How I Made ₹1,000 Profit from Just ₹100 Capital (My Personal Trading Story)

   How I Made ₹1,000 Profit from Just ₹100 Capital (My Personal Trading Story)

When I first started trading, I had only ₹100 in my account. Most people would laugh and say, “You can’t do anything with that.” But I saw it as a challenge. I wanted to test my skills and discipline, to see if I could turn a tiny amount into a meaningful profit.

In this blog, I’ll share exactly how I took ₹100 and grew it to ₹1,000 — that’s a 10x return, and yes, it is possible if you stick to strict rules and a smart plan.

📌 Step 1: Choosing the Right Instrument

With such a small amount, trading things like stocks was difficult because of high brokerage and margin requirements. So I decided to trade options on Bank Nifty, where I could buy cheap out-of-the-money options with a very small capital.

Options are risky, but with ₹100, there is not much to lose, and there’s potential to gain fast if the trade goes in your favor.

📌 Step 2: Spotting the Opportunity

I did not jump randomly. Instead, I watched Bank Nifty for two days and identified strong support and resistance levels. I also checked for news events that could move the market — things like RBI policy or US inflation data.

I found a setup where Bank Nifty was holding a key support, and there was a chance of a sharp bounce. That is when I decided to enter with ₹100 worth of a call option.

📌 Step 3: Strict Risk Control

The biggest reason small traders fail is overtrading or refusing to accept losses. I told myself “If this ₹100 goes, let it go. But I will not add more.” That’s the discipline part.

Even though ₹100 is small, I treated it with respect and avoided chasing more positions. No revenge trading.

📌 Step 4: Managing the Trade

When my option started to go in profit, I did not close too quickly. I waited for my levels to get hit, as per my original plan.

At one point, my ₹100 option reached ₹1,000 — a full 10x move — because Bank Nifty had a powerful bounce after support held.

I exited as soon as I saw weakness coming in, and locked the profit.

🧠 Final Thoughts

People think you need huge capital to succeed. That’s not fully true. Small amounts can grow if you trade with a plan, manage your risk, and follow the rules.

Of course, I do not recommend everyone trade with ₹100, because options can expire worthless. But if you want to practice discipline and test your skills, even tiny capital can teach you powerful lessons.

Remember, trading is about mindset and risk control more than the money itself. If you can protect ₹100, you can protect ₹1,00,000 in the future.
