Frequently Asked Questions

What is Velaris Academy?

Velaris Academy is a professional stock market education institute based in Chennai, India, founded in 2018 by Nirmal — a trader and educator with 10+ years of hands-on market experience. We provide structured, practical courses on technical analysis, intraday trading, options strategies, and trading psychology for retail investors across India.

Who is the trainer at Velaris Academy?

All programs are led by Nirmal, founder of Velaris Academy and author of The Complete Stock Market Guide. With over a decade of trading and mentoring experience, Nirmal has guided 1,000+ traders toward consistent, disciplined trading.

Is Velaris Academy SEBI registered?

Velaris Academy is a trading education institute and not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. We do not provide personalised investment advice or manage funds. All content is strictly educational.

Is this suitable for complete beginners?

Absolutely. Our Stock Market Fundamentals course is designed for those with zero prior knowledge. We start from basics — what a stock is, how to open a Demat account, how to read a chart — and progressively move to advanced strategies.

Trading & Risk

Will I be guaranteed profits after completing the course?

No. Trading involves inherent risk and there are no guarantees of profit. Velaris Academy provides education and frameworks to make informed trading decisions — but market outcomes depend on many factors. We strongly emphasise risk management throughout all programs.

How much capital do I need to start trading?

We recommend starting with capital you can afford to lose entirely, especially as a beginner. Many students start with ₹10,000–₹50,000 in practice or live accounts. Our courses teach proper position sizing relative to your capital.

Do you provide stock tips or recommendations?

No. Velaris Academy does not provide stock tips, buy/sell recommendations, or any form of investment advice. We teach you how to analyse markets yourself so you can make your own informed decisions independently.
