  8 years, I am a swing Trader.

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

• Share with us a challenge you faced in your trading career and how you overcame it?
  Well, for me, it has always been hard to accept losses and the fact that I could be wrong, the overtrading, and the stress while trade was open. Relaxing and understanding that a wrong trade doesn’t mean I am a bad trader made me have a better and calm approach, and I became more profitable.

• How did you adjust risk management to your trading personality?
  I understood that I was risking too much, that every time I would have a loss, I would need to then risk much more to overcome the loss, and that was unsustainable. That’s when I decided to change the approach and reduce the risk. Best decision ever
