  1. I consider myself an ambivert and a firm believer in learning. In forex, proper education is really important for successful trading and risk comes when you are not aware about what you're doing.

    I don’t get distracted easily. If I have planned to do something, I will stick to it and won’t let any distractions win over me. I analyse the market thoroughly and trade only when I am in a position to take a loss.

  3. I personally try to hold on to my emotions and develop strong traits such as confidence and optimism, which I believe I have developed and will continue to work on.

    Hopefully that jives with trading. You need to follow rules to trade but you also have to be very agile i think.
