Since acquainting myself with financial markets back in 2006, so it’s been about 15 years. I began with currency trading. At the time, it was the quickest way to immerse oneself in the world of finance. I then gradually transitioned to stock markets, where I remain to this day.

Asset trading has always been a secondary income source. Nevertheless, my primary line of work is both directly and indirectly related to investments.

I’d compare my investment career to a roller coaster. It was a bumpy ride. Lots of ups and downs, especially at the beginning. Since then, it’s been a smooth road up.

Stock markets have become an inalienable part of my life. As my primary job requires my constant presence in the market, I dedicate most of the day to looking for and studying new opportunities in the market. It definitely has an impact on my personal life. Having an ever-growing financial cushion affords me security and confidence going forward.

I generally invest in overseas stocks, most of them in American markets.

As I see it, no less than a combination of all analysis types can render a positive, stable, long-term outcome. I’d therefore describe my analysis style as a sort of combined approach, or a combination of fundamental factors and a technical picture based on whatever the current situation is.

My purchase of TVIX stocks at the beginning of 2020. My timing was off as the share price revolved around $193. But that didn’t throw me off one bit, for by mid-March, its value hit $1000.

If you invest, especially in financial markets, psychology is definitely important and, in my opinion, determines 90% of success. I don’t have a specific tactic in the classical/typical sense of the word; I simply rely on my 15 years of experience to inform my decisions. Throughout that time, I made a lot of errors that contributed to the formation of my trading intuition.

Financial markets are currently experiencing a transformation. The world is rapidly digitizing, and that applies to trade. Young people are choosing new platforms like Robinhood that are rewriting the rules. The rules and norms of 30 or 50 years ago that applied when selecting assets for one’s portfolio no longer work. The market is shapeshifting. Ahead of us is the transition from fiat money to digital currency, with blockchain technology increasingly making its way into different industries. 0% interest policies and infinite monetary expansion, which have been going on for over 10 years, will, in my view, lead to an economic paradigm shift. It remains to be seen what will come of it in the end. I’m nevertheless sure opportunities for investments and capital expansion will only increase.

Emotional control, patience and the ability to acknowledge mistakes.

I would advise novice investors to take time out of each day to study the market and gradually understand how it works. They can take a course by experienced and successful investors. If you’re currently mirroring a strategy, take the time to independently learn why a certain transaction was performed. This will aid the transition to independent actions in financial markets.
