The Methodology

i

Price Action First

No lagging indicators. No signal services. Reading raw market structure — highs, lows, breaks of structure, change of character — directly from the chart.

ii

ICT Concepts

Order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps. The Inner Circle Trader vocabulary for institutional order flow, read from price not from news.

iii

Multi-Timeframe

Monthly bias. Weekly structure. Daily setup. 4-Hour confirmation. Lower-timeframe execution. Top-down without exception.

iv

First-Hand Filings

Where fundamentals matter, the filings are read first-hand — annual reports, audit qualifications, contingent liabilities, related-party disclosures.

§ 02

Our Trading Philosophy

01

Quality Over Quantity

I focus on executing the right trades, not the most trades. Identifying one structurally sound order block is far more effective for risk management than overtrading market noise.

02

High-Probability Setups

The methodology strictly prioritises executing a single, high-probability setup over forcing multiple low-conviction trades. Conviction is earned, not assumed.

03

Patience and Precision

Patience is an analyst's greatest asset. I prefer waiting for optimal entry ranges and clear liquidity sweeps rather than taking unnecessary setups out of FOMO.

A practitioner, not a tipster.

B.Com · FCA (Fellow Member, ICAI) · SEBI RA · NISM-XV

I'm a B.Com graduate and a Fellow Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (FCA) who reads markets professionally. The discipline transferred cleanly — both balance sheets and price charts demand respect for primary documents, scepticism of narrative, and the patience to wait for clean evidence.

"I don't predict the market. I read it. The chart is the only document already audited by every participant."

My research is built on two pillars. The first is Price Action — reading market structure directly from the chart without filtering it through indicators. The second is the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) framework, which gives a precise vocabulary for institutional order flow: order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity pools, and the engineered moves that sweep them.

The work runs top-down across monthly, weekly, daily, four-hour, and lower timeframes. The higher timeframe sets the bias. The lower timeframe gives the entry. No trade is taken against the prevailing structure.

Where a thesis touches fundamentals, the filings are read first-hand — annual reports, audit qualifications, contingent liabilities, related-party disclosures. The chart shows what is happening; the filings often explain why.

What I Do Not Do

I do not manage client money. I do not execute trades on your behalf. I do not promise returns. I do not run a Telegram tip-and-disappear operation. Every report carries a written rationale, an entry / stop / target framework, and a personal-interest disclosure. If I hold the stock, you will know.

Why This Is Priced This Way

This is not a retail tip channel. The subscription is positioned for serious investors who value discipline, regulatory cleanliness, and discretion. Subscribers are not visible to one another. Reports are not redistributed. The compliance scaffolding is institutional-grade because the audience is institutional in seriousness, even when individual in scale.

Other Engagements

I also operate a Chartered Accountancy practice as the proprietor of Ajay Maurya & Associates. The two engagements are operated at arms-length as required under SEBI's part-time RA framework — separate banking, separate billing, separate communications. The CA practice is unrelated to securities markets and does not influence research independence.

§

Research Methodology & Framework

Important Notice In compliance with applicable SEBI / RAASB directions, the RA does not publish past performance data or historical research summaries on this website or via any other public mode. The research framework, methodology pillars, and educational concepts shown below are illustrative and conceptual; they are not recommendations and do not refer to any specific past trade or its outcome. Past performance data, where requested by a client (or prospective client), is shared only on specific request, strictly on a one-to-one basis, in the form certified by a member of ICAI / ICMAI, and accompanied by the SEBI-mandated disclaimer on unverified performance.

Live research is published first to the website portal (subscribers only), then broadcast to the private Telegram channel. All research records are retained in the compliance repository for not less than five years per the applicable provisions of the RA Regulations.

The Three Pillars of Every Report

PILLAR ONE · PRICE STRUCTURE
Multi-timeframe structure mapping (monthly → weekly → daily → 4-hour → 1-hour)

Higher-timeframe bias is set first — monthly & quarterly for positional context, weekly for trend, daily for setup, 4-hour for trigger, 1-hour for entry timing. A trade triggers only when lower timeframes align with the dominant higher-timeframe structure. No setup is taken against monthly / weekly bias.

Educational · Methodology
PILLAR TWO · LIQUIDITY
Order blocks & fair-value gaps

Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts — order blocks, fair-value gaps, liquidity sweeps, displacement — are applied to identify where institutional flow is likely to re-engage the market.

Educational · Methodology
PILLAR THREE · FUNDAMENTAL OVERLAY
CA-led forensic review

Audited financial statements and primary disclosures of the issuer are reviewed for solvency, governance flags, and accounting quality before any equity bias is published. This is the Chartered-Accountant-led integrity check.

Educational · Methodology
REPORT STRUCTURE · STANDARD FORMAT
Every report includes

Security identification, asset class, methodology pillars triggered, bias rationale, key levels, risk warning, the analyst's interest disclosure for the subject security, SEBI registration stamp, publish hash, and a 30/5 cooling-off rule note where applicable.

Educational · Format
PUBLISHING DISCIPLINE · WEBSITE-FIRST
Website-first, Telegram-second

Each report is uploaded to the subscriber portal first, hashed, timestamped, and stored in the compliance repository before any Telegram broadcast. This sequence is enforced by the platform — not by preference.

Educational · Compliance
CADENCE · MARKET-DRIVEN
Reports only on valid setups

Cadence is market-driven, not calendar-driven. There may be weeks with no published reports if no valid setup forms across the watched basket. The absence of reports is not a deficiency of service.

Educational · Cadence

Step 1 — Grievance Escalation Matrix (Internal)

In compliance with applicable SEBI / RAASB directions, the RA displays the following escalation matrix. For an Individual Research Analyst operating without staff, all five designations are held by the same individual; this is a deliberate compliance disclosure, not a redundancy.

Existing subscribers will receive 15 days' prior notice before GST is added to billing.

SEBI-Validated UPI ID

In compliance with applicable SEBI / RAASB directions on Standardised, Validated and Exclusive UPI IDs for SEBI Registered Intermediaries, the RA collects all client fees through a SEBI-validated UPI handle. This page exists so you can independently verify the handle.

RA'S SEBI-VALIDATED UPI ID
<ra-name>.ra@valid<bankname>
(actual UPI ID will be displayed here on grant of SEBI registration)
Look for the ✓ thumbs-up icon within a green triangle during transaction confirmation in your UPI app. Its presence confirms SEBI validation.

A. Why This Matters

Unscrupulous parties impersonate SEBI registered intermediaries and request payment to unauthorised UPI handles. The SEBI-validated UPI format <ra-name>.ra@valid<bankname> with the thumbs-up green-triangle indicator is a public-safety mechanism to identify genuine intermediary payments.

B. How to Verify

  1. Type the displayed RA UPI ID (in the format <ra-name>.ra@valid<bankname>) in your UPI app (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, etc.)
  2. On the confirmation screen, look for the ✓ thumbs-up icon within a green triangle
  3. The name displayed should read "CA Ajay Maurya" or "AJAY KUMAR MAURYA" (the RA's registered names)
  4. If any of these is missing or different, do not proceed. Contact info@caajaymaurya.com immediately

C. Other Payment Modes

In addition to the SEBI-validated UPI ID, you may pay via Razorpay (Net Banking / Debit Card / Credit Card / NACH eMandate / UPI Autopay). The RA does NOT accept cash. The RA does NOT accept cheques or transfers to any account other than the registered RA bank account.
