Nooresh Merani

I am an IT Engineer by qualification. I’ve been writing actively for 20+ years now — what started as posting views on Orkut communities, slowly evolved into a full-time journey in trading and investing. 

Today, I work as a SEBI Registered Research Analyst — Trader, Investor, Trainer, and Analyst by profession, and student of markets for life.

My journey began in 2004 with trial and error, indicators, systems, and a lot of mistakes. The bull market of 2007 was explosive; technicals worked beautifully. Only to see it turn dramatically in 2008. 2009 was a turning point. Meeting serious long-term investors changed how I viewed markets. It was no longer just about trading momentum, but about allocation, cycles, capital preservation, and compounding.

Over the years, I navigated multiple cycles-2014,2016,2018-19,2020,2022-23,2025-26. I have conducted 300+ two-day Technical Analysis workshops across India along with my mentor, and more online sessions over the years. Over 5,000 participants have attended seminars and programs.

I’ve also been featured and interviewed by platforms like Moneycontrol, ET Markets, CNBC, ET Now, Bloomberg, and others, where I’ve shared insights on trading, investing, and market cycles.

My approach revolves around identifying turnarounds and breakouts in Sensex and Nifty, with a major focus on midcaps and smallcaps. I follow a Techno-Funda style — combining technical structure with fundamental strength, while giving equal importance to allocation and risk management. I believe survival matters more than ego, cash is a position, and pressing aggressively when right is as important as cutting quickly when wrong.

Through all the ups and downs, the core aim remains simple — to keep improving, stay curious, respect market cycles, and ultimately be able to do what I truly enjoy: studying markets and participating in them every single day.
