BullRun Blueprint
From opening a demat account to understanding what you actually own.
What you will be able to do
Not topics covered — things you will be able to do when you finish.
Almost everyone loses money in their first year. Not because the market is rigged, but because they buy things they cannot explain, in sizes they cannot afford, for reasons they did not write down.
I am not going to make you a trader. I am going to make you someone who understands what they own and why. That is unglamorous and it is the entire difference.
About this programme
The stock market is not complicated. It is unfamiliar, which feels the same from the outside but is a completely different problem — unfamiliar things become familiar if someone explains them in order.
This programme goes in order. What a share is, how NSE and BSE actually work, what happens between you clicking buy and owning something, how to read a company, and how much to risk. No tips, no calls, no "multibagger" anything.
Before you start: None. This assumes no prior knowledge at all.
The curriculum
Every module below leaves you with one named skill. Open a level to see them.
1 What the market actually is 360 XP
Shares, exchanges, and the machinery between your click and your ownership.
Everything else assumes this. Most people who invest for years never actually get it.
- What you own when you own a share 5 min
- Why companies sell shares at all 4 min
- Shareholder rights you actually have in India 5 min
NSE and BSE are matching engines, not shops. Knowing the difference explains most of what confuses beginners.
- NSE, BSE and how a trade is matched 5 min
- The order book, bid-ask spread and depth 5 min
- T+1 settlement: what happens after you click buy 4 min
This is where most people get upsold something they do not need. Twenty minutes here saves years of unnecessary charges.
- Demat vs trading account, and what each one does 4 min
- Comparing brokerage plans without being confused 5 min
- The charges nobody mentions: DP, AMC, STT, stamp duty 5 min
2 Placing orders and not losing money on the mechanics 420 XP
The gap between what you meant and what the exchange did.
The difference between a market and a limit order costs beginners real money in the first week.
- Market, limit, stop-loss and SL-M, in plain language 5 min
- What happens to your stop-loss in a gap-down open 4 min
- AMO, GTT and the ones worth using 4 min
Not to predict — to see. A chart tells you where a stock has been, which is all it can honestly do.
- Candlesticks, volume and what they show 5 min
- Why most patterns fail honest testing 5 min
- Using a chart for context, not prediction 4 min
Five specific mistakes account for most first-year losses. They are all avoidable and all predictable.
- Averaging down into a falling business 5 min

- Leverage, F&O and SEBI's own loss data 5 min
3 Reading a company 450 XP
What the business does, whether it makes money, and whether it owes too much.
A company either makes money or it does not. This is where you find out, in about five minutes.
- Revenue, operating profit and net profit 5 min
- Margins, and what a falling margin usually means 4 min
- One-offs and why "adjusted" figures need a second look 5 min
Companies rarely die from low profits. They die from debt. The balance sheet is where you see it coming.
- Assets, liabilities and equity, in plain language 5 min
- Debt-to-equity and interest coverage: the two ratios that matter 5 min
- Working capital: the slow-motion warning sign 5 min
If you cannot explain how a company makes money in two sentences, you are not investing — you are hoping.

- Reading the annual report's first twenty pages 5 min
- Promoter holding, pledging, and related-party transactions 6 min
