Perrin Vasava, founder of Artha and a top-performing female trader, shares her rapid ascent from zero trading experience to ranking in the top 15 of the 2024 U.S. Investing Championship in just a few years. She attributes her success not to innate talent, but to a powerful mentorship with Vankat, a seasoned trader and computer science peer, and the use of a proprietary algorithm built on 20 years of research. Her data-driven, bottom-up trading strategy focuses on liquid stocks with strong technical setups, particularly in high-growth sectors like biotech and semiconductors, using stage analysis, MACD, and customized indicators. She emphasizes discipline, continuous learning, and psychological resilience as the core pillars of consistent success, while also leveraging AI for trade review and risk management. Perrin’s teaching philosophy centers on hands-on practice with small capital, helping clients—especially women—develop confidence and independence in trading. The episode highlights the transformative power of accessible financial education in the modern era, contrasting today’s abundance of resources with the barriers of past decades. Perrin stresses that trading is a teachable skill, not a gendered one, and that the real challenge lies in mastering one’s psychology and adapting to volatile market conditions—especially in the era of unpredictable macro events like political tweets. She shares key trades like GPCR, GDXU, and LABU, illustrating how patience, proper risk sizing, and hedging with inverse ETFs helped her navigate both bull and bear markets. Her journey underscores that success comes not from quick wins, but from structured learning, mentorship, and relentless self-improvement.
Success in trading comes from disciplined mentorship, not just raw talent—Perrin credits her mentor for 90% of her progress.
Use a data-driven, algorithm-assisted strategy focused on liquidity (80M+), stage analysis, and technical indicators to filter high-probability trades.
Practice with small capital ($100–$1,000) to build confidence and remove emotion before scaling up.
Psychology is the #1 obstacle—overcoming self-doubt and emotional trading is essential for long-term success.
Adapt your strategy to market conditions: in volatile times, use shorter timeframes, hedging, and staggered profit-taking.

Perrin recounts how the pandemic provided the time and motivation to dive into trading. With her background in data science and coding, she partnered with Vankat to build and test trading strategies. Her first real-world test was with a friend who turned a 40% profit in two years—proof that trading is teachable.

“Yeah, so it is basically zero credit to me and full credit to my mentor. So he is the one who has given like 20 plus years into this trade and he has blown up his account. He has done all the work.”
“In a good market, even our mistakes are going to make money. But in a bad market, even our best strategies are going to lose money.”
“You don't want to buy the dip because you don't know how far it's going to dip. And for that exact same logic, you do want to buy the rip because you don't know how high it's going to rip.”
