I'm Pawan Jadhav — founder of SkilledTrader. 4+ years in markets, NISM-certified in derivatives, and on a mission to give beginners the structured financial education they actually deserve.
Chart patterns, trend analysis & indicators.
Learn calls, puts & option strategies.
Read charts like a professional trader.
At 19, markets were my identity — actively trading FnO & Equity, running a community of 400+ traders, and building a YouTube channel to 1.5K subscribers within months. Then life pulled me toward a job. Trading stopped. The community went silent. And slowly, my edge faded.
That loss taught me something no textbook can: passion fades when you stop practising it. So I resigned, rebuilt, and launched SkilledTrader — a structured education platform for students who deserve clarity, not random chaos.
Most beginners discover trading first and never see the full picture — Investment Advisory, Research Analysis, Portfolio Management. I help them see it all.

Active trading in Futures & Options and Equity segments. Built an initial community of 400+ traders and grew a YouTube channel to 1.5K+ subscribers before pivoting full-time to SkilledTrader.
3 losses at –1R, 1 win at +5R. 25% accuracy, still profitable. Professionals manage risk-reward ratios — not win rates.
After tax (~10%) and inflation (~3–4%), the "good return" becomes 6–7%. Real, after-cost returns build wealth. Most investors never track this.
Calculators made math faster; they didn't replace mathematicians. AI can summarise reports. Context and financial judgement still come from expertise.
To explain a chart to someone who knows nothing, you must understand it at a level no textbook requires. Every session is training.
Most beginners see trading and miss the rest — Advisory, Research, Portfolio Management. Understanding the full landscape changes everything.
Identity built on skill requires daily maintenance. Stepping away — even for a "good job" — quietly erodes the sharpness that took years to build.
Whether you're a beginner finding your feet or a professional exploring collaboration — reach out through any of these channels.
