Utopia asks “Dear Sir…I am sorry for deviating the topic but please tell me how can and where I can learn technical analysis? can you please also tell us about your background and how is started your career?”

My suggestion is: read books, browse as many TA websites as you can, work with a TA software, practice , practice, practice. Finally get a certification.

Pi asks: “question just came to my mind.. over the years from what you’ve seen of our markets – have our markets become more efficient or less efficient.”

My response: I would think they have become more efficient as compared to the past. Probably they are much less efficient when compared to the S&P market (for example). That’s why it is still possible to make money in India with relatively simple methods. As time goes by, this will become more difficult.
