Who is Shakti Tiwari? The AI Trader From Chandigarh Building NSE Tools on Termux

DOYR | Not financial/legal/tax advice. For educational purposes only.

If you've searched "Shakti Tiwari trader" on Google, you've probably found fragmented pieces: a Dev.to article here, a GitHub repo there, a Telegram channel, maybe a mention of his books. But the full picture? Missing.

This article fixes that.

The Short Version

Shakti Tiwari is an AI/quant trader, writer, and open-source developer based in Chandigarh, India. He builds free trading tools for Indian retail traders, writes about market psychology and AI, and is the author of two books: Right Brain Wins and Brain Markets.

He runs optiontradingwithai.in, contributes to Dev.to, and maintains the nse_ai_agent project — an AI-powered trading assistant designed for Termux/Android.

The Longer Version (The Real Story)

Origin: Why Termux?

Most traders use Bloomberg terminals. Shakti uses a ₹15,000 Android phone.

Not because he can't afford better. Because he believes the best tool is the one you actually use.

His journey started with a simple question: "Why is there no good trading software for Indian retail traders that runs on Android?"

Existing solutions:

  • Desktop-only (Zerodha Pi, Upstox Pro) — require laptop
  • Web-based — clunky, slow, no automation
  • Paid APIs — expensive for small accounts
  • International tools — no NSE-specific data

So he built his own.

The nse_ai_agent Project

nse_ai_agent is an open-source AI trading assistant built specifically for Termux/Android. It combines:

  • NSE data fetching (live quotes, option chains, FII/DII flows)
  • Local LLM integration (Ollama, LM Studio) for sentiment analysis
  • Automated backtesting framework
  • Telegram alerts for trade signals
  • Risk management calculators

The philosophy: "AI proposes, you dispose." The tool suggests, but the trader decides.

The Writing

Shakti writes about:

  • NSE trading — options, futures, intraday, swing
  • AI in finance — local LLMs, sentiment analysis, algorithmic trading
  • Trading psychology — the Right Brain Wins framework
  • Termux/Android — turning phones into trading workstations
  • Books — Right Brain Wins (trading psychology), Brain Markets (AI + neuroscience)

His writing style: right-brain first. Emotion and story before data and logic. He believes most trading education fails because it speaks only to the analytical mind.

The Books

Right Brain Wins — A book on trading psychology that argues the 95% of traders who lose do so not because of bad strategy, but because of unmanaged emotions. The framework: dual-hemisphere trading. Right brain for pattern recognition and intuition. Left brain for risk management and execution.

Brain Markets — A deeper dive into how neuroscience and AI are reshaping market prediction. Covers LLMs for sentiment, EEG-based trading signals, and the future of human-AI collaboration in markets.

What He Actually Believes

1. Trading Is 20% Strategy, 80% Psychology

Most guides teach the 20%. He focuses on the 80% — the part that actually determines whether you survive long enough to profit.

2. AI Should Augment, Not Replace

"AI proposes, you dispose." The tool should amplify human judgment, not automate it away. Otherwise, you're just a different kind of gambler.

3. Tools Should Be Free

Information asymmetry is the biggest barrier in Indian markets. If you can't afford a ₹50,000 terminal, you shouldn't be excluded from professional-grade analysis.

4. Right Brain First

The market is not a math problem. It's a crowd psychology problem. Data confirms what intuition already sensed. The best traders feel the market before they see it.

The Mission

Democratize professional-grade trading tools for Indian retail traders.

No Bloomberg terminal. No ₹1 lakh software. No expensive courses.

Just a phone, some Python scripts, and the willingness to think differently.
