Frequently asked questions
Ten of the things we get asked most often. If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us.
Is QuitLosing an investment adviser?
No. We are not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. We provide trader education — articles, simulations, assessments, courses (when launched). We do not recommend specific trades, stocks, or options. For personalised investment advice, consult a SEBI-registered adviser.
Will you tell me what stocks or options to buy?
No. We will never give you a specific trade call — "buy Nifty 24500 CE at ₹145" or "short Reliance." That would require SEBI RIA registration, which we don't have, and it's not the kind of service we want to run. We teach you how to read the chart and manage risk. You make your own calls.
Is the free assessment actually free? What's the catch?
Yes, fully free. Forever. No credit card, no trial, no "upgrade to see your full score." The only thing we ask for is a WhatsApp number and email at the end, so we can send your report. You can opt out of marketing at that same step. That's it.
Where does the "91%" figure come from?
SEBI's 2024 study on retail participation in the equity derivatives segment. It found that approximately 91% of individual traders in F&O incurred net losses over a three-year period, with aggregate losses in the lakhs of crores. You can find the study on SEBI's official website under their research publications.
Who is Manoj?
Manoj Maheshwari is the founder of QuitLosing, based in Mumbai. He's a trader and educator who decided there were already enough guru services in India and not enough honest ones. Full story on the About page.
How do I get my report? When does it arrive?
After you complete the assessment, we send a personalised report to the WhatsApp number you entered. It arrives about 15 minutes later — your own "Hi QuitLosing" message hits our inbox first, then the report lands in the same thread. The delay is deliberate so it feels considered, not automated.
Can I retake the assessment?
Yes, as often as you like. The question bank and scenario library rotate, so you shouldn't see identical content each time. Retaking is a legitimate way to learn — especially after studying an area you were weak on the first time.
Do you have paper trading or live simulations?
The free assessment includes 4 chart simulations — historical setups played forward to a decision point. That's our current simulation offering. A deeper paper-trading tool is on the roadmap, likely launching alongside the Subscribe tier.
How do you make money if everything's free?
Three planned sources: (1) paid education subscriptions with deeper courses and cohort reviews (coming soon), (2) broker-affiliate commissions if you open a demat with a SEBI-registered broker through our referral — you pay nothing extra, the broker pays us a one-time referral fee, (3) we do not currently take any other revenue. The free assessment is our brand lead-in, not a profit centre.
Can I share my result with a friend?
Yes. Your report is yours — forward the WhatsApp message, screenshot the success page, share the URL of the practice app. We don't gate anything behind login walls. If you want to publicly post your profile band, we'd love to see it — tag us.
