About this network

Free, rigorous, India-focused markets education — built by one person, funded by nobody.

Our mission

Too many people in India trade before they understand what they are trading. The material aimed at retail traders is often too shallow, too jargon-heavy, or thinly disguised marketing for tips. This network is the opposite of that — calm, structured, advertisement-free reference libraries that teach the theory and, above all, the risk, using Indian-market examples.

The ten sites

OptionsGyan — Start here if options are new: what a call and a put really are, how the option chain works, and how premium, strike and expiry fit together.
GreeksGyan — Master the option Greeks — Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega and Rho — with formulas, original diagrams and Nifty worked examples.
StrategyGyan — Every option and futures strategy, explained properly — payoff diagrams, Greek exposure, and the maximum loss stated as a formula and as a number.
IndicatorsGyan — The Wikipedia of technical indicators — RSI, MACD, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, ATR, ADX and more, for the Indian market.
VolatilityGyan — The Wikipedia of volatility — implied, historical and realised vol, the smile, the skew, the surface, the term structure and India VIX, with computed diagrams and free calculators.
ExpiryGyan — Everything that happens when a contract expires — weekly and monthly expiry, cash vs physical settlement, pin risk, max pain and the Greeks near expiry, with original diagrams, tools and Nifty examples.
AlgoTradeGyan — The Wikipedia of algorithmic trading — strategy design, trading-system architecture, risk management, execution, market data and broker-API automation, with original diagrams, calculators and Indian-market examples.
BacktestGyan — The Wikipedia of backtesting — how to validate a trading strategy honestly, with every performance metric (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, drawdown), robustness tests (walk-forward, Monte Carlo, out-of-sample) and the biases that make backtests lie, plus 15 in-browser tools and original diagrams.
RiskManagementGyan — The Wikipedia of trading risk management — capital preservation, position sizing, risk metrics (drawdown, risk of ruin, Sharpe, VaR), portfolio, options and algorithmic risk, and trader discipline, with original diagrams, in-browser risk calculators and Indian-market examples.
TradingPsychologyGyan — The Wikipedia of trading psychology — behavioural biases (loss aversion, overconfidence, herd mentality), emotional control (fear, greed, FOMO, revenge trading), decision making under uncertainty, discipline, trading routines and behavioural finance, with original diagrams and free journal, checklist and review tools.

What makes them different

Genuinely free. No paywall, no login, no ads, no "sure-shot calls".
Answer-first. Every page opens with a one-line answer, then a simple explanation, then professional-grade detail.
Original diagrams. Every chart and payoff is computed and drawn from scratch — no stock images, no black boxes.
India-first. Examples use Nifty, Bank Nifty, NSE realities and Indian lot sizes — not generic US tickers.
Independent. No affiliation with any broker, adviser or product issuer.

What we are not

The goal is not to make you trade more. It is to help you understand the risk you are taking — and sometimes, to help you decide not to take a bad trade. We are not a SEBI-registered adviser and we publish no advice. See our SEBI Disclaimer and Risk Disclosure.

Educational only — not investment advice. Markets carry risk; consult a SEBI-registered adviser before investing. Questions or corrections: [email protected].
