About

Chitra Palani is a self-educated full-time professional trader who holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Coventry, United Kingdom. Since 2010, Chitra has been successfully trading in the global stock markets and in that process developed interests in mentoring new entrants in to the world of trading. Chitra has acted as a consultant and coach at many investor events, she provides honest opinions and distinguishes facts from opinions supported by evidence.

As a graduate, Chitra worked as a Store manager for Tesco. In 2000, Chitra began her journey in to trading stocks and the usual beginners optimism carried by amateur traders would soon make her a blind trader set for expensive lessons. While the adventure was initially leading to quick fruitful gains, the combined lack of in-depth knowledge and experience required to make the right decisions at the right time began to present self doubts and sustain her progress. At one stage, Chitra wiped 60% of her net worth due to trades that were formed out of improper analysis and judgements.

In her quest to expand her knowledge, Chitra attended number of seminars and courses on trading run by industry’s mainstream firms but she felt the courses added very little value to help make decisions and were not entirely reflective of the challenges faced by an amateur trader who has no background in trading but hopes to become a successful trader one day.

Chitra realised that inorder to become a successful trader – it is vitally important to understand the fundamentals of the market you enter, the economic climate that affects the market and follow a set of defined methodologies in the technical analysis. After years of guided studies, self research and real time trading Chitra accomplished her goal of becoming a professional trader and also become a mentor. Chitra believes that her learnings was crucial in developing the ethics she practices in her career today.
