Share market classes in Pune: every question answered

Fees are shared at your free demo class or on WhatsApp, along with exactly what each plan includes. Group and 1-to-1 both include recordings, notes and doubt sessions, and instalments are available.

No. We teach analysis and risk management so you can make your own decisions. We are an education institute, not an investment adviser, and we don't run tip groups of any kind.

Not at all. Most students start with Equity Market Basics and have never placed an order. We begin with how the market works and build from there.

Yes. Every batch runs live online alongside the classroom, so you can ask questions in real time. All sessions are recorded too.

Yes. Concepts are explained in Marathi and English. Charting terms stay in English because that's how you'll see them on screen.

We run weekend batches on Saturday and Sunday mornings and weekday evening batches after 7:30 pm. The batches list above shows the next start dates.

You get the recording the same day, plus the notes. You can bring your questions to the next weekly doubt session.

A laptop helps for chart practice, but a phone is enough for the first few weeks. We'll show you the free tools we use in class.

No. We've designed the pace so college students, working professionals and retirees can all keep up. You need to be 18 or older to open a demat account.

Yes. You get a Stock Classes Pune course completion certificate once you finish the course and its assignments.

We don't offer refunds once a course has started. That's why every student can attend a free demo lecture first, so you see exactly how we teach before you decide to join.

Yes. You attend a full demo lecture in person or online, and we don't ask for any payment details.

If you've never placed an order, start with Equity Market Basics. If you know the basics, choose Technical Analysis for trading or Fundamental Analysis for investing. The quick finder at the top of this page, or a free demo lecture, will point you to the right one.

Each course runs 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the topic. Basics, Swing and Long-Term Investing are 4 weeks, Fundamental Analysis is 5 weeks, Intraday is 5 weeks (4 weeks of classroom training plus 1 week of live market analysis), and Technical Analysis and Derivatives + Options are 6 weeks.

You can, but we usually suggest one at a time with practice in between. Most students finish one course, practise for a couple of weeks, then start the next step on their path.

Yes. Every course runs live online alongside the classroom in Katraj. Online students get the same notes, recordings and weekly doubt sessions.

Yes. Every course can be taken in English or Marathi. Chart and indicator names stay in English, the way they appear on trading platforms.

No. Most people who attend have never placed a trade. The demo is designed for complete beginners as well as people who have traded a little and want a proper process.

Yes. You can join the demo lecture live online from anywhere. It's the same class as the one in our Katraj classroom, and you can ask questions in real time.

Both. Tell us your preference when you book. Concepts can be explained in Marathi, while chart terms stay in English as you'll see them on screen.

No. We are an education institute, not a SEBI-registered adviser. We teach how the market works and how to plan a trade. We never recommend what to buy or sell.

Just a notebook and your questions. If you're joining online, a laptop is better than a phone for seeing the charts clearly.

Sharad Gaikwad is the founder and trainer at Stock Classes Pune. He traded US equities for more than ten years on professional desk platforms and now teaches share market courses in Katraj, Pune and online.

No. Sharad is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser or research analyst. That's why he only teaches. He doesn't give tips, calls or advice on what to buy or sell.

Yes. He teaches every batch, runs the weekly doubt sessions and reviews students' practice sheets. There's no hand-off to other trainers.

Yes. Sharad teaches in both English and Marathi, and students can ask questions in either language. Chart and indicator names stay in English, as they appear on screen.

Price charts, risk and discipline work the same way in every market. The habits Sharad used on US desks apply directly to NSE and BSE, and all course examples use Indian market data.

They are built for people who already know the basics. If you have never used a chart, start with our Equity Market Basics course first. It covers shares, orders, indices and demat accounts. Many students take both courses back to back, and the demo class helps you decide where to start.

You will be able to read a price chart on your own, mark the support and resistance levels that matter, choose a setup and write a trade plan with an entry, a stop loss and a target. You will also have a trade journal habit, so you can review what worked and what didn't.

The course runs for 6 weeks, one module a week. Weekend batches meet on Saturday and Sunday, and weekday batches meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. There is also a weekly one-hour online doubt session. New batches start every month.

No. Classroom practice uses past charts, and students paper-trade each setup before they think about using real money. The one live element is the final week of the intraday course, a live market analysis class where Sharad walks through the market as it moves. That is analysis for learning: we never give buy or sell calls or tips, and nobody places trades in class.

No. This course teaches you to read charts on any timeframe. Our intraday trading classes build on it with market timing, momentum, intraday stop losses and position sizing for trades that close the same day. Most students do technical analysis first and then pick intraday or swing trading.

Only after the basics. If you've never used a chart, start with Equity Market Basics and Technical Analysis first. Intraday is fast, and without those foundations the lessons won't stick. Many students do all three in order.

Yes, ideally. This course assumes you can read candlesticks and mark support and resistance. If you can't yet, our Technical Analysis course covers it in six weeks and leads straight into this one.

No one can promise that, and we don't. Most intraday traders lose money. The course teaches you a process and strict risk rules so that if you trade, your losses stay small and controlled.

It runs for 5 weeks: 4 weeks of classroom training, one module a week, then 1 week of live market analysis. Weekend batches meet on Saturday and Sunday, and weekday batches meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. New batches start every month.

Yes. Every batch runs live online alongside the Katraj classroom, with recordings of every session shared the same day.

No. This is our advanced course. You should understand market basics and technical analysis first. If you're new, start with Equity Market Basics and Technical Analysis, then come to options with a strong foundation.

Yes. The first two weeks cover futures, lot sizes, margin, leverage, open interest and rollover. The next four weeks cover options, the Greeks, strategies and hedging.

Yes. SEBI's studies have found that around nine out of ten individual F&O traders lose money. This course teaches you how the contracts work and how to define your maximum loss, so you understand the risk before you take it.

Yes, we cover how option selling works and why it carries large risk. Every selling strategy is taught with a hedge, so the maximum loss is always defined.

It runs for 6 weeks, one module a week. Weekend batches meet on Saturday and Sunday, and weekday batches meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. New batches start every month.

Yes, but only through exchange-traded currency derivatives on NSE, BSE or MSE, using a SEBI-registered broker, in permitted currency pairs. Trading on offshore forex websites or apps, or funding them from India, is not permitted for residents.

Yes, on Indian exchanges. NSE and BSE offer contracts on cross-currency pairs like EUR-USD, GBP-USD and USD-JPY, settled in rupees. You cannot trade these pairs on offshore platforms.

It's a list published by the Reserve Bank of India of forex trading platforms and websites that are not authorised to deal in forex in India. Check it before using any forex app.

Most offshore brokers offering MetaTrader accounts to Indian residents are not authorised. The software itself isn't the issue. Using it to trade forex with an offshore broker, from India, is. Always use a SEBI-registered broker and an Indian exchange.

No. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme does not allow remittances for margin trading or trading forex on foreign platforms. Speak to your bank or a chartered accountant if you're unsure.

It's for anyone who wants to grow savings over years without trading: working professionals, homemakers, retirees and young earners. You don't need any market experience, although Equity Market Basics first is helpful.

Both, and more. We cover shares, index and active mutual funds, FDs, debt funds, bonds and gold, and how they fit together in one portfolio based on your goals.

A SIP invests a fixed amount regularly. An STP moves money gradually from one fund to another, often from debt to equity. An SWP withdraws a fixed amount regularly, which is useful in retirement. We cover when to use each.

Yes. We cover how to generate regular income safely, how debt funds and bonds work, and how to use SWPs. Classes are calm and available in Marathi.

It runs for 4 weeks, one module a week. Weekend batches meet on Saturday and Sunday, and weekday batches meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. New batches start every month.

Fundamental analysis means judging a company by its business: how it makes money, how strong its finances are and what it's roughly worth. Investors use it to decide whether a share price makes sense for the long term.

No. We explain every statement and ratio in plain words, and there's no heavy maths. If you can read a household budget, you can learn to read a profit and loss statement.

Mainly for investors who hold shares for months or years. Traders also find it useful for avoiding weak companies, but it isn't about short-term price moves.

It depends on your goal. For long-term investing, start here after Equity Market Basics. For trading, start with Technical Analysis. Many students eventually do both.

It runs for 5 weeks, one module a week. Weekend batches meet on Saturday and Sunday, and weekday batches meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. New batches start every month.

Yes. You don't need any knowledge of the market, finance or maths. We start with what a share is and build up slowly. Most students in this batch have never placed an order.

No. We explain how to choose a SEBI-registered broker and open a demat account in week 2. Many students open their account during the course with our help.

Both, at a basic level. You'll understand how each works and which suits you. After this, you can choose Technical Analysis for trading or Fundamental Analysis and Long-Term Investing for investing.

Yes. The pace is calm, questions are welcome, and classes are available in Marathi. Many students join to understand family savings, FDs and mutual funds better.

It runs for 4 weeks, one module a week. Weekend batches meet on Saturday and Sunday, and weekday batches meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. New batches start every month.

We answer calls and WhatsApp messages from 10 am to 7 pm. Messages sent outside these hours get a reply the next morning.

The classroom is in Katraj, Pune. We share the exact location pin on WhatsApp when we confirm your visit or demo lecture.

Please message or call first so we can make sure Sharad is free to meet you, since he teaches every batch himself.

No. We are an education institute, not a SEBI-registered adviser. We'll happily answer questions about our courses, but we never share tips or calls.
