How long have you been trading?
I have been trading since summer 2015.
How did you get involved in Forex trading?
Back then my brother said to me that we have to learn how to trade on Forex market, if we dont want to be poor for the rest of our lives :). So we started learning and earning at the same time. Of course it was not easy and I have blown many demo accounts but I never gave up. And I mean never! I am CEO in my own construction company and now I have done that 10years. I have no experience and school or anything in Trading or business. I have done all by myself. I am just curious and I think that I have totally different ways to do it than others.
What is your trading style?
My Trading Style is funny and always I say it is "snow coop" Trading. I usually say there is no rules. And I dont care where price goes. For me most important thing is that market is moving.
Do you practice risk management?
And other weird thing is that I dont use stop loss when price goes negative. The important thing is that account is almost "even" or "frozen."
What are some good habits smart traders develop?
Learning all the time. I am learning more all the time and want to be better.
Describe your best/most memorable trade (How much did you profit? What was the strategy? What pair?)
My best day at the moment is 28.11.2017 when I made about 30k EUR in one day.
What advice would you give to new traders?
You can learn everything if you really want to. You have to learn and understand how MetaTrader and FOREX is working.
Considering the current state of the market, what do you think are the news/events traders should keep an eye on?
I don´t follow news releases.
What are the most important things you look for in a Forex broker?
Spreads, regulation and trade execution.
