  AI-Driven Trading Models are trading systems that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) — such as machine learning, deep learning, and statistical algorithms — to analyze market data, learn patterns, make predictions, and execute trades with minimal human intervention. These models are widely used in quantitative funds, HFT firms, prop-desk algorithms, and systematic traders , because they can identify patterns that humans often miss. ✅ Simple Definition AI-driven trading models are computer programs that learn from historical and real-time data (price, volume, news, sentiment, macro data) and use this knowledge to: Predict future price movements Identify trading opportunities Manage risk Execute trades automatically 🔍 How AI-Driven Trading Works Here is the step-by-step functioning: 1. Data Collection AI collects massive datasets: Stock prices, volume, OHLC Options data, open interest Fundamental data (EPS, PE, revenue, etc.) News headlines, soci...

ROCE = Return on Capital Employed. It measures how efficiently a company generates operating profit from the capital invested in the business. It’s a profitability ratio used to compare returns between companies and to see whether the business is earning more than its cost of capital. Formulae (two common forms) ROCE (using EBIT) ROCE = EBIT Capital Employed \text{ROCE} = \dfrac{\text{EBIT}}{\text{Capital Employed}} ROCE = Capital Employed EBIT ​ where EBIT = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (operating profit). ROCE (after tax, using NOPAT) — sometimes preferred because it reflects the operating profit available to both debt and equity holders: ROCE NOPAT = EBIT × ( 1 − tax rate ) Capital Employed \text{ROCE}_{\text{NOPAT}} = \dfrac{\text{EBIT} \times (1-\text{tax rate})}{\text{Capital Employed}} ROCE NOPAT ​ = Capital Employed EBIT × ( 1 − tax rate ) ​ where NOPAT = Net Operating Profit After Tax. What is “Capital Employed”? Two equiva...

 The value of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar depends on demand–supply forces , macroeconomic fundamentals , and investor sentiment . A currency strengthens when demand for that currency rises or supply decreases relative to the other currency. Below are the key factors and policy actions that can make the rupee stronger. 1. Increasing Foreign Investment (FDI & FPI) Why it strengthens INR When foreign investors put money into: Indian stock markets (FPI) Factories, infrastructure, and businesses (FDI) They must buy Indian Rupees , which increases demand for INR → rupee appreciates. How it can be boosted Stable government & predictable policies Lower corporate taxes Ease of doing business Stronger legal protection for investors More foreign money = more INR demand = stronger rupee . 2. Higher Exports and Lower Imports Why it strengthens INR If India exports more goods/services: Foreign buyers pay in USD Exporters convert USD → INR...

  Return on Equity (ROE) measures how effectively a company uses the money invested by its shareholders to generate profits. In plain language: for every ₹1 of shareholders’ equity, how much profit does the company generate? Basic formula ROE = Net Income Shareholders’ Equity \text{ROE} = \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Shareholders' Equity}} ROE = Shareholders’ Equity Net Income ​ Expressed as a percentage. Example: if net income = ₹10,000 and shareholders’ equity = ₹50,000, then: Divide: 10,000 ÷ 50,000 = 0.20 10{,}000 \div 50{,}000 = 0.20 10 , 000 ÷ 50 , 000 = 0.20 . Convert to percent: 0.20 × 100 = 20 % 0.20 \times 100 = 20\% 0.20 × 100 = 20% . So ROE = 20% . Why ROE matters It shows profitability relative to owners’ capital (not total assets). Investors use it to compare how well different companies turn equity into profits. A higher ROE generally indicates more efficient use of equity — but context matters (industry, leverage, one...
