Meet Muraledharan, a self-taught day trader who transformed personal loss into purpose by mastering the markets—and now teaches others to do the same. With a background in education and a deep desire for time freedom, Muraledharan developed a unique system of Passive Day Trading that delivers consistent results in just a couple of hours a day.
Through his practical, no-fluff approach, Muraledharan empowers everyday people to take control of their financial future. His mission goes beyond profits—it’s about helping others escape the rat race, reclaim their time, and build a life of purpose through trading done right.
What sparked your interest in day trading, and how did you get started?
My journey into trading wasn’t born from spreadsheets or stock tickers—it was born from loss. About 15 years ago, I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer while I was finishing my degree in music and education.
She was a passionate language teacher, the kind every student remembers for life, and she gave everything to her work. But just days after she passed, we received a cold call from her school asking us to clear her desk and return her laptop. She was being replaced within a week.
That moment hit me like a freight train. She was irreplaceable to us—but replaceable to the system. And that’s when I knew I couldn’t live the same fate.
I didn’t want a life where decades of sacrifice could be erased with one phone call. I craved freedom—financial freedom, time freedom, life freedom. My mother always said, ‘Money doesn’t drop from the sky.’ But in that moment, I became determined to prove her wrong—to find a way to make money work for me, instead of the other way around.
So I turned my grief into obsession. I devoured every financial and business book I could find—Think and Grow Rich was the first that rewired my brain, showing me the power of clear targets and belief.
That’s when I started experimenting. I compressed long-term strategies into short-term charts, applying the same principles to intraday timeframes. Within a month, I saw my first 20% week. It wasn’t perfect or consistent yet, but it was enough to make me think: this is it. This is what I want to do for life—and teach others to do too.
The real breakthrough came years later, when I held my firstborn in the hospital for the first time. In that moment, I realised something more important than money: I needed time. I didn’t want to be glued to charts all day—I wanted to raise my children, to actually live.
That’s how Passive Day Trading was born. It gave me the freedom my mother never had. And now, it’s my mission to give that same freedom to others.
What’s your core trading strategy, and how has it evolved over time?
When I started, I traded like most beginners—glued to the screen, jumping in and out of trades, feeling chained to the market. It worked to an extent, but it wasn’t freedom. It was another job, just with more charts.
Over time, I began asking one key question: how can I trade less but earn more? That’s when I started reverse-engineering my own success. I realised most of my profits came from just a few high-quality trades—not from constant monitoring. So I stripped trading down to its essence.
Now, I teach what I call Passive Day Trading. It’s the simplest way to trade: when my signal appears, I press buy or sell, spend a minute entering my stop loss and target price, and then walk away. The trade runs on its own. I do this three times a day: three trades, three minutes, aiming for three-figure profits daily.
That’s it. No overcomplication. No endless screen time. Just a system that works for you—instead of you working for it.
What are the biggest misconceptions people have about day trading?
The first thing people say when they hear I’m a day trader is: “Isn’t that risky?” And they’re right—if you trade without a plan, it’s like driving blindfolded. But here’s the truth: every profession has risk. Doctors face lawsuits, pilots face turbulence, and business owners face failure. The key is learning to control it.
In trading, we call that risk management. Once you master it, the game changes—because your mindset shifts from fear to opportunity. You stop asking, “What if I lose?” and start asking, “How much can I win?” That’s the mindset shift I teach my students. Trading isn’t about chasing danger—it’s about designing reward.

What inspired you to start teaching others how to trade?
When I began making four-figure profits a day in just three minutes, it felt surreal. As a teacher, I couldn’t even dream of earning that in a day—sometimes not even in a week. But it wasn’t just the money that struck me.
It was realising that most people aren’t stuck in jobs because they love them—they’re stuck because they need the paycheck. If money weren’t an issue, they’d live differently. They’d create. They’d serve. They’d truly live.
When I started sharing my methods with a few people, something powerful happened: they began quitting jobs they hated. They launched businesses. They started living differently while their peers remained trapped in the rat race. That’s when I knew—this wasn’t just about trading anymore.
It had become my purpose. My father worked in finance. My mother was a beloved teacher. And I realised I was meant to be the bridge between the two—a financial educator the world actually needs.
How do you help your students manage emotions and stay disciplined?
The number one mistake new traders make is getting caught on the fear–greed rollercoaster. When they win, they get greedy and overtrade. When they lose, they panic and second-guess themselves.
That emotional yo-yo is why most people fail—not because the strategy doesn’t work, but because they don’t. The key is detachment. I teach my students to do what’s necessary—press buy or sell, set the stop loss and target—and then step away. Physically, emotionally, psychologically—step away.
Go live your life while the market does the work. And there’s one non-negotiable rule for every trader I mentor: journal every single trade. Take a screenshot—win or loss—and jot down bullet points on what you did, what you felt, and what you learnt.
Because here’s the truth: there’s no such thing as a successful trader who doesn’t journal. That journal becomes your best teacher—and the fastest way to master your emotions.
Tell us about the 100% ROI in 30 days guarantee.
My system is built on one rhythm: three trades a day, three minutes a day, aiming for three-figure daily profits. When you break it down, the maths is undeniable. Statistically, you’re looking at 2–5% returns per day.
Over 20 trading days, that stacks up to 40% to even 100% returns. That means protecting your capital—and in the right months, potentially doubling your money. To make it tangible: if you follow my method, you should be making between $1K and $10K per month.
And I believe in it so strongly that I back it with a guarantee: if you trade daily, journal consistently, and put in the effort—and still don’t hit that range in any given month over a year—I’ll refund you. If you’re doing the work, you should see the results.
What’s your vision for Singapore in the next five years?
In five years, I see Singapore becoming a nation where more people break free from the hamster wheel of employment—even self-employment—and transition into becoming traders, investors, and business owners.
Because here’s the truth: if you’re still exchanging time for money, you’ll always hit a ceiling. But when you make your money work for you, that ceiling disappears. Trading, investing, and entrepreneurship aren’t just financial skills—they’re freedom skills.
Passive Day Trading is just one path, but there are many great mentors and coaches here in Singapore teaching from real experience—not just theory. My vision is for Singaporeans to learn from them, level up, and become leaders in showcasing what true financial freedom looks like across Asia.
If you could have a superpower for one day, what would it be and why?
I would heal every person battling cancer. Losing my mother to pancreatic cancer changed my life—it pushed me into trading, into freedom, into teaching—but if I could go back and remove that pain, I would.
Cancer robs families of time they can never reclaim. If I could erase that, even for just one day, the world would be a different place. People would hug longer. Love harder. Live freer. And that, to me, would be the ultimate return on investment.
