IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented finance professional with nearly eight years of hands-on experience trading Forex, commodities, and indices for funds and institutional clients. I have developed algorithmic trading tools and scripts (MQL, Pine Script), led trader teams, and consistently managed high-value portfolios to outperform benchmarks through disciplined risk management and market research.
My background includes senior trading and research roles across proprietary and institutional firms where I produced daily, weekly, and monthly research reports, provided trading recommendations, and collaborated with portfolio managers to design and execute strategies. I combine technical and fundamental analysis with software skills—Bloomberg, Reuters, MetaTrader, and custom scripts—to create repeatable, high-return trading approaches.
