01 — About Me

A small town,
a different path.

I'm 23, from Sarkaghat — a small town in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh. After finishing my BSc in Computer Science from DAV College, Chandigarh in 2023, I didn't follow the usual route.

Instead of applying for jobs, I went deep into trading. It wasn't a backup plan — it was a deliberate choice. I studied markets, built a strategy, tested it with real money, and kept going.

During college I was involved in student politics — which taught me how to stay grounded under pressure, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for decisions. Those lessons matter more in trading than people realise.

Right now I'm fully focused on becoming a consistently profitable trader. Everything else comes second. That's just where I am at 23.

"I didn't come from a trading background. I just stayed curious, stayed consistent, and kept showing up."

02 — Beyond Trading

What keeps me going.

🏏

Cricket

Cricket has always been close. The patience it demands, reading the game as it develops — it's not that different from watching a chart, honestly.

📚

Learning outside the box

I actively try to learn things outside my field — tech, business, psychology, anything that gives me a new lens. Being a CS graduate who trades is already proof of that.

📈

Markets & Charts

What started as curiosity became a craft. I spend most of my waking hours around charts — not because I have to, but because I genuinely enjoy understanding how price moves.

03 — Trading

How I trade.

01What I tradeMostly gold (XAUUSD) — about 8 out of 10 trades. The rest is BTC or ETH when the setup is clean and the risk/reward makes sense.
02My styleDay trading on the 15-minute chart. No indicators — just price action, candlestick structure, and reading what the market is actually doing.
03PlatformsTradingView for charting and analysis. MetaTrader 5 for execution. Both used every single day, 24/5.
04Capital modelI trade through prop firms — passing their evaluations to access funded accounts. It keeps you disciplined because there are real rules and real consequences.
05ScheduleMonday to Friday, following the market hours. Weekends are for review, reflection, and rest. Structure matters.
