Watch the interview with Christopher L

• How were you introduced to trading?
  My uncle was a day trader of US stocks and suggested I might be interested in them….after time I went onto FX.

• After how much time did you become a consistent trader?
  It took a few years, mainly due to psychology more than anything else.

• Do you have a specific trading plan?
  It’s pretty basic. I prefer to find major points on a chart, normally related to a large round number. When they are numbers being broken that are monthly in nature – I become much more aggressive.

• Please describe your trading routine?
  I am an analyst by profession, so I am constantly watching the markets.

• Do you have any risk management techniques? If so, please, elaborate?
  Under normal circumstances, I risk only 1/2 percent per trade. As a general rule, I don’t risk more than 100 pips, even on long-term trades. I NEVER trade against a longer-term trend.

• What was your biggest challenge in trading, and how did you overcome it?
  Psychology of taking losses. 5ers helped a lot because of the forced parameters.

• What was the key moment of your trading career?
  There are many, but the day I earned a full-time job as an analyst is one of the biggest.

• What do you think are the most important characteristics for maintaining a stable trading career?
  Understand that there are opportunities all of the time. Also, you need to understand when you should NOT be trading.
• Do you apply any mental/psychological routines while trading?
  Not really, at least nothing in particular. The one thing that will help is looking at the longer-term charts and understanding that any one trade is but a blip on the radar.

• What was your strategy for successfully passing The 5%ers’ Evaluation Program?
  I was pretty consistent most of the time with looking at round number support and resistance. When the EUR/USD finally took out the 1.20 level on December 1, I got aggressive, mainly because it had been so important for so long. When something like that breaks – it normally means a huge move.

• Please share your recommendations for online resources that were/are significant in your trading development.
  babypips.com is a great resource if you are starting out. I also would recommend reading anything by Dr. Brett Steenbarger.

• Would you like to share anything else with us?
  Just to thank you for the opportunity.
