I’m Le Xuan Tan from Vietnam. I trade full-time as a day trader. I focus on disciplined, consistent trading and always seek to improve my strategy and mindset. I enjoy learning from real market experience and truly appreciate the opportunity to grow with a prop firm like The5ers.
I have been trading for 8 years.
I trade according to the market structure trend, use supply and demand areas as entry zones, and use small time frames to place orders.
My biggest challenge in my trading career is a series of consecutive losses, usually 5 to 10 in a row. I was very impatient and had difficulty controlling my psychology. I fixed this issue by limiting the number of orders per day and extending the time between entries. For example, if I lose 1–2 consecutive orders, I stop and wait 3–4 hours before re-entering. If I continue to lose, I take a break and resume trading the next day. I also set my trading hours to around 14:00 to 23:00 Vietnam time.
I realized I perform best when I use lower risk per trade and wait for high-probability setups. I use a fixed % risk model (usually 0.5–0.7%) and never increase position size emotionally. This approach matches my personality and keeps me mentally stable during drawdowns.
It took me about 5 years to achieve consistency. I had to change a lot of trading methods, adjust my trading rules, and develop discipline so that it suited my personality and schedule. I simplified my strategy and started treating trading as a serious job.
My strength is patience and emotional control. I developed it by following the plan and always reminding myself that the market will still be there tomorrow. I don’t rush into trades when the requirements aren’t met. I also remind myself that the goal is long-term consistency, not short-term excitement.
As a day trader, I focus on the main trend, especially during the New York session. I trade only one instrument that I know very well: XAU/USD (gold). I follow strict risk management, avoid overtrading, and only take trades that meet all my setup criteria. Staying calm and treating every position like a normal trade helps me stay focused and ultimately helped me pass the first level successfully.
