Fast Profits Report
Brijesh is the editor of Equitymaster's two premium trading services:
Fast Profits Report, in which he recommends stocks based on trends in commodity markets and investments in hard assets.
Alpha Wave Profits, in which he recommends long and short stock trades based on his 'Alpha Wave Scanner' proprietary system.
Brijesh has 16 years of experience in India's financial markets as a trader and technical analyst. He has worked with big names on Dalal Street like UTI, Asit C Mehta, and Edelweiss Securities. Before joining Equitymaster, he was Head of Research at a brokerage firm.
Brijesh is a man who found his calling early in life. Even before completing his graduation, he was fascinated by the stock market...especially the big money that traders made.
His father ran a garment shop in Kalbadevi, a trading hub in Mumbai. As a teen, Brijesh would work there after college.
In 2004, he noticed traders at the sub-broker next to his father's shop, celebrating the new all-time high of 2,000 made by the Nifty.
This excited him. He realised traders were making Rs 40,000 a day when the average person was working for Rs 40,000 a month.
Brijesh didn't want to be average. He made it his goal to dive deep into the world of financial markets and learn everything he could.
After his bachelor's in management studies in 2006 he began his career on Dalal Street as commodities dealer. He also completed his MBA from ICFAI. After establishing his credentials in the commodities space, Brijesh expanded his horizons by getting into the stock market in 2013.
Early in his career, Brijesh became a learning machine. He read every book he could on trading. He communicated with fellow traders and learnt from their mistakes. He experimented with various trading strategies.
His journey led him to discover Paul Tudor Jones, American billionaire trader and hedge fund manager. Jones is famous for tripling his money in the Black Monday crash on Wall Street in October 1987.
From Tudor Jones Brijesh learnt, "The meat is not in the middle of the trend. It's in catching the tops and bottoms".
This one learning helped Brijesh leapfrog other traders in the years to come.
It wasn't long before he developed his own unique trading system. He worked on his trading system until it could be expected to deliver 5 units of return for every unit of risk.
Brijesh strongly believes in keeping risk levels low while trading. The best part of his trading system is the emphasis on minimising risk with tight stop losses.
Here are two examples from when Brijesh was testing his strategy in the first half of 2020.
A short position on Kotak Bank at Rs 1,643 on 28 February resulted in a 16% gain on 30 April at Rs 1,372.
A long position on Tata Motors at Rs 71.55 on 27 March resulted in a 34% return on 16 June at Rs 96.10.
