@sasikanthperi
Discretionary index derivatives trader with rigorous risk discipline and analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Chartered Accountant who brings rigorous financial thinking to trading. At Lovelock and Lewes LLP (PwC), I handled statutory and tax audits and worked on Ind AS transitions, including complex derivative accounting such as cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts.
Today, I run a proprietary trading book at Peri Capital focused on ES/NQ and index derivatives, using market profile and delta order-flow to trade intraday momentum and mean-reversion structures. With disciplined risk limits, I produce regular post-trade reviews and trading summaries to improve win rate and reduce drawdowns, and I’ve also supported continuous improvement as a junior trader teammate at Apteros Trading Inc.
