How long have you been trading and how did you start?

I have been trading in the financial markets since 2012. I started with the Brazilian futures market, and in 2014 I began trading forex. 

What was the most valuable lesson you learnt while trading?

The best trader is the one who knows how to lose. 

What qualities or habits do you think are essential for a trader?

First, you need to love what you do. Discipline, risk management and a good trading strategy are essential.

Describe your best trade so far: which instrument, strategy and profit did you make?

EURUSD. I used Fibonacci combined with price action to open short positions during a period of USD depreciation. The trade lasted about three weeks and resulted in a profit of €2,200.

What do you like most about Tickmill and why would you recommend us?

Tickmill offers the best cost-benefit ratio in the market for retail forex traders. I really like the low spreads and reasonably priced commissions.
