The Loss of this Trader Will SHOCK You - The Dark Side of Over Trading | Losses & Lessons

Stock Pathshala

In this powerful episode of the Losses and Lessons podcast, we bring you the raw, unfiltered journey of Karuna — a retail trader who lost big in options trading and chose to speak out instead of staying silent.

Karuna’s story mirrors the hidden reality of thousands of Indian traders: chasing profits influenced by online “gurus,” taking risky trades, and eventually drowning in losses. From getting lured by get-rich-quick schemes to taking loans to recover trades and hiding his failures from family — this episode dives deep into the emotional and financial toll trading can take.

Karuna talks openly about how YouTube influencers misled his expectations, how trading became gambling, and how overconfidence and lack of guidance led him down a dark path. The highlight? A brutally honest PnL reveal that shatters the illusion of universal success online.

If you’ve ever lost money in the markets, felt alone in your failure, or questioned your strategies — this episode is for you. It’s not a guide to profits, but a reality check that every trader needs.

Watch Karuna’s story — and take away lessons that charts will never teach. Because real trading education starts with real stories.
