NIC Fundamentals with Kumar Singh. Six core modules in pure no-indicator price action and structural reading, taught live in a small, focused cohort. Your entry point into the NIC method.
Inclusive of GST
Only 5 seats left
Six core modules. Pure price action and structural reading. Your entry point into the NIC method — built for traders who want to start the right way, without indicators, from the ground up.
New traders almost always start the same way. A YouTube video. An RSI strategy. A MACD crossover course. A pattern memorization chart. A signal group on Telegram. They put real money behind tools they don't fully understand and watch the account shrink without knowing why.
The truth that nobody tells beginners is that indicators don't show what is actually happening in a market. They show a calculation of what already happened. By the time the indicator fires, the move has already played out. Retail enters late. The capital leaks slowly. The trader gets blamed for poor discipline, when the real issue is that the chart they were taught to read was the wrong chart from day one.
NIC Fundamentals exists for a single reason. To give new and rebuilding traders a foundation that won't have to be unlearned later.
Kumar Ravishanker Singh — professionally known as Kumar Singh — built NIC after years of independent research into how institutional desks actually read markets through pure price and volume data. NIC stands for No Indicator Concepts. It is the methodology brand at Kumar Singh Global Trading Academy. The promise is simple. Pure structure. Real markets. Zero indicators.
NIC Fundamentals is the starting point. Six modules. Foundational by design. Built for traders who are either brand new and want to start correctly, or experienced and want to rebuild their reading on solid structural ground before progressing further.
Everything in this program is no-indicator. Pure candle reading. Pure structure. Pure price and volume logic. The same proprietary frameworks Kumar Singh uses in his own trading — Mother Candle, Volume Candle, Engulf Cycle — taught from the ground up in plain language.
Being honest about scope matters. NIC Fundamentals is the foundation tier. It is deliberately focused. Here is what it does and does not cover.
What it does cover:
The mindset behind no-indicator trading and why it outperforms indicator-based methods over time.
How to classify trades into A+, B+, and No-Setup categories before entering.
Mother Candle methodology — the proprietary framework for reading where institutional pending orders sit.
Volume Candle methodology — the proprietary system for spotting trend reversals through volume reading.
Ascending and Descending Trend methodology — how long a trend is structurally likely to extend.
Engulf Cycle Trading methodology — candle-by-candle structural reading.
What it does not cover:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and the FVG 1-2-3 Formula — these are exclusive to NIC Pro.
Volume Profile, Periodic Volume Profile (PVP), and the PVP 1-2-3 Formula — these are exclusive to NIC Pro.
Volume Footprint chart reading and the Footprint 1-2-3 Formula — these are exclusive to NIC Pro.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), VWAP, Anchored VWAP, Parallel Channel methodology, options decoding — these are exclusive to NIC Pro.
If you eventually want the complete institutional reading curriculum, NIC Pro 1-on-1 or NIC Pro Group is where those lives. NIC Fundamentals is the right starting point if you want to learn the no-indicator foundation properly first.
This program is for traders at the start of the journey, or traders rebuilding from a shaky indicator-based foundation.
Brand new traders who want to learn correctly from day one.
Traders who have tried indicators and signal groups and want a different approach.
Self-taught traders who feel their foundation is weak and want to rebuild before going advanced.
Working professionals who want a structured part-time path into trading without committing to a flagship program yet.
Students, retirees, and anyone testing whether trading is a path they want to commit to seriously.
Traders who plan to eventually progress to NIC Pro and want a clean entry into the methodology.
Honesty matters. NIC Fundamentals is a foundation tier. It is not the right fit if your needs are advanced.
If you already trade competently with structural methods and want footprint, FVG, and volume profile — go directly to NIC Pro.
If you're looking for buy-sell calls or signals — this is not that.
If you expect overnight transformation or guaranteed outcomes — no honest program can offer that.
Module 1.
A complete overview of why pure price and volume reading outperforms indicator-based methods over time. You'll understand the philosophy behind no-indicator trading, why institutions don't rely on retail indicators, and what reading the market structurally actually means. The mindset shift that has to happen before any framework can be applied properly.
Module 2
Professional traders classify setups before entering. This module teaches the three setup categories, how to identify each in real time, and why setup discipline is the foundation of consistent trading. The same rule-based filter taught at the NIC Pro level — built into the foundation here so you start with the right habit from day one.
Module 3
The proprietary KSGTA framework for reading where institutional pending orders sit, who is defending each level, and whether a zone is structurally valid for entry or exit. Mother Candle is the backbone of how serious traders read intent in candle data — applicable in any global market, any timeframe. One of the most powerful concepts in the entire NIC methodology, taught from foundation level here.
Module 4
A proprietary system for identifying early signs of bullish or bearish trend reversals through pure volume reading. Also covers trend continuation logic and structural exit-point identification. Built for traders learning to recognize directional shifts without indicators — using only the data printed on every candle.
Module 5
The proprietary framework for understanding how long a trend is structurally likely to extend, when it will pause or consolidate, and when conditions suggest reversal or significant directional movement. The structural logic that helps you stay in good trends and exit before they unwind.
Module 6
A proprietary candle-by-candle reading system that helps traders interpret the structural story behind each bullish or bearish move. Closes with a personal note from Kumar Singh on how to apply NIC Fundamentals in real markets and how the methodology connects to the advanced curriculum at NIC Pro.
Every benefit listed here is about skill development, methodology understanding, and structured learning. None of it is a promise about trading outcomes.
You learn to read markets through pure price and volume data — without depending on lagging indicators.
You build a structural foundation that won't have to be unlearned later, even as you progress to advanced material.
You understand setup classification (A+, B+, No-Setup) — a habit that separates disciplined traders from impulsive ones.
You learn three of the most powerful proprietary KSGTA frameworks (Mother Candle, Volume Candle, Engulf Cycle) at the foundational level.
You position yourself to progress to NIC Pro with a strong base, instead of jumping into advanced material without proper grounding.
The retail trading industry has spent two decades teaching traders to read indicators. The result is visible everywhere — high failure rates, frustrated traders, abandoned accounts, expensive courses that didn't deliver.
NIC was built as a quiet rejection of that model. The goal is to raise a generation of traders who actually understand market structure. Who can sit down at a chart, read pure price and volume data, and make decisions based on what is actually happening in the market — not what an indicator computed three candles ago.
NIC Fundamentals is where most traders begin that journey. By the end of these six modules, you'll think about charts in a fundamentally different way. The retail crowd will see indicators. You'll see structure.

Common Questions Traders Ask Before Joining
NIC Fundamentals is the starter program at Kumar Singh Global Trading Academy. Six modules in pure price and volume trading — completely no-indicator. It teaches the foundational mindset, setup classification, and three proprietary KSGTA frameworks (Mother Candle, Volume Candle, Engulf Cycle) plus the Ascending and Descending Trend methodology. Built for new traders and rebuilding traders who want to start the right way.
NIC stands for No Indicator Concepts. It is the methodology brand at the academy. The promise is simple — pure structure, real markets, zero indicators. Every framework taught at NIC is built on pure price and volume reading.
Yes. NIC Fundamentals is built for traders at the start of the journey. It assumes no prior indicator knowledge and teaches you to read markets through pure price action and volume from day one. Most of the bad habits other beginners pick up — RSI, MACD, signal groups — never get learned in the first place. You start clean.
Honestly, it depends. If your foundation feels weak and you want to rebuild on structural ground before progressing, Fundamentals is a good fit. If you already trade competently with structural methods and want advanced material like Volume Footprint, FVG, and Periodic Volume Profile, go directly to NIC Pro 1-on-1 or NIC Pro Group instead.
NIC Fundamentals is six foundational modules covering no-indicator basics — Mother Candle, Volume Candle, Engulf Cycle, Ascending and Descending Trend, plus setup classification. NIC Pro is twenty advanced modules covering the complete institutional reading curriculum including FVG, the FVG 1-2-3 Formula, Volume Footprint, the Footprint 1-2-3 Formula, Periodic Volume Profile, the PVP 1-2-3 Formula, CVD, anchored VWAP, parallel channel methodology, and options decoding. Fundamentals is the foundation. NIC Pro is the complete operator-level curriculum.
No. Volume footprint, fair value gaps, periodic volume profile, the three proprietary 1-2-3 Formulas, CVD, VWAP, parallel channel, and options decoding are all exclusive to NIC Pro. NIC Fundamentals deliberately stays focused on the no-indicator structural foundation — Mother Candle, Volume Candle, Engulf Cycle, Ascending and Descending Trend. If you want footprint and FVG, the right next step after Fundamentals is NIC Pro.
Yes. NIC Fundamentals is designed as a clean entry into the broader NIC methodology. Many students complete Fundamentals first, build their foundation, and then enroll in NIC Pro Group or NIC Pro 1-on-1 once they're ready for the advanced curriculum. There is no obligation to progress, but the door is open.
The methodology applies across global markets — equities, indices, futures, commodities, forex, and crypto. Every framework taught is structural, which means it reads pure price and volume data and works on any liquid market and any timeframe.
Correct. NIC Fundamentals is built entirely on pure price and volume data. No RSI, MACD, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands, supertrend, or any retail indicator overlay. The whole point of the program is to teach you to read markets without depending on indicators in the first place.
Mother Candle is one of the proprietary KSGTA frameworks Kumar Singh developed for reading where institutional pending orders sit, who is defending each level, and whether a zone is structurally valid for entry or exit. It is included in NIC Fundamentals because it is one of the most powerful structural concepts in the entire methodology and learning it at the foundation level shapes how you read every chart from that point forward.
The six modules are paced to allow proper absorption and practice between sessions. Exact schedule is shared at enrolment. The program is structured to give you enough time to apply each module before moving to the next, rather than racing through material.
No. KSGTA is not registered as an Investment Adviser or Research Analyst with SEBI or any other regulator. The program is purely educational and does not provide buy-sell calls, signals, tips, portfolio management, or personalized investment advice. Trading involves substantial risk and you should consult a licensed financial advisor in your own jurisdiction before making any investment decision.
You graduate with a structural no-indicator foundation, three proprietary KSGTA frameworks at foundation level, and a closing note from Kumar Singh on direction. Many students continue into NIC Pro Group or NIC Pro 1-on-1 to access the complete institutional reading curriculum. Others apply Fundamentals on its own and use it as their primary trading framework.
