More About Paul Singh
Paul has been trading since the late 90s internet boom. After
blowing up 2 accounts after a 200k run up during the boom, he got
serious around the mid-2000s.
After completing six years of serious part-time trading around
a job, Paul transitioned to full-time trading and has been a
full-time trader since 2012.
In 2014, he was approached by his former student Kunal Desai
(interview here) to run the swing trading service at
BullsonWallstreet. Paul continues to personally mentor select
traders.
