ANECDOTE

From A Coffee Meeting To Building A $1.2M Fund

  • Rajan recounts starting with $25k funding via a LinkedIn meeting and scaling to $1.2M by proving the process and adding traders James and Ocean.
  • He used incremental capital increases to show consistency, then recruited and coached others into the fund.
ADVICE

Enforce Daily And Account Circuit Breakers

  • Do implement hard circuit breakers for team risk: Rajan enforces daily and account-level circuit breakers that automatically turn off trading once thresholds are hit.
  • This prevents collective overexposure and enforces consistent risk controls across traders.
INSIGHT

  • Rajan distinguishes analysts from traders: technical analysis teaches reading price; trading requires managing probability, psychology, and asymmetric money management.
  • He uses coin-flip math to show how risk-reward changes required win rate to be profitable.
