💬 About StockCanny.com
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a dramatic increase in retail investors participating in the stock market. Trading and investing rapidly gained traction as individuals sought additional income sources and enhanced financial autonomy. New traders brought a welcome boost of energy to the markets, yet simultaneously unveiled a significant obstacle: a general lack of foundational market knowledge.
The reliance of many new retail traders on tips from self-styled experts, Telegram channels, and social media influencers became significant. These shortcuts, while seemingly beneficial, often lead to impulsive decision-making, poor risk assessment, and over-reliance on external support. Lack of adequate research and technical expertise could make this approach counterproductive.

👤 About the Author
Hi, I’m Dr. Sandeep Kumar, the author on StockCanny.com.
My journey into trading began back in 2010—driven more by curiosity than expertise. Like many new traders, I initially relied heavily on tips from so-called experts, suggestions from others, and advice floating around on forums and channels. I started trading with a ₹10,000 account and, within six months, lost it all.
That loss was a turning point. I realized that if I wanted to succeed, I had to stop depending on others and start learning the game myself. My first step was reading “Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets” by John J. Murphy. That book changed everything. From there, I dived deep into the world of technical analysis—devouring books, online resources, and taking every course I could find.
Trading, for me, is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a long-term craft—a way to grow steadily and create meaningful experiences in life. Whether it’s a quiet family outing, a thoughtful gift for my wife and kids, or a peaceful trip to the hills, the money I earn from trading makes those moments more special. That’s what trading means to me: freedom, fulfillment, and purpose.
I’m not a SEBI-registered analyst, nor do I come from a finance background. In fact, I’m a doctor by profession. But over the years, I’ve grown deeply passionate about technical analysis and market behavior. Even today, I continue learning—reading new books, taking fresh courses, and refining my strategies.
Through StockCanny, I simply want to share what I’ve learned—honestly, practically, and with the hope that it helps you become a more confident and independent trader, just as I once set out to be.
Thanks for stopping by—and I hope the content here adds real value to your trading journey.
