know it is very tough to success in the stock market. I am specially talking about indian stock market. It is really hard to earn money in this market.

Actually every retail trader think its very easy to earn in this market. But after spending time in real trade people know it is the toughest business in the world.

I work in telecom company and after working for six years i thought that i make small earning from share market. I started with buying 2-3 quantity of share. then i realized that brokerage is also there that reduces your profit and increase your loss.

So you need to make good profit to cover brokerage and annual maintenance charges.

Till i was investing in the shares i was in net profit. As you rarely make loss in the investment and you have plenty of time to sell your share at profit you can hold your shares if you are in loss. 

After earning money from investment your greed will become more. You will think its very easy to earn in the share market. After watching 10-12 videos on YouTube you will learn something about options chain and know that in options you can earn 2-5 k per day. In investment you are earning 2k in a month now in options you can earn 2k per day  so it would be thrill for you and you think you can easily learn options by watching some videos from youtube. The best part is that in first trade you will luckily earn 1000-1500 profit and here starts your trading journey. 

So before investing in share market kindly pay attention to the points I have mentioned after 5 years of experience 

1. Learn Basic Technical Analysis

Start by understanding charts, candlesticks, support & resistance, moving averages etc.

🎥 Tip: Use free resources like YouTube channels (like Trading Chanakya, or Pranjal Kamra) to learn.

 2. Start with Cash Trading

Avoid F&O in the beginning.

🛑 Use your own capital and test your strategy through equity delivery or intraday.

This helps build discipline and real confidence.

 3. Stick to One Strategy

Don't keep switching from RSI to MACD to price action every week.

Stick to one method, learn it deeply, and track your results for at least 3 months.

4. Avoid Greed – Expect Small Returns

The market doesn't give 5x or 10x overnight.

 Focus on consistent returns like 1–2% per week or 5–10% per month (even this is huge annually!).

✅ 5. Stay Invested for 3–4 Years

Market knowledge doesn't come from videos — it comes from experience.

 If you stay invested or active for 3–4 years, you’ll understand real concepts like:

Market psychology

FII/DII behavior

Volatility management

Price action

Hedging your investment 

📌 Bonus Tip:

Track your trades in Excel or a trading journal. It’s your best teacher.
