School of Market.
Everything a first-time Indian trader wishes she was told before her first buy order — plain language, real examples, zero jargon. Start here if the market still feels like a foreign language.
What is a stock?
From paper share to demat account. What you actually own when you buy Reliance.
NSE, BSE and MCX
The three exchanges of India. What each one trades, why it matters, how they clear.
Equity, F&O, Commodity, Currency
The four instrument segments in India and the risk profile of each.
Cash market vs derivatives
Spot, futures and options — three ways to bet on the same move.
Reading a chart
Candles, patterns, support and resistance — the visual language of price.
Trading sessions & circuit filters
Pre-open, continuous, closing, LC/UC bands — the rhythm of an Indian trading day.
STT, GST, brokerage — the true cost
Every rupee you pay to trade one lot of Nifty. Break it down. Then decide.

IPOs and listings
From DRHP to listing day. The Indian IPO process, front to back.
