Meet Ritik Singh — Trader & Portfolio Manager
Ritik Singh's journey is a testament to what happens when raw ambition meets structured mentorship. From struggling with inconsistent results to managing a funded portfolio with disciplined precision, Ritik's transformation is one of Tradeshala's most compelling success stories.
The Beginning: Ambition Without Direction
Like many aspiring traders, Ritik entered the markets with high hopes but little structure. He spent months studying YouTube videos, hopping between strategies, and watching his demo account profits vanish the moment he switched to live trading.
"I knew the theory," Ritik recalls. "But executing under real market pressure was a completely different game. I'd freeze on entries, hold losers too long, and cut winners too short."
The Turning Point: Joining Tradeshala
Ritik enrolled in Tradeshala's Personal Mentorship Program, drawn by the promise of 1-on-1 guidance and a structured path to funded trading. The transformation began immediately.
Building a Systematic Edge
Under mentorship, Ritik developed a rules-based approach to the markets:
- Session-specific setups: Focused exclusively on London and early New York sessions
- Confluence-driven entries: Combined ICT concepts with price action at key institutional levels
- Fixed risk parameters: 1% max risk per trade, 2.5% daily drawdown cap
- Trade journaling: Every single trade documented with screenshots and emotional state
Mastering Risk Management
The biggest shift wasn't technical — it was psychological. Ritik learned to treat every trade as a probability event, removing emotion from execution.
"My mentor drilled it into me: protect capital first, profits follow. Once I internalized that, everything changed."
Prop Firm Success
With a refined strategy and bulletproof risk management, Ritik tackled prop firm challenges with confidence:
- Passed evaluation on first attempt with a well-managed drawdown under 4%
- Scaled to a $100K funded account within 3 months of completing the program
- Achieved consistent monthly payouts, building a reliable income stream from trading
Transition to Portfolio Management
What sets Ritik apart is his evolution beyond individual trading. Leveraging the portfolio management principles taught at Tradeshala, he now:
- Manages a diversified portfolio across Forex, Commodities, and Indices
- Employs correlation-aware position sizing to reduce portfolio-level risk
- Tracks performance metrics including Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, and win-rate consistency
- Mentors junior traders in the Tradeshala community, paying forward what he learned
Key Lessons from Ritik's Journey
1. Structure Beats Talent
"Natural screen time doesn't make you profitable. A structured process does. Tradeshala gave me that structure."
2. Psychology Is the Real Edge
"Once I stopped trying to be right on every trade and started focusing on being consistent, the results followed naturally."
3. Small Gains Compound
"I wasn't chasing home runs. 2-3% monthly returns compounded into life-changing numbers over time."
4. Community Matters
"Having a mentor and a community of serious traders kept me accountable. Trading alone is a recipe for bad habits."
Where Ritik Is Today
Ritik continues to trade and manage his portfolio full-time, consistently withdrawing profits and scaling his funded accounts. He actively participates in Tradeshala meetups and mentorship sessions, inspiring the next generation of traders.
His message to aspiring traders: "Stop looking for shortcuts. Invest in proper education, find a mentor who's done what you want to do, and commit to the process. The results will come."
