A different path to successful trading. A Conversation with Rajan Dhall
New AlphaMind Podcast Episode with Rajan Dhall explores his journey from academy footballer, to personal trainer, to head trader at Prop Firm DND Capital
Dear AlphaMind Newsletter Readers,
The journey to becoming a successful trader can take many different and unexpected turns. Rajan Dhall never harboured any ambition to be a trader. His passion growing up was football (soccer). As a promising teenage soccer player, Rajan was on the books of English Premier League clubs Chelsea and Brentford. However, the gates of success at the very top level did not open up to him.
Even then, when Rajan explored alternative careers, trading had not come into view, and he worked as a personal trainer at gyms in London. It was here, where he met many traders keen to use his personal training services, and it was through conversations with these individuals that his curiosity into trading was piqued.
Even then, Rajan did not rush into trading like so many others who try and fail, thinking there is money waiting on the table with their name attached to it. Rajan instead decided to delve deep, to learn the game, the markets, the different analytical approaches and styles, and to develop a foundation which would support a career in trading, rather than simply entering the casino and leaving with empty pockets.
In our latest episode of the AlphaMind Podcast, Rajan shares his journey from promising footballer to head of prop trading firm DND Capital. His journey through the trading world is nothing short of remarkable, and his humility shines through despite his significant success.
Throughout our conversation, Rajan generously shares insights gleaned from his experiences, offering invaluable lessons learned along the way. From pivotal moments in his life and career, and challenges faced in his early life, to his unusual journey into the world of trading, Rajan's story serves as a testament to perseverance and continuous learning.
One of the highlights of our discussion was Rajan's explanation of how he uses a combination of fundamental and technical analysis with sentiment analysis in his work. Rajan also delves into the significance of mindset, discipline, and risk management, providing practical strategies for traders to navigate volatile market conditions with composure.
