Deepak Uppal

The Deepak Uppal trading method is documented at the level of detail USIC's allocator-ladder positioning was built for: published methodology, repeated top-five championship audits, a TraderLion interview that walks through the actual rules. The 2023 USIC closed at +259.2% (5th overall); the 2024 MMVR $1M+ Stock Division closed at +153.2% (3rd, on a verified million-plus account); the 2024 nine-month interim had him 2nd in the division at +58.3%. Two consecutive top-five years across two account-size tiers is what the championship's verification protocol is designed to surface — not a single-year explosive run, but a documented two-year repeatable.

The system is swing-trade equities — positions held days to weeks — looking for traditional basing patterns (Cup & Handle, Bull Flag) and the strongest stocks as they pull back into support and consolidate recent gains. Maximum risk per trade is 1% of account value; targeted reward-to-risk is 3:1. He worked through many different time frames before settling on swing-trading as the fit for his personality — the TraderLion writeup is explicit that the methodology evolved through testing rather than being adopted whole.

Uppal has an MBA from the University of Illinois, runs an active X account at @duppal75, and has appeared on the USIC YouTube interview series and the TraderLion podcast. The reachability profile is one of the highest on the 2024 leaderboard.
