Day 1: Orientation and the Basics
The first session felt like hitting reset. No jargon, no pressure. Just:
- What is the stock market?
- How does it work?
- What type of traders and investors exist?
Smart Disha Academy gave us a clear overview without assuming we knew anything. It felt welcoming—not overwhelming.
Day 2–3: Demystifying Demat and Market Access
Next, we got into the practical stuff:
- How to open a Demat account
- Choosing the right broker
- Understanding market hours and exchanges (NSE/BSE)
It wasn’t just theory—they gave real screenshots, walkthroughs, and helped answer live questions.
Day 4–5: Intro to Charts and Price Movement
This is when things started getting real.
We looked at candlesticks for the first time and learned:
- What each candle tells you
- How price reflects psychology
- Why trends matter more than news
I’ll be honest—I didn’t grasp it all at once. But the pace was just right.
Day 6: Q&A and Recap
By the end of the first week, Smart Disha Academy hosted a live Q&A to address all the initial doubts.
This helped a lot. Sometimes what you need isn’t more content—it’s someone to say, “Yes, you’re on the right track.”
What I Realized After Week One
- You don’t need a finance background to understand markets
- Real education feels slower—but it sticks
- Learning with others is motivating
I wasn’t trying to “beat the market” anymore. I was trying to understand it. And that’s the shift that makes all the difference.
Tips to Make the Most of Your First Week
- Come with a notebook and curiosity
- Don’t be afraid to ask “basic” questions
- Rewatch the recorded sessions (trust me, it helps)
- Try to apply small concepts immediately, even in paper trading
Final Thought
The first week at Smart Disha Academy wasn’t intense or overwhelming. It was thoughtful, well-paced, and perfectly designed to build a foundation.
If you’re nervous about whether you’ll “get it” or not—relax. You will.
Because the first step to trading confidently isn’t jumping into the charts. It’s understanding what you’re looking at in the first place.
And with the right academy, your first week won’t just teach you—it’ll excite you for what’s coming next.
