2020 brought a wave of new investors into the market, people with time on their hands and curiosity about building a second income. Since then, participation has only grown, especially among young, first-time traders. But data from SEBI also shows something worth pausing on: most traders who jump in without a defined method struggle to see consistent results, while a smaller group, those who follow a specific setup with clear risk management, have built real, repeatable success.
"In my own experience mentoring traders since 2018, I've seen this play out closely: 98% or more give up entirely within the first three years, usually right around the point where consistency was about to take hold. The ones who stayed the course, kept learning, and stuck to a method were the ones who eventually saw it pay off."

That's the real difference: not talent, not luck, but the ability to sustain the right method long enough for it to work. One GM Mentorship is built around exactly that: six months of structured learning and hand-holding, so you don't quit before the method has a chance to prove itself.
