From US trading desks to a Pune classroom
For more than a decade, Sharad's working day followed the US market. He traded American equities on professional desk platforms like Takion and Hammer, where you learn quickly that nobody is coming to rescue a bad trade. Reading price and volume as it printed, planning every entry before it happened and cutting losses without argument were not ideas from a book. They were the job.
Over those years he also saw the other side of the market in India. Friends, relatives and colleagues were joining tip groups, paying for "sure shot" calls and losing money they couldn't afford to lose. Most of them were intelligent people. What they were missing wasn't intelligence. It was a process, and someone willing to teach it honestly.
That's why he started Stock Classes Pune. The idea was a small institute with a real classroom in Katraj, a syllabus written down before anyone pays, and a teacher who stays with the batch from the first class to the last. Every course he teaches is built around the same habits he used on the desk: plan first, size small, and review everything afterwards, especially the losing trades.
