1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

a trader goes thru the following 9 emotional stages
on the road to becoming successful
provided he doesn't stop on the way!

--

stage 1 : shringar

trader is so happy when he enters the magical world of trading!
his body language is loaded with loud expressions of hollow and premature ecstacy!
becoming a trader is considered an achievement in itself!

--

stage 2 : hasya

trader takes things lightly.

laughs at his stupid moves.

laughs-off the bad trades.

--

stage 3 : veer

trader can no longer laugh at the repeated losses

he puts up a brave front

tries to be a hero

often like don quixote

--

stage 4 : raudra

when his

unwarranted

ill-informed

bravery

results in mounting losses

his ego gets triggered

he gets furious

and angrily clasps the ill-fated ride even tighter

--

stage 5 : vibhatsa

by now

the things get ugly.

the trader has come too far to turn back

without some permanent damage.

by now

'shingar' has melted

'hasya' has vanished

'veerta' has evaporated

'raudra' has turned ugly.

--

stage 6: bhayanak

the reality and the trader are standing face to face

reality smiles like a devil

trader stares like an injured,humiliated and helpless lion!

repents why he became a trader, why he took the trader and why he didn't see this all the way!

--

stage 7 : karuna

trader has booked huge losses

his bank balance is gone

sense of sorry, helplessness, pity and self-consolation dawns

trader licks his wounds and cries!

--

stage 8 : adbhut

trader either quits the line

or undergoes unbelievable transformation!

he can't believe that

he had been so stupid in his trades.

finally, he decides to learn

--

stage 9 : shaant

all emotions are gone by now

peace, tranquility and silence prevails

trading is no more a show-off (even to self)

method and discipline take over

the epic journey starts!
