Traders Fail Because They Don't Know This Basic Thing!

In this podcast, Nitish Kumar shares his journey of becoming a trader at a time when trading wasn’t considered a career option, especially in places where government jobs were seen as the only path to success. He talks about how he started in the late 1990s, the challenges he faced in the early years, and the lessons he learned after spending more than two decades in the stock market. His story shows how patience, continuous learning, and discipline helped shape his trading approach. The conversation then focuses on one of the biggest problems in the market today: why most option buyers lose money. He explains why buying options every single day is not a sustainable way to trade and shares two simple rules that can help traders improve their results. He also discusses why many retail traders struggle to stay profitable, how overtrading hurts performance, and why waiting for the right opportunity is often more important than taking more trades. A major part of the discussion is dedicated to his “Hilega Milega” strategy and how he has improved it over time. He explains how traders can combine it with volume, ORB, and VWAP to make better trading decisions. He also shares why he believes volume is one of the most underrated tools in trading, while many popular concepts like indicators, price action, FVG, and OI are often given more importance than they deserve. Through multiple chart examples, he explains how to read volume correctly and avoid common trading mistakes. Towards the end, he shares practical insights on building consistency, following a rules-based approach, and keeping emotions under control while trading. He explains why success in the market doesn’t come from taking more trades but from taking the right ones with proper discipline and risk management.
