Trader of the month - Deborah Honorato. 238% profit in November [Tickmill competition]

In November, the best trader of the month, or rather a trader, was Deborah Honorato, who was awarded $ 1000 from Tickmill. This is the first woman to be ranked in the "Trader of the Month" competition. Deborah has shown remarkable precision and efficiency. She made just 20 trades which brought her a total profit of $ 8,324.80. The rate of return is an impressive 238%. The trader herself claims that she has a very conservative approach to trading, which would be perfectly in line with the female nature of taking risks.

18 with 20 position on Bitcoin

Bitcoin is dominant in Deborah's transaction history. As many as 18 out of 20 items were included on this instrument. Interestingly, 8 of them are short positions, on which the vast majority recorded a profit. The transaction volume ranged from 1.00 lots to 14.00 lots. Deborah traded in the afternoon or evening, with the largest single position gain of $ 2.

The remaining two items, except for BTC, were included in the USD / JPY pair with a much more modest volume (0.5 lot) and ended with less spectacular results (+ 71 $ and -8 $).

The trader herself in the interview did not give too much detail about her trade methodology. However, analyzing the statement, it can be seen that transactions lasting up to several minutes prevail, which were additionally rarely secured by Stop Lossem (and without TP).

competition rules

The trader is selected by the Tickmill Jury. The win is not only determined by the rate of return - it is the total that matters. Overall, i.e. the factors such as earned profit, position management, risk and trading skills are taken into account. There is also one more necessary condition - interviewing the broker and consent to make the account history public. Only then does the prize of $ 1 go to the trader's investment account.

The principles introduced are aimed not only at showing that you can make money on the Forex market, but also consciously educate and encourage sharing experience with other traders.
