The5ers recently highlighted the remarkable journey of Demetrius, one of their successful traders who has achieved milestones in his trading career. Starting with an $80,000 high-stakes account, Demetrius has impressively earned six payouts totaling $15,195 and scaled his account twice. His next ambitious goal is to reach a 10% increase to elevate his account to $100,000.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Demetrius is a military veteran with a passion for travel, anime, gaming, and art. His trading journey began six years ago, driven by the desire for financial and time freedom. As a position trader, he focuses on specific setups, favoring risk-reward ratios of 1:3 or better, and has implemented strict trading discipline, stepping back after three consecutive losses.
Demetrius faced early challenges in his trading career, particularly in finding consistent and reliable information. By learning from various sources, he eventually developed a trading plan that aligned with his personality and risk tolerance. With a focus on risk management, he ensures that his winning trades often exceed his monthly salary from traditional employment, allowing him to avoid over-leveraging.
A pivotal moment in Demetrius’s trading journey was making his first $100 profit in a live account. This success solidified his belief in trading as a pathway to financial independence. After overcoming initial hurdles, he estimates it took him about three years to achieve consistency in trading.
Demetrius emphasizes the importance of risk management, adhering to a solid trading plan, and prioritizing quality setups over quantity. He advises newcomers to The5ers to develop a strategy that works for them while always keeping risk management in mind.
