MARKET EXPOSURE & TRADING EXPERIENCE
Independent Market Participant & Trading Student
• Accumulated 7+ years of continuous exposure to live financial markets, progressing from
market observation to structured strategy evaluation.
• Regularly tracked equities, index futures, and derivatives, focusing on price action, volume dynamics,
volatility shifts, and liquidity behavior.
• Applied technical analysis, risk–reward frameworks, stop-loss discipline, and position sizing logic across
different market regimes.
• Developed emotional control and probabilistic thinking through real market feedback,
drawdowns, and post-trade analysis.
QUANTITATIVE & MARKET PROJECTS:
Stock Market Prediction & Strategy Research
• Analyzed historical equity and derivatives market data using time-series techniques to study price behavior,
volatility, and trend persistence.
• Engineered features from OHLC prices, volume, moving averages, and momentum indicators to evaluate
their impact on market behavior.
• Built and evaluated predictive models using Python, focusing on error analysis (RMSE) and understanding
model limitations in live trading scenarios.
• Shifted emphasis from prediction accuracy to risk-aware decision making and regime analysis, recognizing the
role of uncertainty in markets.
Algorithmic Trading Simulation & Back testing
● Designed a Python-based back testing framework to simulate rule-based trading strategies on historical market
data.
● Implemented entry–exit logic, transaction costs, and drawdown tracking to assess real-world strategy viability.
● Evaluated strategy performance using PnL, win–loss ratio, and drawdown metrics across different volatility
conditions.
● Analyzed how market regimes and volatility shifts influence strategy robustness and execution outcomes.
