About Abhay Malhotra

I started in markets by doing — not by observing.Since 2021, I’ve been actively involved in crypto mining and trading digital assets, which forced me to understand volatility, liquidity, and risk management firsthand. In 2023, I began trading options in the Indian equity markets, focusing on structured strategies, probability-based setups, and capital preservation.Over time, I shifted from discretionary execution to systematic thinking.Today, I actively design, test, and refine trading strategies using Python — back testing ideas, analyzing drawdowns, stress-testing assumptions, and studying risk-adjusted performance rather than raw returns. My focus is not prediction, but process.Alongside hands-on market experience, I am a CFA Level II Candidate, deepening my understanding of valuation, portfolio construction, derivatives, and risk frameworks.I’m particularly interested in the intersection of:• Fundamental valuation• Options structures• Quantitative validation• Behavioral inefficienciesLong term, my goal is to contribute on the buy side where disciplined research, data-driven decision-making, and risk-first thinking drive capital allocation.Open to discussing India derivatives strategy, equity research frameworks, and data-driven risk models.
