Before I tell you about my story, let me tell you a brief introduction to the stock market. Usually, when I tell someone about the stock market, their first reaction is that it is a kind of gambling and there is a lot of risks and it can crash anytime. But if you ask me, I will tell you that it's not gambling at all, it is very similar to any other business where you have to observe, research, analyse and execute accordingly.

About‌ ‌the‌ ‌stock‌ ‌market‌ ‌and‌ ‌its‌ ‌research‌ ‌analysis‌ ‌types.

The stock market is a kind of mirror of any economy, if the economy of any country is good, the stocks are going to perform well as the prices of the company will be rising as they will be in profit. So the stock market is also a very similar kind of business where you need to analyse whether the stock is good and it will give you returns. Overall in stock market there are four types of research analysis.

A) Fundamental Analysis: It includes deep research of a company, i.e. balance sheet, debt, work order, liabilities, assets, cash in hand, management, future plans and much more.

B) Technical Analysis: It includes analysis of charts of the company, deep analysis of trading patterns, charts, structural patterns with lot of technical parameters such as exponential moving average, relative strength index, volume, stochastic, Bollinger bands, trend lines, parabolic SAR, super trend and many more. It's mostly inspired by Japanese techniques of chart patterns.

C) Data Analysis: It includes data research of the company and their stock trading screens. This constitutes data and its analysis like open interest, volume, implied volatility, change in open interest, option chain, price fluctuations and premium and discount of future price, intra burst theory, volatility index and much more.

D) Option Greeks: It includes deep research of few technical terms which are known as theta, vega, gamma, rho and it mainly teaches the use of these four things for any future price of any stock and it also teaches the use of implied volatility, payoff graph, it's mostly used for hedging strategies.

Hello, I am Pradeep Shinde. By profession, I am a full-time stock trader and a SEBI enabled research analyst. Basically, I was a student of engineering in electronics and telecommunication, which I left in between as I was least interested in it. It was pure family pressure due to which I was doing engineering and there was no personal interest. I am writing this blog just to create awareness about the stock market as a career and because there was no such thing as career counselling, when I was young, a decade ago.

After I left my engineering, I was interested in stock markets as they always fascinated me since my teenage. I decided to learn the stock market through one of my friend’s dad. I started investing my savings into it and I started making very small profits and at the time of losses, I realized that I should learn completely about it. Then I joined BSE institute certified course in association of Jai Hind College and did bachelors in Capital Markets. The duration of the course is 3 years and it teaches every aspect of Indian stock markets and world economics and how it works in a simplified manner. Along with this course, I actively pursued trading with and managed to survive without initial capital loss. Once I completed the course, I started working as a sub-broker with Angel Broking.

But sooner, I realized that there is a lot of differences in bookish knowledge and real-time trading knowledge. Luckily through a friend, I got an opportunity to work as an intern with a great research analyst. I was lucky, the analyst shared with me a lot of techniques and formulas which he himself had discovered over a period of 9 years. Having a great mentor in any phase of your life, changes the way you work, the way you think and the way you analyse and execute. That was the game changer of my life. And because of his big name, I got another job opportunity in Religare as a data analyst. There my role was to analyze the data given by the company through technical analysis, fundamental analysis and option greeks.

Becoming‌ ‌a‌ ‌certified‌ ‌research‌ ‌analyst‌ ‌and‌ ‌full-time‌ ‌trader.

I worked for Religare for 15 months and I learned various techniques and formulas under all the sections. Later I took a certification course of NISM, Equity derivatives and cleared it with 72%. Finally, I became a certified research analyst and could switch from one company to another with good appraisals. After working for more than 4 years, I decided that I will do my own business. In 2015, I opened my own firm for portfolio management services. As of now, I am a sub-broker, a full-time trader, a certified financial planner, a SEBI enabled research analyst. My vision is to change the perception of the stock market. If anyone still have doubts, he can talk to me personally through CareerNaksha and I can show him how to build a smart career in stock market.
