Madhup explains why he wrote this book after 12+ years of trading

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You started trading because someone said "quick money" — and lost your capital instead
  • You've watched YouTube videos about options trading, tried it, and the math never worked
  • You earn well, but at the end of the month, there's nothing to show for it
  • Everyone gives you "tips" — nobody explains the full picture
  • You know you should be investing, but you don't know where to start
  • You've told yourself 'just one more trade' more times than you can count.
  • And SEBI's data shows why: the longer you trade, the worse it gets. In SEBI's latest study, 96.5% of traders with four consecutive years in F&O were net loss-makers.*

If you nodded at even one of these — keep reading.

117 pages. 15 chapters. Zero hype.

The book is divided into three parts:

PART ONE: The Trap (Ch 1–5)

Why fast money fails — the psychology, the math, and the stories.

  • Ch 1: The Statement You Never Opened — The moment you realize the truth about your trading account
  • Ch 2: The Lottery Ticket Logic — Why options premiums always work against you
  • Ch 3: The Leverage Trap — How borrowed money turns small losses into disasters
  • Ch 4: The Dopamine Dashboard — The chemical trap that keeps you coming back to losses
  • Ch 5: The Casino Mirror — What F&O has in common with gambling
PART TWO: The Gap (Ch 6–9)

Real stories of people who won big and lost bigger.

  • Ch 6: The Win That Costs You Everything — Harshad Mehta's rise and fall
  • Ch 7: The Professional's Edge — Why institutions always win and retail always loses
  • Ch 8: Timing the Untimeable — The 2008 crash, the COVID crash, and why nobody times the market
  • Ch 9: The Quiet Drag — The hidden costs that eat your returns year after year
PART THREE: The Slow Road (Ch 10–15 + Epilogue)

A step-by-step framework for building real wealth — slowly.

  • Ch 10: The Boring Account — Your first step away from the casino
  • Ch 11: The First Habit — How to start in 10 minutes
  • Ch 12: The Eighth Wonder — How ₹15,000/month can grow into ₹1 crore over 20 years (illustrative example, not a guaranteed return)
  • Ch 13: Holding Ground — What to do when the market crashes (and it will)
  • Ch 14: The Boring Portfolio — The portfolio that quietly outperforms 90% of traders
  • Ch 15: The Boring Life — What wealth actually looks like when you stop chasing
  • Epilogue: A letter from the author

AMFI-Registered Mutual Fund Distributor (ARN: 153266)

Madhup Kulshrestha is not a celebrity finfluencer. He's an engineer who learned the stock market the hard way — and spent a decade on the inside before writing this book.

He completed his B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (2012) and M.Tech (2014), including a project sponsored by ISRO at IISc Bangalore. In 2014, he started his stock market journey — picking multibagger stocks, moving to intraday trading, and eventually into options trading.

Over the years, he developed two index options trading strategies that sold over 8,000 copies combined — and built a YouTube following of 125,000+ subscribers. His Penny Plus Stocks video has crossed 350,000 views. He has trained more than 6,500 students through his courses at pradivyam.com.

And after 12+ years of trading, he's telling you to stop.

Why? Because he's seen the numbers — SEBI's data shows nearly 9 out of 10 F&O traders lose money.* He's watched intelligent people lose lakhs chasing the next big trade. And he's learned that the real money isn't made in options premiums — it's made slowly, quietly, boringly.

The Boring Millionaire is his honest attempt to show what YouTube videos and Instagram reels can't: the complete picture of why fast money fails, and a practical, step-by-step path to building real wealth the slow way.
