🎓 IIT Kanpur Alumnus 🏦 Ex-Barclays & RBS 📊 SEBI Registered RA ⏱ 16+ Yrs in Markets 💹 Full-Time Trader

Most market educators teach from theory. I trade from conviction — with my own capital, every single day. I am a full-time trader and investor. Not a full-time content creator. Not a full-time educator. A full-time market participant who also shares his analytical framework publicly because serious traders deserve serious research, not noise.

I am an IIT Kanpur alumnus with over 16 years in financial markets. I have worked in institutional research roles at Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland — two of the world's largest banks — where I was exposed to how global institutional money actually thinks about markets, risk, and positioning. That institutional lens is what I now apply to Indian equity and options markets every single trading session.

There is one question I get asked constantly: why follow you specifically? My answer is simple — I follow my own analysis with real money every day. When the count is right, I benefit. When it needs revision, I update it publicly. That accountability is something no one who only teaches can ever offer you.

The methodology

How I analyse markets

Three frameworks combined into one structured daily process — the same process I apply with my own capital every trading day.

🌊

Elliott Wave Theory

The structural backbone. Every market move is a wave — impulse or corrective. Knowing which wave you are in changes every analytical and trading decision. I apply EWT to Nifty 50, BankNifty, Midcap, and over 200 individual stocks.

📊

Options Data — PCR & OI

Put-Call Ratio and Open Interest data reveals what institutional options writers are positioned for — before most retail traders understand what is happening. Combined with wave structure, this gives both direction and conviction.

🌐

Macro & Global Flows

DXY, SGX Nifty, US futures, VIX, and global sector rotation all feed into the morning framework. Markets do not move in isolation — understanding the macro context is what separates structured analysis from chart reading.

Who this is for

What you can expect from my research

✓

Structured pre-market framework before every session — not reactive commentary after the fact

✓

Elliott Wave counts that are updated publicly — when I revise a count, I say so

✓

PCR and OI data interpreted in context — not just numbers, but what they mean for direction

✓

Global macro cues integrated every morning — DXY, SGX Nifty, US futures, VIX

✓

Nifty, BankNifty, Gold, Silver — daily coverage across all four

✓

No guaranteed returns, no tips, no hype — just rigorous, structured analysis

This research is NOT for people looking for stock tips, guaranteed returns, or someone to tell them exactly what to buy and sell. If that is what you need — this is not the right place.
