Check it out: Trader of the month earned 108 thousand. USD in December 2022

Over 1000 transactions in a month

Sounds crazy? It looks like that too. Mohammed's Statement is incredibly long and contains over 1000 items. The dominant instrument is the US30, which is a CFD on an American index Dow Jones 30 however, there is also no shortage of transactions on gold and GBP / USD. How did the trader of the month of January trade? In short: aggressively.

The trading history consists of many short-term trades and scalps. Positions were never held to the next day. Volume? In relation to the capital held, large. Aggressive trading, a lot of positions at once (pyramidal) and in most cases none Stop Loss. This sounds like a recipe for failure. And yet it worked. By what right? First of all, because Mohammed regularly paid out the profits earned. For almost the entire month, he regularly withdrew earnings from the account and did not exceed the level of 30. USD deposit. The change came at the end of January when more volume came into play (25 lots on US30 per position). At that time, the profits also accelerated, but the risk also increased, which was felt in the fluctuations of the capital on the account. Ultimately it paid off. But will the result be repeated? We keep our fingers crossed for it!
