SEBI says the large majority of retail F&O traders lose, but this episode's guest, a full-time finance professional and certified research analyst, is in the small minority that does not, trading options around meetings, calls, and deadlines while staying profitable. Her path was not smooth: she started after watching friends celebrate easy profits, then crashed through overtrading, revenge trading, and emotional breakdowns. Instead of quitting, she rebuilt her approach around evening research, pre-defined setups, support and resistance levels, and a strict rule against trading without a reason. The conversation is a practical, honest look at how a busy professional can trade seriously part-time, emphasising preparation, selectivity, and discipline over screen time. It is encouraging for salaried viewers who assume profitable trading requires watching charts all day, while being realistic about the painful learning curve that came first.

Frequently asked questions

Can I trade profitably while working a full time job?

Yes. The guest does exactly that as a busy finance professional, relying on evening research and pre-defined setups rather than watching charts all day, which shows selectivity beats screen time.

How did she turn her trading around?

After crashing through overtrading, revenge trading, and emotional breakdowns, she rebuilt around evening preparation, defined setups, support and resistance, and a strict rule never to trade without a reason.

Does part time trading avoid the painful learning curve?

No. The episode is honest that the discipline came only after a difficult period of losses. Part time is possible, but the early learning curve is just as real.
