Here’s a shortened version of your script under 250 words, with the podcast series name removed and the flow preserved:
In today’s episode, we bring you the raw and emotional story of Ram Singh Yadav, an Indian Army officer who entered the world of options trading in 2017 with hope and dreams of financial freedom.
But instead of gains, he faced staggering losses — a cumulative ₹62 lakh over the years. As the losses piled up, debt entered quietly but ruthlessly. Ram ended up taking 10 loans, with EMIs touching ₹70,000–₹75,000 monthly. His entire Army salary would vanish instantly — leaving him with no savings, no cash flow, only stress and mounting guilt.
In this deeply personal conversation, Ram opens up about the double life he led — donning the Army uniform by day, and watching his demat account bleed by night. He talks about the emotional toll, the sleepless nights, and the lonely battles fought in silence.
But this story isn’t just about loss. It’s about realization and rebuilding. Ram shares how he began to understand the importance of discipline, stop-losses, and protecting capital before chasing profits.
This episode is a reality check — especially for those drawn to trading thinking it’s a shortcut to wealth. It reveals the hidden, painful side of trading:
🔹 The danger of averaging down
🔹 The trap of switching brokers as false hope
🔹 The pressure of EMIs clouding judgment
🔹 And the harsh truth — hope is not a strategy.
If you’re a trader or have ever faced losses, this story will resonate — and possibly change how you trade.
