Equity Markets

My interest in equity markets started in year 2017 when I was attending Technical Analysis lecture in my MBA class. I was amazed how the same pattern repeats in the markets time over time. I started reading some of the books to increase my knowledge mainly on technical analysis front. Today also, I do my self analysis of the equity markets and discuss these with people of same interest.
