About MarketWolf
MarketWolf is a stock trading platform founded in 2017 by Vishesh Dhingra and Thomas Joseph, with headquarters in Mumbai, India. The company operates in the financial technology sector, providing a mobile-first trading experience designed to be accessible for first-time investors and simplified for seasoned traders. The platform's business model is structured to align with user success; it charges brokerage fees only when a trader makes a profit on a trade. This approach is part of its strategy to encourage disciplined trading practices among its user base.
Vishesh Dhingra, the CEO and co-founder, brings a background in quantitative trading and product management from his time at Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital, and Fastacash. His experience as a trader for over 15 years inspired the platform's core philosophy of disciplined trading by mitigating the influence of emotions like greed and hope. Thomas Joseph is the co-founder and COO of the company. MarketWolf has successfully raised a total of $17.4 million in funding, with its latest Series A round in July 2022 securing $10 million, led by Jungle Ventures and Dream Sports.
The MarketWolf platform allows users to trade in a variety of instruments, including stocks, indices, currencies, and commodities on exchanges like NSE and MCX. It is a SEBI-regulated brokerage firm. A key feature is its built-in risk management system, which requires users to set stop-loss and book-profit levels before placing a trade, thereby defining the risk and reward from the outset. The platform offers a practice mode with virtual money for new users to learn without financial risk. For live trading, it requires low minimum capital to start. The service is accessible through its mobile app, available for Android and iOS, and a web-based platform. The company focuses on listing highly liquid instruments to protect traders from the risks associated with illiquid stocks.
