Interview with a trader

How long have you been involved in trading and how did your adventure begin?

I started 2015 in August. One of my friends claimed that you can not make money on the Forex market. I decided to check it out.

What is your strategy and methodology of risk management?

I mainly rely on technical analysis and my own EA. In the area of ​​risk management, everything depends on the invoice. In the case of some I use very risky strategies, in others I set a very narrow SL, counting on a high RR ratio.

What are the good habits of a trader?

First of all, the ability to understand risk. Markets are completely unpredictable - technical analysis is only a tool to enter positions, the rest is really mathematics and statistics.

Do you have an unforgettable transaction in your history?

I earned the most from a pair of GBP / USD. I pulled 150 000 USD in a single position.

What would you advise beginners?

To start with a small step technique and do not try to "eat with large spoons" right away. Although now trading on 500 face value bills of thousands of dollars, I started with micro accounts.

What is the most important thing for you at Forex broker?

Quick deposits and withdrawals, uninterrupted execution of orders and functional Customer Panel.
