🧠 1. Learn the Basics First
Before putting any money, understand:
What is stock market (NSE/BSE in India)
Types of trading:
o Intraday (same day)
o Swing trading (few days/weeks)
o Investing (long term)
Basic terms: candlestick, support/resistance, volume
You can learn from:
Zerodha Varsity (free + very beginner friendly)
YouTube (search: “price action trading India beginner”)
💸 2. Start with Paper Trading (NO REAL MONEY)
This is where most students go wrong.
Use:
TradingView
Moneybhai
👉 Practice for at least 1–2 months
👉 Try strategies without risk
🏦 3. Open a Demat Account
Once you understand basics:
Popular brokers in India:
Zerodha
Upstox
Angel One
You’ll need:
PAN card
Aadhaar
Bank account
💰 4. Start VERY Small
As a student:
Start with ₹1,000–₹5,000 only
Focus on learning, not profit
Golden rule:
👉 Never risk more than 1–2% per trade
📊 5. Pick One Strategy Only
Don’t jump everywhere.
Beginner-friendly:
Support & Resistance
Trendline trading
Simple moving averages
Avoid:
Options trading (very risky for beginners)
“Telegram tips” or random signals ❌
⏰ 6. Manage Time (Important for Students)
Since you have classes:
Try swing trading instead of intraday
Check charts in morning or evening
🧾 7. Keep a Trading Journal
Write:
Why you entered trade
Profit/loss
What you learned
This is what actually improves you.
⚠️Reality Check
90% beginners lose money at first
It takes 6–12 months to get consistent
Don’t depend on trading as income right now
