Two honest questions. Answer truthfully — the right path saves you from years of expensive mistakes.
How many hours per week can you realistically dedicate to studying the market?
Be honest. "Study" means reading charts, economic news, company results, and practising trades. Not just checking your portfolio app.
You don't need to watch the market every day to build real wealth. The data is clear: a simple Nifty 50 index SIP, rebalanced once a year, beats 80% of actively managed funds. You'll need less than 1 hour per month to manage this.
You have the time commitment and psychological readiness for active trading. This is a high-skill, high-reward pursuit. You'll learn price action, options Greeks, risk sizing formulas, and build a rule-based trading system. Treat it like a business, not a hobby.
