Origin
A Journey Through Markets
Anurag Shukla is an independent trader and the creator of SpreadGravity™, a market-analysis framework developed through more than a decade of direct experience in financial markets.
His trading journey has been built primarily through live market observation, experimentation, mistakes, adaptation and continuous refinement. His focus is on understanding relationships between assets, particularly relative movement, spread behaviour, divergence, mean reversion, hedging and the combined behaviour of paired positions.
Background
Built on Discipline
Before entering the world of financial markets, Anurag served for two decades in the Indian Air Force, where he handled responsibilities involving security, investigation, counter-intelligence, cybersecurity, IT security and personnel management.
He holds qualifications in Law and Business Administration (HR) and has received specialised training in cybersecurity, cybercrime investigation and computer networking.
This professional background developed a strong foundation of discipline, analytical thinking, observation and decision-making under pressure.
Philosophy
“If reading or writing about trading were enough to create successful traders, every dedicated reader and every trading author would be a millionaire. The market, however, teaches lessons that no book can fully deliver.”

Reality Check
The 10% Reality
SEBI data shows that roughly 91% of individual F&O traders incurred losses in FY2024–25.
The market offers an opportunity unlike many traditional careers — but it demands discipline. You need a structured approach to manage your capital, risk and trades.
When the majority trade without a defined system, the real competition may be much smaller than it appears.
Framework
