Research built on curiosity, discipline, and clear thinking.

I study the company before I study the stock.

I’m Rithvik Chethan, a high school student and swing trader based in Bedford, New Hampshire, working toward a career in quantitative finance. I actively trade through my Fidelity Youth account, applying technical analysis, price action, and smart money concepts to real positions rather than just paper trading.

Alongside trading, I’ve been building out a full stack of tools including Swing Edge, a React and Supabase powered trading dashboard, and Apex Swing Pro, a custom Pine Script indicator combining moving averages, momentum, and volume signals. I run a swing trading blog where I break down strategy, market structure, and lessons from my own trades.

To back up the practical side with real knowledge, I’ve completed Bloomberg Market Concepts, am working through CFI’s Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst bundle, and finished an EDHEC portfolio construction course covering Python based portfolio optimization, CPPI, and value at risk. I’m also studying for the SAT and preparing college applications aimed at quant and finance focused programs.

A growing research library, not another news feed.

I built this site and my broader trading projects to document what I’m learning and make it useful for other beginner traders trying to understand the market the way I wish someone had explained it to me early on.
