Please describe your trading journey. How long are you trading? when you become consistent? what made the change for you?
I’ve discover the forex market almost tree years ago. After experiencing some losses, I’ve met a friend who is a trading coach, he helped me better understand the market. Then I continue my trading formation myself using first a demo account and learning from my own experiences.
How were you introduced to trading?
I was making some research a few years back when I wanted to make invest in stock market. I experience some losses and trough a friend, I’ve met a trading coach Who help me understand the market and build a strategy.
Describe your trading plan.
Look at bigger time frame to see the trend. Then, at lower time frame (d1 and h4) to look for signal : candlesticks or chart pattern. And when I find a signal I wait for the confirmation and the best entry. I use the moving average to confirm the position. I determine also a stop loss and the take profit using them. Then, I place the position with the fewer risk/reward ratio.
Tell us about your trading routine
Each day, very early, I do a technical analysis and see if I can find opportunities. Having a normal work doesn’t allow to stay on my computer so I have to place position using at least h4 Time frame. When I place a position I have to check it a few times during the day. And then when I com back home, I can search for others opportunities for the evening. The forex market is almost always open!
How do you manage risk in your trading? Do you have a risk management technique you can explain?
I always look for positions where the risk/reward ratio is at least 1/3. To do that, I have to enter the position at the perfect entry where I risk a just a few pips. So even if the market doesn’t follow my position, I’ll never lose a lot.

Discipline, it takes time to analyse and understand the market.A good psychology, build a trading strategy and always stick to it.Patience, stay away from the market when there is no clear direction.
