On the morning of July 20, Aryan Tiwari sat in front of his computer half an hour earlier than usual.
He carefully rechecked the market forecast and fundamental data for Amul Foods Ltd inside KaalDrishti. Every number was the same as last night. No changes.
To be extra cautious, he opened a financial news website and scanned the latest updates from the consumer goods sector.
There was no bad news.
Instead, one headline made him relax even more:
"Prolonged heatwave across multiple states boosts dairy product sales by 12% year-on-year."
Aryan nodded.
Looks solid.
At 9:30 AM, the market opened.
Opening price: ₹31.92
Perfectly matching the app's prediction.
Aryan immediately went all in.
With ₹4,001.69, he bought 125 shares at ₹31.92 (₹3,990 total). His remaining balance dropped to ₹10.47.
After the order was completed, Aryan opened the Transaction History page and stared at the line:
Bought 125 shares of Amul Foods Ltd at ₹31.92
Only after seeing it did he finally feel at ease.
He closed the app and picked up a stock-trading book he had borrowed earlier. But after reading barely two pages, restlessness crept in.
He sighed and reopened the market screen.
Around 10:00 AM, something unexpected happened.
The stock price suddenly dipped.
₹32.05 → ₹31.78
Almost a 1% drop.
Aryan's heart jumped.
His palms became sweaty.
"This wasn't in the prediction…"
He immediately opened KaalDrishti again. The line chart still showed a slow upward trend, ending at ₹32.85 by market close.
But reality was falling.
Could the app be wrong?
His finger hovered over the Sell button.
Cut loss now?Or trust the app again?
Just then, his phone rang.
An unknown local number.
He hesitated, then answered.
"Hello, may I speak to Mr. Aryan Tiwari?" a gentle female voice asked.
"Yes, speaking. Who is this?" Aryan replied impatiently, eyes still locked on the screen.
"Hello, Mr. Tiwari. I'm Neha Verma, client relationship manager from Axis Securities, Noida Branch. We noticed your recent trades and good returns, so I wanted to check if you need any assistance."
Aryan was stunned.
They noticed me? With just four thousand rupees?
"Oh… no, nothing needed. Thank you," he replied absent-mindedly.
Neha didn't hang up.
"Mr. Tiwari, I noticed the stocks you traded recently—Chirag Biotech, Surya Testing, Eve Energy—all were bought near lows and sold near highs. Do you follow any special strategy?"
Aryan's heart sank.
Too accurate… this could raise suspicion.
"No strategy," he replied quickly. "Just luck. I buy randomly."
Neha laughed softly. "Luck doesn't work this well every time. Your capital is small right now, but you could diversify later. Also, we're holding a free investment seminar this weekend with senior analysts. You're welcome to attend."
Aryan thought for a moment.
Learning more wouldn't hurt—and building a relationship with the brokerage could be useful later.
"Alright. When is it?"
"This Sunday, 2 PM, third-floor conference hall. I'll reserve a seat for you."
After chatting briefly, the call ended.
Aryan turned back to his screen.
₹31.72 → ₹31.95
The price was rebounding.
He finally breathed out.
Just a short-term fluctuation.
By market close, Amul Foods reached ₹32.85—exactly as predicted.
His unrealized profit crossed ₹116.
The weight on his chest lifted completely.
On July 21, the stock continued rising.
By noon: ₹33.56
By 3:00 PM close: ₹33.88
Aryan immediately sold all 125 shares.
After fees, his account balance became:
₹4,232.15
He had earned ₹230 this round.
Total capital now exceeded ₹4,200.
Aryan smiled.
Then he opened KaalDrishti again.
This time, he chose the stock he had skipped earlier—
Rudra Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
The app displayed future data clearly:
Buy: July 23 open at ₹51.65
Peak: ₹54.23 on July 24 (around 2 PM)
Sell before: 2 PM, July 24
Fundamental data followed:
P/E: 35 (Industry avg: 40)
P/B: 5.2 (Industry avg: 6.1)
Net profit growth: 28% (Industry avg: 22%)
Excellent numbers.
With ₹4,232, Aryan calculated he could buy 81 shares.
High price.Higher returns.
He decided to go all in again.
On the morning of July 23, the opening price appeared:
₹51.65
Exactly as predicted.
Aryan bought 81 shares.
Balance left: ₹46.98
This time, he didn't keep staring at the screen.
Instead, he opened his notebook and began recording:
Buy & sell time
Prices
Profit
Sector
Fundamental data
He wanted to understand the pattern, not just rely on the app.
By market close, Rudra Pharmaceuticals rose to ₹52.87, giving him nearly ₹99 in unrealized gains.
Looking at his notes, a clear idea formed in his mind:
Positive news + strong fundamentals = higher probability of rise.
Aryan shut down the computer and walked toward the kitchen.
As he passed the window, he remembered the investment seminar this weekend.
For the first time in months, he felt excited about learning.
His life was no longer drifting.
He was building something—step by step, trade by trade.
