How long have you been trading and how did you start?

I have been active in the market since 2016. I got started through friends. Initially, I focused mainly on trading cryptocurrencies.

What was the most valuable lesson you learnt while trading?

The biggest lesson is to always use stop-loss orders and avoid trading emotionally. Establishing a clear system and becoming proficient in that system is essential.

What qualities or habits do you think are essential for a trader?

Having the necessary knowledge and discipline is key. When you deviate from your system, you are likely to struggle.

Describe your best trade so far: which instrument, strategy and profit did you make?

My most successful trade was on a funded account, where I achieved a profit of 19R in a single trade. I used the “Photon Strategy.” However, when I act emotionally, I sometimes step outside my system, which is my main weakness.

What do you like most about Tickmill and why would you recommend us?

Primarily the deposit and withdrawal processes, as well as the competitive spreads. These factors are what led me to trade with your company.
