My background: I have been trading since 2015, started with stocks for long term investing, later learned to trade futures for short term trading. My education background is in Engineering, yes that doesn't help at all in terms of trading. It's actually more of a hindrance than a benefit, because trading is more an Art than Science. It took me some time to remove my engineer hat and accept that there is no holy grail, no 95% confidence interval in trading. In the trading world, being wrong is actually part of the business, unlike in engineering where wrong decisions are not allowed.

Trader's strategy: I'm a manual trader who trades with both fundamentals and technical analysis. I consistently screen thru many charts and read fundamental news looking for trading opportunities. I don't scalp, you can see my average win pips is around 20 pips. I don't use martingale or grid, I only enter 1 or 2 entries per pair. Risk management Risk management is my top priority, especially during the drawdown, I will make sure I don't blow the account. That's why you see I always use very low leverage on my trades, I want to make money with my trading edge, not by gambling with high leverage.

Profit Expectation: As I have mentioned, profit is secondary in my trading, managing risk is my top priority. So how much profit can I generate depends on the volatility and the number of trade ideas or opportunities available in the market. I'm always watching the market, even during my holidays. So I will make sure I try to find as many trade ideas I can. Trading is my life and I'm very passionate about it. I think I have not had a day not watching the market for the past 3 years. Basically, the more trade ideas I get, the more profits I will generate. I will not try to leverage up to get more profits, my focus is to follow my trading plan and just take whatever profits the market is giving.
