Mohan Jyotirman Misra — Co-Founder
With a strong foundation in engineering from IIT Kanpur, my academic journey led me to explore the realms of economics and finance, sparking a deep interest in financial markets. This passion brought me to Futures First, a proprietary trading firm, where I currently work as a Trader specializing in the US Treasury Options Market. My focus is on the mathematics behind options, including volatility and option pricing models, to navigate the complexities of market dynamics. In addition to my quantitative approach, I integrate fundamental analysis and macroeconomic insights, closely monitoring global economic trends, central bank policies, and key financial indicators to guide my trading decisions. My enthusiasm for economics and finance also led me to clear the NISM Series 1 exam in Currency Derivatives, further expanding my knowledge of derivative markets. This combination of technical expertise and macroeconomic understanding allows me to approach trading with a comprehensive perspective, blending analytical rigor with a broad understanding of market forces.
