The session focused on bridging the gap between textbook finance and real-world market discipline — something most students never experience during their academic journey. With 24 years of market experience, an MBA in Financial Markets from NSE Academy, and 15+ NSE certifications, Vicky Mehta didn’t just present strategies; he shared honest lessons — of early losses, systematic learning, disciplined recovery, and the mindset shift required for informed market participation.

“When I first entered the stock market at 14 with ₹5,000, I didn’t have structured guidance or mentorship. I made every mistake possible,” Vicky shared with students. “That painful learning process — spanning 24 years — is what I’m compressing into frameworks that today’s students can actually apply. I want to give them the systematic approach I wish I’d had.”

The workshop covered essential foundational topics:

• Market psychology — Understanding fear, greed, and FOMO in decision-making
• Technical analysis fundamentals — What indicators actually measure (and when they fail)
• Live chart analysis — Identifying patterns vs recognizing randomness
• Risk management essentials — The 2% rule and position sizing that 70% of beginners ignore

But more importantly, it challenged common misconceptions and emphasized what textbooks skip: discipline, emotional control, and knowing when NOT to trade.

Many attendees described it as eye-opening, with one engineering student noting, “For the first time, I understood that successful trading isn’t about predictions or tips — it’s about systematic risk management and disciplined execution. That completely changed my perspective.”

Another student added, “We always hear about ‘making money in markets,’ but nobody talks about the discipline required or why most people lose money initially. This session was refreshingly honest.”

Educational workshops like Trading Seekho represent more than knowledge transfer — they’re about developing financially literate, risk-aware thinkers who understand that markets reward preparation and discipline, not luck or shortcuts.
