Tell us a little bit about you. I am 54 years old. Before, I tried many ways to beat the market but could not. Now I trade by following my trading setup.
How long have you been trading?
Almost 20 years for the stock market but only 4-5 months for forex. I am a part-time trader.
Briefly describe your Trading Plan and how it contributes to your success. I only trade when the market is trending. I will only trade according to the trend. By using the price action of the candlestick and then following the price pullback.
Please share with us a challenge you faced in your trading career and how you overcame it. The challenge is I am focusing on trying to beat the market. That is making my trading not follow my trading setup and not make a profit. The way that I go over it is I try not to focus on beating the market but go back to sticking to the trading setup.
How did you adjust risk management to your trading personality? Every time I will trade not more than one percent of my port at that time, and I set a stop loss on every trade.
Describe a key moment in your trading career. My 2 most important moments. The first moment is when I am on finding my trading setup and put it to the back and forward test and adjust it until I am sure it is profitable. And the second is when I can stop focusing on beating the market and back to focusing on my trading setup.
How long does it take for you to become a consistent trader, and what aspects did you change that helped you to become consistent? It is not long. It happened after I changed my mindset from trading to beating the market to trading as my trading setup.
What is your mental/psychological strength, and how did you develop it? I can hardly say that I’m not worried about psychological in the latter. After, I went back to sticking with the trading setup that I’d adjusted and tested until I was confident. But I also admit that at first, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to stay in the market for long, but I was lucky that I set a stop loss every time I traded, so I still had the capital to continue doing in the market.
