For how long have you been trading?

I have been trading Forex for one and half years.

What instruments do you prefer to trade and why?

I only trade EUR/USD, because it has good liquidity and good directional moves.

What schedule (trading hours) do you have for your trading?

I don't have a special schedule for trading. I just do it when I feel the market is right.

Did you receive personal training from other traders or did you mainly educate yourself on your own?

I have not received any personal training. I am fully self-taught, which has never been an issue for me.

What do you consider the best type of education for a trader?

I think the best type of education is practice.

Do you create your own strategies or use the ones that already exist? Can you briefly describe your strategy?

I use the candlestick formations, moving average and various indicators. My strategy is to judge the direction where the market is heading. In addition, I use Funds Management EA to open trades.

What is the most important quality a trader should have?

I think the most important quality as a trader is patience and persistence, that everyone in this market is striving towards.

How do you deal with losses, does it have an emotional impact on you?

I always set stop-loss. But when I do get a loss then I mostly take some time off from trading and analyse the situation after.

Are you satisfied with our service and is there anything we can improve?

Tickmill is the perfect broker for me.
