Pop Philosophy Research | Technical Research

Our Philosophy

The POP Research Philosophy is a tried and tested methodology used by our Technical Research team to analyse technical charts and identify money-making trading opportunities for customers

POP starts with a bird's eye view that involves overall market trends in indices and then adapts to a worm's eye view to look at individual scrips, thus ensuring our most reliable Technical Research calls

POP Analysis

Let's drill deeper to see how and why the POP approach has become Sharekhan's competitive advantage vis-à-vis Technical Research

Process Driven

Sharekhan's process-driven strategy incorporates three stages of analyses:

Index-level analysis
Sector-level analysis
Individual-stock-level analysis

Numbers talk. At Sharekhan, we pride ourselves on being able to hear them. Our objective analysis allows us to stay away from potentially loss-making biases. All trade setups pass through a rigorous template that cross-verifies against various parameters before going out as a final recommendation.

Product Based

Customer-centricity is important to us. POP curates products according to a set of strict criteria and filters the bad apples, thus providing inbuilt risk management. POP recommendations incorporate Risk Reward parameters, active tracking, exposure management based on market conditions and the trailing stop mechanism.
