What you learn in MarketMind, week by week

Week 1: Market Literacy

• Session 1, The Market Game (skill: Understand markets). How financial markets function, why prices move, who participates, and how buyers and sellers interact.
• Session 2, Price & Structure (skill: Read price). Interpret price movements, identify support and resistance, and read a price chart without immediately depending on indicators.

Week 2: Market Intelligence

• Session 3, Reading Price & Trends (skill: Identify market condition). Tell trending, sideways and volatile markets apart, and describe the current market condition before considering an action.
• Session 4, Market Context & Research (skill: Evaluate information). How news, company fundamentals and research influence expectations, and how to separate facts, opinions, assumptions and actionable information.

Week 3: Capital & Risk

• Session 5, Capital Allocation (skill: Allocate capital). How to distribute limited capital: diversification, concentration and opportunity cost. Decide how much capital to commit and why.
• Session 6, Risk & Position Sizing (skill: Control risk). Understand potential loss before entering a position: position sizing, risk-reward, stop-loss concepts and risk limits.

Week 4: Decision Making

• Session 7, Decision Lab I (skill: Make decisions). Apply price reading, research and risk concepts to practical market situations, and reach a reasoned decision instead of reacting emotionally.
• Session 8, Decision Lab II (skill: Adapt decisions). Respond when conditions change, assumptions fail or a first decision goes wrong: when to hold, modify, exit or avoid.

Week 5: Application

• Session 9, Thesis to Execution (skill: Build a plan). Turn a market observation into a structured plan: rationale, entry conditions, invalidation point, risk and execution plan, before taking action.
• Session 10, Options Lab (skill: Understand derivatives). Futures and options, calls and puts, strike, expiry and premium, and why derivatives carry additional complexity and risk.

Week 6: Self Awareness & Integration

• Session 11, Behaviour & Psychology (skill: Recognise decision errors). Common biases such as FOMO, overconfidence, loss aversion, revenge trading and confirmation bias, and processes that reduce those errors.
• Session 12, Final Market Simulation (skill: Integrate everything). Apply the whole framework in a simulated market: analyse conditions, evaluate information, allocate capital, assess risk, build a thesis, decide and review.

What you should be able to do at the end

The course outline puts it this way: at the end of MarketMind, participants should be able to independently understand market behaviour, interpret price movements, evaluate information, allocate capital, manage risk, build structured market plans and make more deliberate, evidence-based decisions.

For the full wording of every session, read the course outline, session by session (also in Tamil).

Is it right for you?

It is for you if you are a complete beginner and want to learn how the stock market works, you want live classes where you can ask the mentor questions as you learn, and you are comfortable learning in Tamil or English.

It is not for you if you want someone to name shares for you, or you are looking for promised returns. Learning does not mean you have to trade.
