I am an options trader based in Melbourne,
Australia. The trading approach I create is very much simplistic but
mathematically and technically inspired. My fund’s consistently up trending
equity curve is driven by the passion I put in my work. Trading has taken away
a lot of things from me, things such as emotional volatility, unfocused
attitude, and de trop bias, in return it has given me resilience, focus, and
happiness.
At the age of 21, I was trading almost every
derivate based asset class in the Indian markets. After the fall of 2008, I
thought about quitting approximately 5000 times (and that’s a lowball
estimate). But despite the high losses, low confidence, mental fatigue and
bearish news flow overdose I kept on going. I’m that person. Once I say I’ll do
something, it will happen.
Presently,
I hold the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) and the Certified Financial
Technician (CFTe) charters. To add to that, I hold two master’s degrees (Master
of Business Administration (MBA– Finance) and Master of Financial Analysis (MFA
– Risk)) from La Trobe University in Melbourne. I have been a contributor for
Traders planet, have worked as a volunteer for Market Technicians Association
(MTA), and am serving as a board member for Association of Technical Market
Analysts (ATMA). I am the co-founder of a Melbourne based hedge fund by the
name of ‘Euler Capital’, and co-founder of a Noida based Quant fund by the name
of ‘The Multiplier’. Want to know more about me and my
work then you can follow me on twitter @gunjanduaa
