1. Tell us about your background and journey.
Harsh – I have been trading the markets for 7 years now. I have seen the market's ups and downs and finally realized how trading and making consistent money from the stock markets can be easy.

After finishing my graduation, I managed to clear all the levels of CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) and CMT (Chartered Market Technician). Presently I am a full-time trader and trainer. Have recently started a stock market education company “Trading Secrets” and plan to teach strategies that I use which have helped me become a consistent trader.
Hetvi – Trading Secrets Co-Founder-I developed keen interests in the stock markets and started learning about it in a professional way, while still in junior college.

We are now on a mission to teach these Trading Secrets and make financially independent traders and investors out of the stock market.
