About

A University of London BSc Economics & Finance graduate with hands-on experience in both systematic and discretionary trading. I currently work as a Quantitative Researcher at Market Topper Securities Pvt Ltd, where I build and refine proprietary trading strategies using quantitative modeling, signal engineering, and robust risk management. My work spans equities and derivatives, with a focus on backtesting, performance optimization, and market data analysis. Previously, I traded a discretionary book at Fortune Capital, applying real-time macro insights and volatility-driven strategies to generate strong risk-adjusted returns. I also completed an internship at Pace Stock Broking Services Pvt Ltd, covering statistical arbitrage, options pricing , and Python-based strategy development. Earlier in my career, I worked at Kotak Mahindra Bank as a summer analyst in credit risk and regulatory research. At university, I led research and trading initiatives at the SIM Investment & Networking Club (INC) and SIM Economics Society, contributing to publications and macroeconomic discussions. My strengths include Python, Quantitative Research, Financial Modeling, Risk Analytics, and Portfolio Construction. I’m especially interested in systematic investing, alpha signal development, and the intersection of markets and data. Feel free to reach out for a conversation! Email: earth.chadha41@gmail.com
