Ashwin Raghavan’s story is a remarkable example of how discipline, mindset, and process can transform a career and achieve extraordinary trading success. Starting as an IT professional, he leveraged his technical and analytical skills to build a strong foundation for understanding markets and making strategic decisions.
Early in his journey, Ashwin faced significant setbacks — losing capital twice taught him that every drawdown carries a lesson in discipline, emotional control, and the importance of learning before earning. He realized that even the best setups can fail if mental strength is lacking. This pushed him to systematize trades, focus on the process, and detach emotionally from profit and loss fluctuations.
Ashwin’s turning point came when he reinvested with clarity and structure, learning from past mistakes. By creating a disciplined trading system, he eventually multiplied his account 100x. He emphasizes process over profits: reading thousands of charts daily, tracking market breadth, and letting data drive decisions rather than emotions.
A key part of his success is the “hero mindset” — treating himself as the protagonist of his trading journey, where every setback becomes a plot twist on the way to mastery. His breakthrough in gold and silver trading, using the Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP), demonstrates the power of patience, strategic entry points, and disciplined execution.
Ashwin prefers chart-based narratives over news, believing charts reveal the real story of demand, supply, and insider actions. He practices simplicity — minimal screens, simple tools, and focused execution — proving that complexity doesn’t create profit, discipline does.
Even after achieving success, Ashwin lives simply and trades simply, highlighting that true wealth comes from clarity, balance, and continuous learning. His journey inspires traders to master mindset, process, and simplicity to consistently succeed in the markets.
