Ketan Tank, CMT®, CFP® — Product Manager
I’m a Derivatives & Options Trader, CMT® and CFP® charter holder with hands-on proprietary trading experience across index and stock options in Indian and global markets. I also build and manage equity portfolios – from constructing them to growing them with a risk-first mindset. I currently work at a global prop desk in Dubai (KIZIV DMCC), where I manage risk and exposure across Nifty, Bank Nifty and international index derivatives. My work revolves around turning volatility, time decay and market structure into disciplined, risk-adjusted returns – not speculative bets. I began my journey at Marwadi Shares & Finance as a fresher, learning markets from the ground up – execution, behaviour, and my first rule-based options frameworks. Today at KIZIV DMCC, I trade a proprietary book, handling real-time exposure, drawdowns and decision-making under risk, combining strategy design, live risk management, psychology and post-trade review. Day to day, I focus on: • Options & volatility trading – straddles, strangles, calendars, condors, ratio spreads, delta-neutral structures • Risk & Greeks management – Delta, Vega, Theta, Gamma with dynamic hedging inside predefined risk bands • Volatility & events – IV crush, event-driven setups and systematic models across regimes • Capital & portfolios – position sizing, drawdown control, asset allocation and equity portfolio construction I bring: • A prop-desk mindset and real P&L responsibility • Structured, documented processes for entries, exits, hedging and reviews • Strong emphasis on psychology, routines and discipline over emotion Credentials: CMT® Charterholder • CFP® • NISM/NSE/NCFM certifications in derivatives, technical analysis and portfolio-related modules If you’re building or scaling something around proprietary trading, derivatives strategy, equity portfolios, risk management or global markets research, I’m always open to meaningful conversations and collaborations. 📩 Email: ketanofficial7@gmail.com Derivatives & Options Trading | Volatility Trading | Equity Portfolio Construction | Portfolio Risk Management | Technical Analysis | Quantitative & Statistical Analysis | Asset Allocation | Multi-Asset Strategies | Behavioral Finance | Investment Strategy & Wealth Management | Commodity & Index Derivatives | Proprietary Trading
