I'm an engineering student and stock market kinda fascinates me and I want to learn more about it and make some investments, can you suggest how to actually start with it?
Thank you

I wanted to test certain strategies and everything out there was either too complex to actually use or too expensive, so I ended up building this myself.

What it can do:

• Trade an index (with the actual historical constituents for each date — not today's list applied retroactively, which is the mistake most DIY backtests make) or a custom list of stocks.
• Build entry rules from technical indicators (RSI, SMA/EMA crossovers, volume spikes), combined in flexible OR-of-AND groups.
• Choose from multiple exit strategies — a target %, a stop-loss %, a max holding period, or any combination of these, with whichever hits first deciding the exit.
• Compare multiple strategy variants side-by-side on the same data.

On data quality: OHLCV data goes back to 2005 from official NSE bhavcopies, adjusted for splits/bonuses/reverse-splits, and cross-verified for demergers/spin-offs on the clearest cases — so a corporate action doesn't show up as a fake crash in your results.

To be clear about what this is: it's a swing-trading strategy backtester — works off daily OHLCV data, so it's built for multi-day holding strategies, not intraday/scalping.

Still very much a work in progress. If you've got suggestions for what to improve, I'd genuinely value the input — and I'll give access to anyone who offers something useful.

Mods please don't delete it.

An ICICI Bank employee allegedly misused his official access to obtain my banking information and then harassed me and my wife through calls, emails, and messages. ICICI later admitted there was a lapse, conducted an internal investigation, and claimed "necessary action" was taken, but refused to disclose what action.

I approached the RBI Ombudsman. The complaint was closed after the bank offered me ₹25,000 as compensation. I had explicitly refused the compensation and asked the bank not to credit it, but it deposited the money anyway.

The Ombudsman advised me to approach law enforcement if I wanted further investigation. My lawyer asked me to obtain the dates and number of times the employee accessed my banking information, so I raised a service request with ICICI. I also asked whether I am free to discuss this matter publicly or with journalists. More than three months passed without any substantive response, despite repeated follow-ups and escalation to senior management.

I complained to the RBI Ombudsman again about ICICI's complete non-response, but that also led nowhere. ICICI eventually gave a generic reply that answered none of my questions.

What are my legal options now? I have already posted it on r/LegalAdviceIndia but posting it here also because I guess people here are more aware about financial laws.

I think it's been going on a bullish run the past three trading sessions. Shouldn't the market have some profit booking before it goes on another rally?

This is a question to those who do their own research and do direct stock investing. How much avg returns do you get?

Also do you follow value or growth or momentum style of investing. Did you develop your knowledge through books or some other source?

That is the reason Swiggy shares crumbling. Just ordered mop on Amazon now and got delivered in less than 10 minutes and also got special discount for today. 20 pct lower than mrp. This way Amazon will even wipe out small retailers.

Many new investors think making money in the stock market is only about picking the right stock. In reality, avoiding common mistakes is just as important.

Here are a few mistakes I see often:

• Buying a stock just because it's trending.

• Selling in panic during market corrections.

• Investing without a clear plan.

• Risking too much money on a single trade or investment.

• Ignoring risk management and position sizing.

• Expecting quick profits every week.

The market rewards patience, discipline, and continuous learning—not emotions.

What's one investing or trading mistake that taught you a valuable lesson?

TCS chairman himself said AI agents will match headcount in 3 years. Accenture already cut guidance. Hiring permanently slowing across the sector.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here down 43% on Infosys and 41% on TCS because two years ago "IT is safe" was the smartest thing I'd ever heard.

Not asking what to do, just sharing the damage. If you're still bullish on IT services after their own leadership is telling you the old model is finished, I genuinely want to hear the thesis.
