Why Most Traders Lose Discipline Before They Lose Money
The strategy is rarely the problem. Here's what usually breaks first, and how to notice it before your account does.

Financial freedom by 2027
Are You Happy with Your Finances?
-
1
Are you fed up with your loan EMIs? Do you want to be completely debt-free from 2027 onwards?
-
2
Are you facing challenges in your business, such as increased competition, rising expenses and falling sales?
-
3
Are you terribly disappointed with the performance of your investments in stocks, mutual funds, SIPs or ULIPs?
-
4
Have you secured your family with an adequate amount so that, God forbid, if you are not there, they can still live comfortably?
Please include all liabilities, including outstanding loans, your partner’s share, property share, government taxes, etc.
-
5
Have you created an additional source of guaranteed income (a minimum of 2 lakhs per month), apart from your business, that keeps coming in whether it is a situation like COVID or a lockdown, or an economic crisis?
If your answer to any of these questions is “yes”, we have good news for you.
We can help you address all of the areas mentioned above and work towards financial freedom in 2027, provided you are open to new ideas, ready to listen and willing to learn.
It only needs your patient hearing and a very small amount to test the waters. If it clicks, you will hit a jackpot. If it does not, there will be hardly any effect on your net worth and business. Heads you win, and tails you do not lose either.
The Seven Steps
-
Step 1: Open a demat account
First, open a demat account with Nuvama Wealth with a minimum of 1.5 lakhs.
-
Step 2: Observe the performance
Observe its performance on a weekly and monthly basis.
-
Step 3: Review the returns
If it delivers returns of 20% or more on a monthly basis, only then will we consider going ahead. Otherwise, we will drop the idea.
However, we do not give any guarantee, as results depend completely on market conditions. Our role is limited to providing education, coaching and mentoring on trading discipline and entry and exit setups, along with tight risk management. If the strategy is implemented as taught, with ironclad discipline, results are bound to come.
-
Step 4: Increase the capital gradually
If you find the performance satisfactory, you can gradually increase the capital to 5, 10 or 15 lakhs, or more.
If the returns are consistent, you can increase the capital to whatever amount you consider important for your financial freedom, and put half of the amount in a guaranteed balanced fund that will give you a monthly income.
-
Step 5: Plan for guaranteed income
Our most important goal is to create a lifestyle without any loan liabilities and without dependency on a job or business. For this, we must plan for guaranteed income through this trading venture.
We will buy a plan that not only secures our monthly returns but also increases over time to keep up with inflation.
-
Step 6: Fund the plan from trading income
We will buy this plan with the entire amount subsidised by our trading income. If there is no trading income, we will not buy it in the first place.
We will provide complete handholding until your desired investment amount has been generated, and until its gains start coming to you on a regular basis.
-
Step 7: Become self-dependent
If you invest a sizeable amount, we will help you learn all the nuts and bolts of this wonderful business so that you can become self-dependent. Only 24 months are needed to become financially free if it clicks. After that, you will not need any assistance, as money will keep coming in on an autopilot basis.
However, please understand that risk is always present in the markets, and you should always risk only the amount you can afford to lose.

What we do
Two disciplines. Zero guesswork.
Rajeev works with people across trading education and loan management — different subjects, same non-negotiable rule: you don't act until you understand exactly what you're getting into.
Trading Discipline & Psychology
The structured thinking for entries, exits and everything between them — the exact discipline most courses skip because it doesn't sell as easily as a "strategy."
Option Buying Education
Calls, puts, premium and time decay — mastered before you risk a single rupee of capital, not after.
Loan Management Support
Every option compared, every document explained — none of the sales pressure you get standing at a bank counter.
Ongoing Learning
Traders Corner and the blog keep the education going long after one conversation ends.
Lending, handled honestly
Loan Management
Every year, borrowers overpay because they signed before they understood. Rajeev makes sure that's not you — comparing lenders, decoding the fine print, and assembling your documentation with you, step by step, without steering you toward a decision that isn't yours to make.
- Understanding what you actually need, before comparing products
- Documentation guidance, explained in plain language
- Support that continues until the process is actually closed
For the discipline side of trading
Traders Corner
Most of what separates traders who last from traders who blow up happens before the trade — position sizing, risk tolerance, the discipline to sit out when there's no edge. That's what gets built here. Inside it: a full, no-mystery breakdown of Option Buying — calls, puts, premium, time decay, in order, with the risk stated plainly at every step.
- Risk management frameworks, not tips
- Option Buying, taught from first principles
- No "buy this now" calls — ever
Trader psychology
"The trade you don't take is sometimes the best decision you make all week."
Options carry real risk
A bought option can expire worthless — premium paid is money at risk from the moment the trade is placed. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
Why iTradeWithTrust
Every other "advisor" is selling you something. Rajeev isn't.

- Promises of guaranteed returns or guaranteed loan approval
- Pressure to decide before you're ready
What guides every conversation
- Plain-language education, first
- Risk stated clearly, every single time
- Your pace, your decision — always

Stop guessing with your money. Start with a conversation.
