Struggling in options trading? You’re not alone. Before you blame yourself, understand the real reasons behind losses. Here’s an emotional, honest blog every trader must read.
Introduction:
You may have heard people say:
“Out of 10 option traders, 9 will lose money.”But have you ever thought deeply about which 10 traders they’re talking about?
Let me explain from my own experience. In my group, out of 10 people, all are profitable — some in small profits, some in large — but all in green by the end of the year.
Then I met another group — all 10 in loss.
So what’s going on?
It’s not about the number. It’s about which 10 you are referring to.
Just like in some city areas, 6 out of 10 students crack the JEE exam. But go to a remote village, and not a single student passes. Same exam, different result. Why?
It depends on:
Where you learn from
What tools you use
Who is teaching you
What discipline you follow
What mindset you carry
It’s Not the Market – It’s the Mentorship
If someone says option trading always gives loss — they are wrong, with all due respect.
If that were the case, then option trading itself should be banned, right?
But it’s not — because many are earning money.
So if you’re not able to earn, maybe the problem is not in you — it’s in:
Your learning path
Your trainer
Your system
Your mindset
It’s not just about “learning” — it’s about practicing live with your trainer.And your trainer should never say “buy when EMA crosses” without giving the deeper reason behind it.
Why Are So Many Losing Money?
The reality is — many of us don’t even have the courage to ask the right questions.
We follow someone blindly because:
They have lakhs of YouTube followers
They look flashy on Instagram
They show screenshots of profits
But what we don’t see is the hidden truth.
The truth is — joining a course is not a mistake.
But continuing to lose after learning is not 100% your fault either.
It’s also the fault of your trainer, who failed to give you the right direction.
My Personal Journey – Why I Chose to Become a Full-Time Trader
I was working in a very good job with a very good salary package.
But I decided to quit.
Not because someone motivated me…
But because I understood the market through my own effort.
Before quitting, I spent 3 years:
Tracking my daily profit and loss
Calculating ROI
Understanding capital risk
Studying market behavior
Only then I took the leap.
So if you’re frustrated in your trading journey, let me tell you again:
It’s not entirely your fault.
Most likely, your trainer or your trading system is hiding something.
Or they skipped critical live practice with you.
Real Teachers Don’t Ask You to Trade Immediately
Understand this — real mentors won’t ask you to jump into the market with real money immediately.
A real teacher will:
Ask you to observe for 6 to 12 months
Make you paper trade
Watch your emotions
Teach you how to read charts
And most importantly — teach you how NOT to trade every day
Some Harsh Truths You Must Accept
You might be losing because you followed the crowd.
You may have been sold a dream, not a system.
You may be skipping risk management and journaling.
That’s okay. Don’t feel ashamed.
We’ve all made those mistakes.
But once you realise this, don’t keep repeating them.
Still Losing? Then It’s Time to Change… Everything
If you’re losing consistently in options:
Change your mentor
Change your strategy
Change your tools
Change your routine
And change your inner belief
Option trading is not risky. Wrong trading is risky.You’re not wrong for trying. You’re brave.
What’s wrong is following a broken system and blaming yourself for it.
To Every Trader Who’s Struggling – Read This Carefully
Even if you’ve lost a lot, please don’t lose your confidence.
Even if people around you are saying, “Options trading is risky,”
Remember — that’s their experience, not necessarily yours.
There are people who:
Make ₹5,000 a month consistently
Trade with ₹2,00,000 capital
Focus only on 1 or 2 setups
And they are profitable — because they have clarity.
If you’re still reading this blog — thank you.
It means you care.
It means you’re still searching for the truth.
It means you still believe in yourself — even if just a little.
And that is enough.
A Word of Caution — We’re Not Blaming Everyone
Note: This blog is not written to blame any particular mentor, YouTuber, or trainer.
Yes, some are fake.
But there are many good mentors too — who teach honestly, trade live, and walk with you during losses.
If you have such a mentor, congratulations — stay with them and grow with them.
But if you feel lost, misled, or cheated — you have every right to leave and rebuild.
Closing Thoughts: You Can Still Win
Not every CA becomes famous.
Not every lawyer becomes successful.
But the one who:
Trained well
Practiced seriously
Got the right guidance
…always goes far.
Same in trading.
You’re not here to give up.
You’re here to win — with discipline, knowledge, and real effort.
Don’t let one failure stop you.
Don’t let one fake trainer ruin your journey.
The market is not against you — it’s waiting for you to understand it.
