Manoj Kumar

MBAB.TechCTAFounder, OptionPundit Trading Academy · 2006
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon. I was born with a dream, and a corporate job that felt like a cage.

For years, I did exactly what society told me: I worked hard and traded my time for a paycheck. But while I was busy grinding, inflation was quietly eroding my future. I watched incredible market opportunities pass me by because I was paralysed by the fear of losing what little I had.

Everything changed when I stopped guessing and started building rule-based, risk-managed systems, the same way professional traders operate.

In 2006, I founded OptionPundit to bring institutional-grade strategies to the everyday investor. Over the past two decades, I have engineered a suite of proprietary, systematic blueprints. They form the architectural core of my approach to the markets.

Est. 2006

There's never been more free options education.
Or more people losing money.

Nine in ten options traders lose money. The information was never the problem.

Knowing a strategy isn't the same as trading it with your own money on the line. The first is free everywhere. The second is the real game — and it's all we teach.

Founder, OptionPundit Trading Academy

I wasn't born with a silver spoon. I was born with a dream — and a corporate job that felt like a cage.

For years, I did exactly what society told me: I worked hard and traded my time for a paycheck. But while I was busy grinding, inflation was quietly eroding my future. I watched incredible market opportunities pass me by because I was paralyzed by the fear of losing what little I had.

Everything changed when I stopped guessing and started building rule-based, risk-managed systems — the same way professional traders operate.

In 2006, I founded OptionPundit to bring institutional-grade strategies to the everyday investor. Over 17 years, I have engineered a suite of proprietary, systematic blueprints — including PP33℠, 5D℠, M30℠, CamelCurl℠, L2R℠, Mt Fuji℠, Flying Condor℠, 222℠, and Tiara℠. These models form the architectural core of my systematic approach to market returns.

I didn't just build a trading system; I built a way out of the grind. Today, we’ve exposed these systems to over 10,000 traders to stop being victims of the market and start being architects of their own professional trading businesses.

I’m not here to just give you a "course" to study — I’m here to share the same systematic blueprint I used to find my own freedom.
