A Software engineer in Bangalore, 31, works at a startup.
Started trading in 2021 during COVID. Had ₹20 lakh saved. Put ₹10 lakh in trading.
By 2023, account was at ₹6 Lakh
His girlfriend (now wife) didn't know he'd lost ₹4 Lakh He kept saying "it's going okay."
Wedding happened in February 2024. Expensive wedding. He contributed ₹8 lakh from his savings.
After the wedding, his wife wanted to start planning finances together. She said: "Let's see all our accounts and investments."
That's when he had to confess. "My trading account is at ₹6. It was ₹10 lakh when I started."
She wasn't mad about the money. She was mad he hide it.
She asked: "Why did you keep doing it if you were losing?"
He didn't have a good answer.
Truth was: He was ashamed to quit. He'd told his friends he's a trader. Posted some winning trades on Instagram. Felt like quitting would be admitting he failed.
So he kept trading. Kept losing. Kept hiding it.
After the confession, his wife said something simple: "If you want to keep trading, fine. But I want to see the account statement every month. And we need to decide together how much you can afford to lose."
That changed everything.
Not because she was monitoring him. Because he couldn't hide anymore.
He went back to basics. Started journaling. Reduced position sizes to 0.5% risk per trade (was doing 2-5% before).
Stopped taking trades just to "be active." Only traded clear setups.
First three months after the wedding: Made ₹1.5 lakh total. Tiny recovery. But recovery.
His wife saw the account go from ₹6 Lakh to ₹7.5 Lakh.
She said: "This is the first time it's gone up."
He realized: The accountability helped more than any course or book.
Because when you have to show someone your trades every month, you stop taking stupid trades.
You stop revenge trading.
You stop overleveraging.
You stop lying to yourself.
Account is at ₹9.2 lakh now (14 months after the confession).
Still hasn't recovered the full ₹4 lakh. But he's on track.
More importantly: His wife knows exactly what's happening. No more hiding.
He told his wife : "I thought accountability would feel like pressure. It actually feels like relief."
Because hiding losses is more stressful than showing them.
Broking is a unique business because there's a hard ceiling on how much we can grow and the rate at which we can grow. What most people don't realise is that SEBI has set a 15% open interest (OI) cap at the broker level.
No single broker can hold more than 15% of the total market OI. This restriction exists to mitigate the risk of concentration from any single broker becoming too large. Concentration is beneficial for business but ultimately detrimental to consumers.
This is similar to the 33% market share restriction that NPCI imposed on third-party UPI apps. That measure was never implemented because it would've meant UPI apps stopping transactions, but in our case, the limit is applicable.
For us to grow, the overall market must grow, and that means other brokers must also do well. Although we have been at nearly 15% of OI for the last five years, fortunately, the overall market has grown, and we've benefited.
We experienced this last month when Cloudfare went down and multiple brokers were affected.
Every broker should already have a backup system in place.
Trading losses are hard enough to accept, but losses due to internet disruption can be really painful.
