Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I’m a trader with 1.5 years of experience in trading smart money concepts. In my free time, I spend time at the gym and work as a teacher.

How long have you been trading?

I have been trading for 1.5 years.

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

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

The biggest challenge was maintaining discipline and adhering to my strategy. At times, my emotions significantly influenced my trading decisions.

How did you adjust risk management to your trading personality?

For me, 1% is ideal. I have tried 0.5%, 0.75%, and found that 1% is easier to manage while calculating losses and profits.

Describe a key moment in your trading career.

The key moment was when I started learning SMC. It worked for me, so I decided to switch to this concept after previous failed attempts with other strategies.

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

I established stricter rules and eliminated one that was holding me back. At times, I don’t adhere to them, and after experiencing a loss, I remember why I created these guidelines. For instance, I set a maximum of 2 trades per day and reduced the number of trades per week.

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

I guess, my strength lies in personal development. I track my inner state after each trade and monitor my emotions, working to accept them rather than control. I also recognize when to stop if needed.

What was your strategy to successfully pass The5ers’ evaluation?

Working with order flow and liquidity sweeps to another liquidity or fair value gap (FVG). You just need to wait for your A+ setup and then take the leap.

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

Take your time with each stage, there’s no need to rush. Work at your own pace.
