What you receive, and where the record lives
The two desks, what every call contains, when it reaches you, and why the full history sits inside the app rather than on this page.
Updated 6 September 2026 · Potoos Research Services
In short. You choose one of two desks at signup. Every call you receive carries an entry, targets, a stop-loss and the reasoning behind it, and it reaches you the day before the market opens rather than during it. Every call is stored in the Potoos app, dated and timestamped, with the ones that went against us shown on the same screen as the ones that worked.
The two desks
You pick one at signup, based on how much of the trading day you actually have. They are different jobs, and neither is a lighter version of the other.
Index options
Buy-side index option calls, with the exit level decided before you enter. Suited to someone who can act around the open.
Equity
NSE equity with holding periods from weeks to months. No screen time and no derivatives required.
What every call contains
The same structure every time, on both desks. Nothing is sent as a bare instruction to buy something.
- Entry
- A range, not a single number, so you are not chasing a price that has already moved.
- Targets
- Staged, so you can decide how much to take off and when.
- Stop-loss
- Set before entry, never after. It is the level at which the idea is wrong.
- Reasoning
- Why this, why now. You should be able to disagree with it, which is only possible if it is written down.
A stop-loss is a trigger, not a guarantee. In a gap or a fast market the actual fill can be worse than the level shown, and no analyst can change that. What we control is that the level is decided in advance and told to you, rather than improvised after the trade has moved.
When it reaches you
Calls are published in the app the day before the market opens, not during the session. You read them when you have time, place your orders, and get on with your day. Nobody has to sit watching a phone for a message that may or may not arrive.
Where the record lives
Every call goes into the Potoos app and stays there. It runs in your browser at web.potoosresearch.in, so there is nothing to install.
- Every call is kept. Nothing is quietly removed because it went the wrong way.
- Losses appear beside gains. Same screen, same treatment.
- Nothing is backfilled. A call is dated when it was published, not when it would have looked good.
- Nothing is edited after the fact. Levels are not adjusted once a call is out.
Why none of that is on this page
SEBI's advertisement code does not permit a registered Research Analyst to publish past performance, returns or accuracy figures in public material. That applies to us and to every other registered analyst, and it is worth knowing when you are comparing one against another.
So the record is not hidden, it is placed where it can be read in full and in context by the people paying for it, rather than summarised into a number on a landing page. If you want to check the registration itself before any of this matters, here is how to do that on SEBI's own register.
Why do stock advisory services never show their losing calls?
Two very different reasons produce the same silence, and telling them apart is most of what a buyer needs to know.
The first reason is curation. An operation that markets itself on screenshots controls what you see, so the losers quietly disappear and the highlight reel is presented as the history. Nothing forces such a service to show you anything, which is exactly why what it shows you proves nothing.
The second reason is the law. A SEBI-registered Research Analyst may not publish past performance in public material at all, winners or losers, because the advertisement code prohibits it. So on public pages, the compliant and the curated look identical: neither shows losing calls. The difference lives one layer down, in whether a full record exists somewhere the author cannot rewrite.
That is the practice this page describes for our own service: every call goes into the subscriber app and stays there, dated, with the calls that went against us on the same screen as the ones that worked, nothing edited and nothing backfilled. Subscribers see the losing calls, in full, beside the gains, because a record that omits its losses is not a record. The question to put to any service, us included, is not "show me your winners". It is "where do your losses live, and who can edit them?"
Common questions
Do I have to trade F&O?
No. The two desks are separate and you choose yours at signup. The positional equity desk never requires a derivative or screen time. SEBI's study of individual traders in equity derivatives, published 20 August 2026, found 87.7% of them ended the year in the red, so this is a decision worth making deliberately.
Can I see the record before subscribing?
Not the call history, because publishing it would breach the advertisement code. What you can check before paying anything is the registration itself, the fee cap that applies, and the grievance route, all of which are on public record.
Is there anything to install?
No. The Potoos app runs in your browser at web.potoosresearch.in. You sign up there, complete the risk profile SEBI requires, and the calls appear in your account.
What happens when a call goes against me?
It will happen, and anyone suggesting otherwise is selling something. The stop-loss is set before entry so the exit is decided in advance rather than in the moment, the position sizing is meant to be one you can hold, and the call stays in the record exactly as published.
Why do stock advisory services never show their losing calls?
Either because they are curating, showing you a highlight reel with the losers removed, or because they are registered and the advertisement code bars them from publishing any past performance publicly, losses and winners alike. The two look identical on a public page, so the real test sits behind it: whether a complete record exists that the author cannot edit. Ours does, in the subscriber app: every call kept and dated, losses on the same screen as gains, nothing edited or backfilled after the fact.
