The Opening Bell: A Timeless Tradition in Global Trading

Opening Bell originates from a global traditional practice of ringing a physical bell to start daily trading activities on global securities exchanges. Started in 1870s in New York Stock Exchange, this tradition was eventually adopted by many global stock exchanges since. It denotes the commencement of a trading day.

Even though technological evolution has shifted trading to electronic platforms, the Opening Bell’s symbolic relevance has persisted. The Opening Bell today continues to mark the point at which trading orders can be executed and full liquidity is available in the market. It represents the onset of a day ripe with potential for financial gains and impactful market news.

Our Investing & Trading mantra

We believe time in the market and timing the market, both are important drivers of medium to long term stock market returns.
We carefully select stocks based on Fundamental factors such as cash flows, earnings growth, promoter holding, valuations and more. This eventually plays out over next several quarters. This is timed with fundamental triggers like favourable government policies, sectoral tailwinds, management change, turnaround plays and more. These are backed by solid data and research.
For short term trading and hedging ideas we focus on time tested technical triggers like moving averages, pattern breakouts, quantitative data and sectoral momentum.
