Tell us a little bit about you.

I’m half Greek and half Romanian, and when I finished high school, I started to trade. I love traveling and freedom, so that’s why I chose trading. I never gave up, so that’s why, right now, I’m living just on what I make in trading.

How long have you been trading?

I am a full-time trader for 6 years.

Briefly describe your Trading Plan and how it contributes to your success.

My plan is pretty simple. I’m waiting all the time for the perfect set up and wait for it to play out. I also love investing, so I take a lot of long-term trades.

Please share with us a challenge you faced in your trading career and how you overcame it.

I overleveraged markets in the beginning, and I overcame it with discipline over the years.

Describe a key moment in your trading career

When I learned about prop firms

How long does it take to become a consistent trader, and what aspects did you change that helped you become consistent?

It took me about 2 years, and I changed my whole mindset about trading.

 

What is your mental/psychological strength, and how did you develop it?

My mental strength I can say that is at a very good level, and I developed it in time

What was your strategy to successfully pass The5ers’ evaluation?

My strategy is always pretty much the same; I’ll be honest that I am usually a lot more aggressive with challenge phases because targets are big, and I open larger positions so I can hit the targets faster.

How is trading for The5ers different from trading by yourself?

Nothing different, all the same

What would you recommend to someone who is just starting with us?

I would recommend to make a plan and execute it exactly as it is meant to be
