In an exclusive interview with FundedNext, a Zambian trader who has been in the trading game for four years shared his journey of overcoming obstacles and achieving success in the markets. Based in Chinga Province, Zambia, this biomedical scientist-turned-trader revealed the strategy that has helped him thrive in the challenging world of forex trading.
Starting his trading career while managing a full-time job, the trader embraced a part-time approach, focusing on swing trading with a strategy rooted in the Falcon trading method. “The journey has been full of ups and downs, but persistence has paid off,” he said, reflecting on his progress over the past few years.
When asked about his trading approach, the Zambian trader emphasized his focus on the forex market, analyzing up to 28 currency pairs every week. He uses a multi-timeframe analysis, starting from the monthly chart down to the 15-minute chart for execution, with most of his trades taking place on the 1-hour and 15-minute timeframes. By identifying key value areas, he meticulously watches how price approaches them, waiting for the right momentum before entering trades.
His trading strategy revolves around three key approaches: trading impulsive moves with continuation patterns, trading corrective moves with breakouts, and waiting for reversal patterns. With a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:3 to 1:4, he strategically places his trades, ensuring maximum profitability while managing risks.
Currently, in evaluation with FundedNext, the trader has already secured one funded account and is confident in his approach. “Persistence is key,” he says, advising others looking to get funded. “Develop your strategy, be patient, and focus on consistency.”
