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

I got into trading about three to four years ago. I started with stocks and later expanded into forex. Over the past six months, I’ve mainly been trading forex and gold.

What was the most valuable lesson you learnt while trading?

Keep learning and constantly explore a trading system that suits you. Until you fully understand your trading logic, you’re basically trading blindly.

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

Stay calm regardless of gains or losses, remain patient, and always remember to set stop-loss orders.

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

I traded gold using a scalping strategy. I don’t remember the exact profit, but it was a considerable amount in a very short time.

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

I like Tickmill for its fast customer support, low spreads, and frequent promotions. I definitely recommend it.
