What is ADR/GDR – How Indian Companies Get Foreign Investors!Hello Traders! You may have heard terms like ADR and GDR when companies talk about raising money abroad. These instruments allow Indian companies to get international investors without directly listing on foreign stock exchanges. Let’s understand them in simple words. What is an ADR? ADR stands for American Depository Receipt . It is a certificate issued by a US bank that represents shares of a foreign company (like an Indian company). These ADRs trade on US stock exchanges just like normal US stocks. Example: Infosys and Wipro have ADRs listed in the US. Advantage: US investors can buy Indian companies without dealing with Indian exchanges. What is a GDR? GDR stands for Global Depository Receipt . It works the same way as ADR, but instead of being limited to the US, GDRs are listed on global exchanges like London or Luxembourg. Example: Many Indian companies raise funds through GDRs in Europe. Advantage: Gives access to a larger pool of foreign investors. Why Do Companies Issue ADR/GDR? Access to Foreign Capital: Helps Indian companies raise funds from global investors. Better Visibility: Being listed abroad increases global recognition of the company. Diversified Investor Base: Attracts institutional investors who may not invest directly in Indian markets. Liquidity: Allows more trading activity and easier buying/selling internationally. Rahul’s Tip: ADR/GDR listings are a sign that a company wants to expand globally and attract foreign capital. But as an investor, always check if the company is fundamentally strong before getting influenced by the “global listing” tag. Conclusion: ADR and GDR are simple tools that connect Indian companies with foreign investors. While ADRs are limited to the US, GDRs open doors to global markets. For long-term investors, these instruments show how Indian companies are scaling globally. If this post made ADR/GDR clear for you, like it, share your thoughts in comments, and follow for more market education in simple language!

NIFTY Not Moving Despite GST Cut | Sensex, BN & Market AnalysisThe government's decision to reduce taxes is a positive factor for market sentiment, yet the market has not become fully bullish or reached new highs. This raises the question as to why market is struggling to go up. Well, the answer lies in the weightage of the Nifty index. Nifty's Sector Weightage Approximately 60% of the Nifty's weight is carried by just three sectors: * Financial Services : Makes up 36.82% of the Nifty's weight. * Oil, Gas and Fuels (Majorly Reliance) : Accounts for 9.90% of the weight. * IT Sector : Holds around 10.51% of the weight. The remaining 40% of the Nifty is composed of many other sectors, including metals, pharma, and FMCG etc Impact of GST Reforms The recent Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms were primarily aimed at the consumption sector to provide relief to the middle class. While the tax benefits are a positive for the consumption sector, its overall weight in the Nifty is only around 7%. In contrast, the banking sector, which has around 37% weight, did not receive any direct benefits from the GST rate cuts except Insurance Companies. This is a key reason why the banking sector and by extension the market, has not turned fully positive. Similarly, the IT sector is already largely exempt from GST, so the recent rate cuts had no direct impact on it, preventing it from driving the market up. The oil and gas sector, dominated by Reliance, also presents a mixed picture. While some areas like Reliance's FMCG and solar projects are positively impacted by the new rules, the government has actually increased taxes on oil and gas, which makes up a significant portion of Reliance's revenue and profit. Furthermore, international tensions continue to affect the revenue and profits of the oil and gas sector. The Role of International Factors These three major sectors—banking, IT, and oil and gas—are all directly related to international factors like global situations and the political tensions between India and the US. The market is in a "wait and watch" mode as it awaits the outcome of potential future US actions, such as imposing tariffs. If the US government eases its stance on tariffs, the market is likely to celebrate and move upward. However, if any new tariffs are imposed or a negative outlook emerges, the market could decline significantly. Therefore, despite the positive tax changes, the market's direction ultimately depends on international developments and the major sectors responsible to them. Regards Yogesh Verma 🙂

Stock Market is in Risk OnThe US market, as well as some assets, is in a risk-on mode. Most assets have their own seasonality. The chart above shows one of them: In recent years, in the period July-September, a correction began on the US market. A number of macro indicators also speak in favor of a correction and that it is overdue. Risk appetite according to Morgan Stanley research has reached a historical maximum Although seasonality does not guarantee a correction right here and now, but at least it gives reason to think about reducing long positions

We are not positive about TeslaThe impact of tariffs and expiring EV credits is expected to pressure future US deliveries and regulatory credit revenue in the near term Elon Musk: Well, we're in this weird transition period where we will lose a lot of incentives in the US. Slab incentives actually in many other parts of the world. But we'll lose them in the US. Across all of it at the relatively early stages of autonomy. On the other hand, autonomy is most advanced and most available from a regulatory standpoint in the US. Does that mean we could have a few rough quarters? Yeah. We probably could have a few rough quarters. I'm not saying that we will, but we could. Q4, Q1, maybe Q2. Revenue -12% y/y ( decline for the first time in 10 years)!!! EPS 0,27 $ agj vs 0,39 $ estimated FCF -89% y/y but still positive ( just 146 M$) CAPEX for 2025 increased EBITDA dropped by 7.8%. Price to Sales 12,7 P/B 14 Expensive We expect declining of the stock price to 210 $ And, yes, many still regard Tesla as a car manufacturer, but this is not a correct view of the company. Later in our blog we will touch on the question of how to correctly look at the brainchild of Elon Musk.

Flexi Cap Funds vs Multi Cap Funds – What’s the Difference?Hello Traders! When it comes to equity mutual funds, many investors get confused between Flexi Cap and Multi Cap funds. Both invest across large, mid, and small-cap stocks, but there’s a key difference in how they are managed. Let’s break it down in simple words. What are Multi Cap Funds? Multi Cap Funds are required by SEBI rules to invest a minimum of 25% each in large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks. This means: They are compulsory diversified . Even if small caps are risky at the moment, the fund manager must still hold at least 25% exposure. Good for investors who want fixed diversification across all categories. What are Flexi Cap Funds? Flexi Cap Funds, as the name suggests, have full flexibility. The fund manager can invest in large, mid, or small-cap in any proportion, depending on market conditions. This means: No fixed rule for allocation. The fund manager can go 70% large-cap in volatile times or shift more to small/mid-caps when opportunities are strong. Good for investors who trust the fund manager’s judgment. Key Differences You Should Know Flexibility: Multi Cap = fixed allocation, Flexi Cap = flexible allocation. Risk Level: Multi Cap has balanced risk due to compulsory exposure. Flexi Cap risk depends on manager’s calls. Return Potential: Flexi Cap may deliver better returns in the hands of a skilled manager, but also comes with higher dependency on their decisions. Investor Type: Multi Cap suits investors wanting rule-based diversification. Flexi Cap suits investors comfortable with dynamic allocation. Rahul’s Tip: If you want steady exposure across all market caps, Multi Cap funds are safer. But if you believe in the fund manager’s ability and want more flexibility, Flexi Cap funds can give you better opportunities. Conclusion: Both categories have their place in a portfolio. The choice depends on your risk appetite and trust in active fund management. Remember, what matters most is not just category, but consistent performance and fund manager track record.

Part 6 Learn Institutional Trading Factors Affecting Option Prices Option premiums are influenced by multiple factors: Underlying Price: Moves directly impact intrinsic value. Time to Expiry: Longer duration = higher premium (more time value). Volatility: Higher volatility = higher premium (more uncertainty). Interest Rates & Dividends: Minor factors but can influence pricing. The famous Black-Scholes Model is often used to calculate theoretical option prices. Basic Option Strategies for Beginners Here are some simple strategies you can start with: 1. Buying Calls Use when you expect the stock/index to rise. Risk: Premium loss. Reward: Unlimited upside. 2. Buying Puts Use when you expect the stock/index to fall. Risk: Premium loss. Reward: Significant downside profits. 3. Covered Call Own a stock + Sell a call option on it. Generates income but caps upside. 4. Protective Put Buy stock + Buy a put option. Acts like insurance for your stock portfolio. 5. Straddle (Advanced Beginner) Buy a call and put with the same strike and expiry. Profits from big moves in either direction. Risk: Both premiums lost if market stays flat.

Option Trading The Mechanics of Option Pricing 1. Intrinsic Value vs. Time Value Intrinsic Value: The profit if the option were exercised now. Time Value: The extra value due to remaining time until expiry. Option Premium = Intrinsic Value + Time Value. 2. Moneyness of Options In the Money (ITM): Immediate profit if exercised. At the Money (ATM): Strike ≈ Current price. Out of the Money (OTM): No immediate profit, only time value. 3. Option Greeks (The DNA of Options) Delta: Sensitivity of option price to underlying movement. Gamma: Sensitivity of Delta to underlying movement. Theta: Time decay – options lose value as expiry nears. Vega: Sensitivity to volatility. Rho: Sensitivity to interest rates. Understanding Greeks is critical for advanced traders. Risks in Option Trading Options are not risk-free. Premium Decay (Theta Risk): Options lose value daily. Volatility Risk: Implied volatility crush can hurt positions. Liquidity Risk: Wide bid-ask spreads increase costs. Assignment Risk: Writers can be forced to fulfill contracts. Unlimited Losses: Naked option selling is dangerous.

The Art of Position SizingIntroduction: Why Position Sizing is the Silent Weapon When most people think about trading success, they picture things like stock picking, finding the next multibagger, or timing the market perfectly. But the truth is, none of these alone will make you a consistently profitable trader. The difference between traders who survive and thrive versus those who blow up their accounts often comes down to one thing: position sizing. Position sizing is the art and science of deciding how much to risk on a trade. It’s not glamorous. It doesn’t make headlines like “XYZ stock doubled in a week.” But it’s the most powerful tool you have for controlling risk, managing emotions, and growing capital over the long term. Think of trading like sailing. The market is the ocean — unpredictable, sometimes calm, sometimes stormy. Your strategy is the ship. But position sizing? That’s the steering wheel. Without it, even the strongest ship can sink. In this article, we’ll dive deep into the art of position sizing, explore different methods, psychological aspects, and real-world applications, and by the end, you’ll understand why smart traders say: “It’s not about being right, it’s about surviving long enough to grow.” What is Position Sizing? In simple terms, position sizing answers the question: “How many shares (or contracts/lots) should I buy or sell on this trade?” Let’s take an example. Suppose you have ₹1,00,000 as trading capital. You see a stock trading at ₹500 and want to buy. Should you buy 20 shares, 100 shares, or go all-in with 200 shares? The answer depends on: Your risk tolerance per trade (how much you’re comfortable losing if it goes wrong). Your stop-loss level (the price at which you’ll exit if the trade fails). Market conditions (volatility, liquidity, trend strength). Two traders can take the exact same trade setup — same entry and exit — but one could lose 50% of his account, while the other loses just 1%. That’s the power of position sizing. The Role of Risk Management in Position Sizing Before we dive into methods, let’s lay the foundation: risk management. The golden rule in trading: Never risk more than a small fraction of your capital on a single trade. Commonly used: 1% Rule or 2% Rule. Risk 1% of your account per trade. Example: If you have ₹1,00,000, risk only ₹1,000 per trade. Now, here’s the beauty: By limiting risk per trade, even if you face a losing streak, you can still survive. Imagine you risk 10% of your capital per trade. After just 10 losing trades, your account is wiped out. But if you risk 1% per trade, you’d need 100 consecutive losing trades to lose everything. That’s survival power. Position Sizing Methods There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Traders use different methods depending on style, psychology, and goals. Let’s go through the major ones: 1. Fixed Dollar Method Decide a fixed amount to risk on every trade. Example: “I’ll risk ₹2,000 per trade no matter what.” Simple but not flexible. Works for beginners. 2. Fixed Percentage Method Risk a set percentage of account equity per trade. Example: 2% risk rule. If account = ₹1,00,000 → risk = ₹2,000. Dynamic: As account grows, risk amount grows. 3. Kelly Criterion A mathematical formula to maximize long-term growth by balancing win rate and risk-reward. Powerful, but aggressive. Example: If you win 60% of trades with 2:1 reward/risk, Kelly suggests a certain % of capital to risk. Many traders use half-Kelly for safety. 4. Volatility-Based Position Sizing Position size adjusts to stock volatility. Use ATR (Average True Range) or standard deviation. More volatile stocks → smaller size. Less volatile → larger size. Helps normalize risk across different stocks. 5. Risk/Reward-Driven Sizing Position based on expected reward vs. risk. Example: If reward:risk is 3:1, you may size slightly larger. Ensures high probability trades get priority. 6. Scaling In & Out Scaling in: Enter gradually, adding positions as trade confirms. Scaling out: Reduce position as profit builds, locking gains. Useful in trending or uncertain markets. Mathematical Foundations Let’s go step by step: Formula: Position Size = (Account Risk per Trade) ÷ (Trade Risk per Share) Account Risk per Trade = % of account × account size. Trade Risk per Share = Entry Price – Stop Loss. Example: Account = ₹1,00,000. Risk per trade = 2% = ₹2,000. Stock entry = ₹500, Stop loss = ₹490 → Risk per share = ₹10. Position size = ₹2,000 ÷ ₹10 = 200 shares. This formula keeps every trade within safe limits, regardless of stock price. Psychology of Position Sizing This is where most traders fail. Even with formulas, emotions creep in: Greed: “This setup looks perfect, let me double my size.” Fear: “I just had three losses; let me reduce my size drastically.” Overconfidence: After a winning streak, traders often oversize. Revenge trading: Going all-in after losses to “win it back.” The art of position sizing isn’t just math — it’s discipline. Sticking to your rules despite emotions is what separates pros from amateurs. Position Sizing in Different Trading Styles Day Trading: Smaller time frames, quick exits. Use tight stop-loss → often larger position sizes. Swing Trading: Wider stop-loss, overnight risks. Position size smaller to balance. Long-Term Investing: Position sizing matters less per trade, but diversification becomes key. Options & Futures: Leverage complicates sizing. Need margin-based calculations and higher discipline. Adapting Position Sizing to Market Conditions High Volatility Markets: Reduce position size. Survive turbulence. Calm/Trending Markets: Increase size cautiously to capture trends. During Losing Streaks: Reduce size temporarily to preserve confidence and capital. During Winning Streaks: Carefully increase size, but avoid over-leverage. Position Sizing Mistakes to Avoid All-in mentality. One bad trade can end your career. Averaging down blindly. Throwing good money after bad. Ignoring correlations. Buying 3 different banking stocks = concentration risk. Sizing based on gut feel, not rules. Leads to inconsistency. Case Studies & Practical Examples The Blow-Up Trader Started with ₹2,00,000. Risked 20% per trade. After 5 losses, wiped out. Lesson: Poor position sizing = fast death. The Survivor Trader Started with ₹2,00,000. Risked 1% per trade = ₹2,000. Even after 10 losses, only down 10%. Account intact. Lesson: Survival > glory. The Professional Fund Manager Doesn’t risk more than 0.5%–1% per trade. Manages billions, but each trade is just a small piece. Lesson: Longevity and risk control matter most. Position Sizing as an Art So far, we’ve discussed the science — formulas, rules, risk percentages. But in real life, position sizing is also an art. It requires judgment — when to size up, when to stay small. It requires psychological control — sticking to plans. It requires adaptability — markets change, volatility changes. Great traders think of position sizing like a volume knob: turning risk up and down depending on conditions, but never letting it break the system. Conclusion At its core, position sizing is about survival first, profits second. You can have the best strategy in the world, but without proper sizing, you’ll blow up before you can reap the rewards. The art of position sizing is: Mathematical discipline (formulas, risk per trade). Psychological discipline (controlling greed/fear). Strategic flexibility (adapting to markets). So next time you’re about to hit “buy” or “sell,” ask yourself: How much am I risking? Is this within my rules? If I lose, can I survive to trade another day? Because in trading, the ultimate goal isn’t to win one big trade. The ultimate goal is to stay in the game long enough to let compounding work its magic.

UltraTech: Two-Decade Bull Rally Reaches New SummitTechnical Analysis UltraTech Cement presents one of the most spectacular long-term growth stories in Indian equity markets. Having observed this stock for two decades, the journey from ₹250 levels to ₹12,000 represents a phenomenal 48x growth over 20 years - a testament to consistent value creation. The ₹12,000 level acted as formidable resistance from July 2024 to July 2025, creating a year-long consolidation phase. This resistance was finally breached in July 2025, coinciding with confirmation of positive YoY quarterly results that provided the fundamental catalyst needed for the breakout. Currently trading at ₹12,700, the stock has successfully broken above the psychological ₹12,000 barrier. This breakout, supported by strong fundamental performance, opens up the path for the next leg of the bull rally. Entry Strategy: Enter on any dips toward ₹12,200-₹12,300 range, ensuring the ₹12,000 level holds as new support. Targets: Target 1: ₹13,000 Target 2: ₹13,500 Target 3: ₹14,000 Stop Losses: Critical Support: ₹12,000 (previous resistance, now key support) If the market doesn't sustain above ₹12,000 level, no more expectations on this stock.

Strategic positioning includes targeting 209.3 MTPA output by FY27 and maintaining strong operational metrics with focus on sustainability through renewable energy integration. Conclusion UltraTech's remarkable 20-year bull run from ₹250 to ₹12,700, combined with 49% YoY PAT growth and successful ₹12,000 resistance breakout, validates the long-term growth thesis. The 192.26 MTPA capacity milestone, ₹10,000 crore FY26 capex, and 1 GW renewable energy achievement position the company as industry leader.

Part 3 Learn Institutional Trading Option Pricing & Premiums The premium (price of option) is determined by many factors: Intrinsic Value – Difference between current stock price and strike price. Example: If stock = ₹200, strike = ₹180 (call), intrinsic value = ₹20. Time Value – Extra premium because of time left until expiry. More time = higher premium. Volatility – Higher volatility increases premium (uncertainty = higher value). Interest rates & dividends – Also affect option pricing slightly. The most famous model for pricing options is the Black-Scholes Model, used worldwide. Moneyness (ITM, ATM, OTM) Options are classified as: In The Money (ITM): Option already has intrinsic value. (Example: Stock = ₹250, Call strike = ₹240). At The Money (ATM): Stock price = strike price. Out of The Money (OTM): Option has no intrinsic value yet. (Example: Stock = ₹250, Call strike = ₹280). OTM options are cheaper, but riskier. ITM options are costlier, but safer.

Key support sits at 80,600–80,800, and if broken, deeper liquidity around 80,200–80,400 may be targeted. 1H Chart Short-term push attempted to break the supply at 81,300–81,500 but failed. Structure has shifted with a BOS (Break of Structure) confirming bearish intent. There is a small FVG around 81,100–81,200, which may act as supply on any retest. Demand is stacked between 80,600–80,800. 15M Chart Clear rejection candle after liquidity grab above 81,300. Multiple bearish BOS confirm intraday control with lower highs and lower lows. Micro-FVG and OB formed between 81,100–81,200 could serve as sell-on-rally zones. 📊 Trade Plan for 5th September Primary Bias: Bearish (Sell-on-Rise) Short Entry Zone 1 (Aggressive): 81,100–81,200 (FVG/OB retest).
