DebtSoldier: My Trade Journal Begins (From ₹862 left to future with hope)

DebtSoldier Logbook — Day D+3

This is my logbook — my war journal — for coming out of debt and reaching financial freedom.

This isn’t meant to give advice or inspire the world.

I am simply one man on a mission — to fight my way out of debt, one disciplined step at a time.

No fancy setups.
No shortcuts.
No noise.

Just daily action.
Daily accountability.

This is DebtSoldier.

There are many paths to financial freedom. For me, it's trading — stocks, futures, and options in the stock market.

I landed in debt for many reasons. Some personal, some professional — and yes, trading was one of them. I’ve had both good and bad trades over the years, but overtrading, poor position sizing, lifestyle needs, and a fledgling business that failed all played a part.

By 21 May 2025, my trading capital had shrunk to just ₹862.

That night, I couldn’t sleep. Tossing and turning, I kept asking myself: “What now?”

And that’s when the idea of this logbook was born.

I named 21 May 2025 as D-Day — the day I begin my turnaround.

My rule?
One trade a day. Strict stop-loss. No second chances. Hit the Kill Switch.
Simple. Ruthless. Disciplined.

D+1 – 22 May 2025:

Made a small profit of ₹161. Peanuts — but so was my capital. Hit the kill switch and called it a day.

D+2 – 23 May 2025:

Capital grew to ₹1023. Made another ₹186 profit. Before greed kicked in, I hit the kill switch again. Trading capital: ₹1209.

Then came the weekend.
No open positions. No stress. Just peace — and hope.

D+3 – 26 May 2025 (Today):

Made ₹153 profit on a single trade, likely to net around ₹103 after brokerage. Current trading capital: ₹1312.

That’s ₹450 added in 3 trading days — a 52.2% return on initial capital.

Tiny in absolute numbers.
Massive in discipline.
And that’s the seed of this journey.

Being pushed to the wall forced discipline on me. And from that pressure, this blog was born.

Maybe it helps someone else too.
Maybe it’s just for me.

Either way — I fight.

This is DebtSoldier.

The line broke on D+5

 A bad day today. Had identified that market was sidewards, but still tried to trade.  Broke my own rules today, Bad trade followed by Revenge trading, and carried one position overnight. This must stop or else will loose my capital . No point of it happens like this again.  This is not the way to trade. This is tough. Watching capital slip when I knew better is frustrating. But this isn’t a rant — it’s a self-accountability log . If I don’t own my mistakes, I’ll repeat them. So important to log it in . Lost 551 in trade and brokerage still to be accounted for, Had great chances to exit , but held positions too long. Finally it all decayed and gave losses.  May have to infuse capital to simply survive.  ,,,,have to find a way to make it success.

D+4: Holding the Line

  As anticipated Starting Trading Capital Rs 1331. —Today it has been tough , not so because of the market, but because of the mind and the fact that with such a low capital, i have to go  and pick real OTM and that means though premium is low, but movement is slow because of low delta ( thats the rate of movement in the direction of the market) and theta is against me ( that means time decay is more so it slows the movement for an option buyer like me) I booked a gross profit of ₹250 . But I had to take three trades in the process of adjusting my position, which pushed brokerage and associated charges higher. After all deductions, the net is likely to be just around ₹100 . My broker must be a very happy person. For someone who has made over ₹1 Lakh in a single day — but also lost more than ₹1 Lakh in a day — these numbers feel painfully small. But I keep reminding myself, thats why I am in dumps because of wrong position sizes and overtrading. This is not about chasing b...
