ABOUT SHARMAFX
Building Independent
Forex Traders
SharmaFX exists to develop disciplined, consistent traders through structured education — not to create followers dependent on signals or gurus.
Institutional Standards for Independent Traders
Our Mandate
To develop independent market professionals through structured education that emphasizes discipline, risk control, and sustainable decision-making — not shortcuts, signals, or dependency.
Discipline First
Trading competence is built through disciplined execution and repeatable processes — not secret strategies, indicators, or shortcuts.
Process Over Outcomes
Progress is measured by execution quality, adherence to risk parameters, and decision-making consistency — not individual trade outcomes.
Independence
Our objective is to develop traders capable of operating independently, with the skills and judgment to make decisions without reliance on signals, alerts, or external direction.
Long-Term Credibility
SharmaFX is built as a long-term educational institution. We prioritize credibility, standards, and professional integrity over short-term results or marketing appeal.
OUR BELIEFS
Education That Creates
Independence
Every component of the SharmaFX curriculum is designed to develop self-sufficient traders. We focus on analytical thinking, structured decision-making, and independent execution—rather than reliance on signals, personalities, or shortcuts.
- Foundations before complexity
- Clarity over proprietary or “secret” strategies
- Fundamental analysis provides context, not prediction
- Execution is a skill developed through repetition
- Pre-live market work builds habits that transfer to live trading
- Liquidity, spreads, and risk are core competencies
- Independence is the objective, dependency is the failure mode
These principles define how SharmaFX approaches education, risk, and decision-making. To maintain clarity and alignment with professional standards, it is equally important to define what SharmaFX is—and what it is not.

THE FOUNDER
VJ Sharma
Founder & Lead Trader, SharmaFX
SharmaFX is a founder-led trading education and development platform, established in 2020 by VJ Sharma — an active multi-asset trader with nearly a decade of experience across foreign exchange, equities, commodities, and digital assets.
SharmaFX was built in response to a structural gap VJ observed early in her career: retail traders were often inundated with strategies, indicators, and signal-driven approaches, yet rarely trained to think probabilistically, manage risk with discipline, or evaluate decisions using repeatable frameworks applied by professional market participants. From inception, the platform emphasized execution quality, risk governance, and decision-making consistency over prediction, strategy hopping, or performance marketing.
As SharmaFX expanded, the platform’s educational work and market engagement led to professional exposure at Goldman Sachs, where VJ gained firsthand insight into institutional capital management, market structure, and risk oversight across public and private markets. That experience materially reshaped SharmaFX’s standards: reinforcing a risk-first philosophy, execution discipline, and long-term capital thinking aligned with institutional practice.
Today, SharmaFX operates as an independent education platform embedded within a broader professional trading ecosystem. The firm collaborates with multiple regulated brokers, analytics providers, charting platforms, journaling systems, and market intelligence tools to ensure participants learn within real-world environments used by professionals. These partnerships are designed to support trader development, not to influence curriculum or promote dependency.
VJ remains an active trader, applying the same frameworks taught within SharmaFX across live market conditions. This ongoing market participation ensures the curriculum remains grounded in current liquidity dynamics, volatility regimes, and execution realities rather than static theory or historical examples.
SharmaFX’s work and educational framework have been featured in Yahoo! Finance, Business Insider, Influencive, Benzinga, and many more, and the firm maintains ongoing partnerships across the global trading and fintech landscape. SharmaFX provides education only and does not offer investment advice, discretionary trading, asset management, or performance guarantees.
SharmaFX exists to develop independent traders through disciplined process, risk control, and professional market standards.

Risk Disclosure
Trading foreign exchange (forex) and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The high degree of leverage available in forex trading can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.
Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose entirely. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
SharmaFX provides education only. We do not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or asset management services. All trading decisions are made by individual traders at their own risk.
