ABOUT VJ
I left Goldman Sachs to build the institutional trading education I wished existed.
I started trading in high school. I went on to study Economics at San Jose State, then joined Goldman Sachs, where I worked on complex transaction analyses, built models used by global teams, and developed a deep understanding of how institutional capital actually moves.
What I saw was a gap. Retail traders are taught completely different rules than the ones institutions use. The retail world runs on indicators, signals, and noise. The institutional world runs on context, structure, and process.
I built SharmaFX in 2020 to close that gap: to give serious traders access to the same analytical framework, without the gatekeeping, without the six-figure price tag, and without the dependency that signals create.

THE SHARMAFX PROCESS
Consistency is not discovered. It is engineered.
Every SharmaFX student learns the same four-step framework. This is what institutional traders do, and what most retail traders skip entirely.
01 – CONTEXT
Market Context & Bias
Macro drivers, session behavior, and higher-timeframe structure define when participation is valid.
02 – RISK
Risk Structure
Position sizing, invalidation, and exposure limits are defined before any trade is considered.
03 – EXECUTION
Execution Discipline
Trades are executed only when structure, timing, and rules align, never in reaction to price.
04 – REVIEW
Feedback & Optimization
Performance is reviewed through journaling, data, and behavioral tracking to refine decisions.
The goal is not more trades. The goal is fewer decisions, executed better.
STUDENT RESULTS
What changes when structure replaces guesswork.
These are not best-case results. They are the consistent outcome when traders commit to process over prediction.
$1,000 → $4,150 in 4 months
“Before SharmaFX, I was jumping between strategies found on YouTube. This program showed me how fundamentals, sentiment, and technicals work together. My drawdown dropped and my account grew by actually trading less.”
A. Shah · Self-Paced Academy
Drawdown: 18% → under 7%
“The first environment where risk management wasn’t just discussed: it was enforced. Weekly reviews exposed mistakes I couldn’t see alone. My account grew 35% in two months while drawdown dropped to under 7%.”
Mike V. · Accelerator
$500 → $4,000 in 5 months
“Having someone review my execution and hold me accountable changed everything. I stopped overtrading, started respecting my rules, and the account growth followed naturally from that discipline.”
R. Patel · Live Mentorship
Win rate: 46% → 61%
“The Accelerator forced me to treat trading as a performance discipline. Every trade had to be justified: bias, entry, risk. In 2.5 months, my win rate went from 46% to 61% and my account grew from $2,000 to $3,150.”

Common Questions From Traders Considering SharmaFX
Before you enroll, here is what serious traders most often ask about institutional trading education and how SharmaFX works.
What is SharmaFX?
SharmaFX is an institutional trading education platform founded in 2020 by a former Goldman Sachs analyst. It teaches forex, stocks, and crypto through market structure, macro context, and risk management, the same framework institutional traders use, delivered through self-paced courses, live mentorship, and a structured funded account program.
Is SharmaFX a signals service or copy-trading group?
No. SharmaFX does not provide trade signals, alerts, or copy-trading. Every program is education only: you learn to read market structure, build your own bias, and execute your own trades under a defined risk process. Signals create dependency, and removing that dependency is central to why SharmaFX exists.
How much does SharmaFX cost?
Trading Foundations is free. Self-Paced Academy is $150 per month, Execution Lab is $100 per month, and Live Mentorship is $275 per month. The Funded Account Accelerator runs as a 12-week Founding Cohort. Placement is based on experience and goals, not a mandated entry point, and there are no refunds or transfers once enrolled.
Who is SharmaFX for?
SharmaFX is built for traders who want to treat trading as a discipline rather than a shortcut: people balancing trading around a 9 to 5 job, traders who have blown an account chasing indicators or signals, and anyone who wants an institutional level process instead of conflicting information from social media.
What makes SharmaFX different from typical trading education?
SharmaFX does not teach indicators, chart patterns, or signal based trading. Students learn market structure, liquidity, order flow, macro fundamentals, and session behavior, then apply that lens with defined risk parameters such as fixed position sizing and a set risk to reward target per trade.
Do I need trading experience to start?
No. Trading Foundations is designed for complete beginners and covers how markets move, candlesticks, fundamentals, and sentiment before any paid program. From there, placement into Self-Paced Academy, Execution Lab, or Live Mentorship depends on your experience and goals.
