Don't Trade Alone.

Paras is a Software Engineering Manager, managing multi-million dollar projects in the latest niche technologies at one of the Fortune Global Top 100 companies. Originally from India and currently settled in the USA, Paras, from a very early age, was enthusiastic about the financial market and recalls (in 8th grade) sitting in front of a financial news channel and noting all the company’s symbols with their respective quotes in his notebook without having any idea about what they meant.The interest in financial markets never stopped growing and inspired him to explore areas within, that he would be most interested in. The exploration journey of his led him to become a Level 3 certified in NSE (National Stock Exchange, India) and even got into Master’s in Financial Engineering program which he later voluntarily dropped out as it did not meet his interest. Nevertheless, It was in 2015 when Paras moved to the USA, he came across Andrew’s book “How to Day Trade for Living” that made him realize that Day Trading was what he was really interested and passionate about. There was no looking back. Paras then joined Bear Bull Traders (Vancouver-Traders back then) and became one of the initial members of the community. Paras has since expanded his day trading horizon to actively Swing and Options trade as well.
