Interview

Proprietary trading is rapidly gaining momentum in Vietnam, not only as a promising career path but also as an engaging way to build self-discipline and sharpen financial instincts. One of the rising stars in this field is Đỗ Chiến Thắng, a dedicated trader and valued client of SpiceProp.

In spring 2025, Đỗ Chiến Thắng purchased a €25,000 Chilli Pepper account and completed the trading challenge in an astonishing 7 days. Today, he is a verified SpiceTrader working on a funded account and receiving consistent monthly payouts. We spoke with Đỗ Chiến Thắng about his trading journey, his experience with SpiceProp, and what keeps him moving forward in the fast-paced world of trading.

Why do you prefer trading with SpiceProp?

For me, the main advantages are affordability, strict adherence to anti-money laundering policies, transparency, and above all – trust. SpiceProp delivers a fair and secure trading environment, and that’s exactly what traders need to focus on performance without unnecessary distractions.

What was the most important factor in helping you pass the SpiceProp challenge?

Remaining calm and patient. That may sound simple, but it's crucial. When emotions take over, mistakes happen. The key is to stick to your strategy and trust your process, even when the market becomes unpredictable.

What would you say was the defining moment in your trading career?

The moment I realised I could push beyond my own limitations – to truly surpass myself. Trading teaches you a lot about who you are. When I began breaking through mental and emotional barriers, I knew I had grown not just as a trader, but as a person.

Đỗ Chiến Thắng completed his €25K Chilli Pepper account challenge in just 7 days — a true testament to his skill and discipline.

How long have you been trading?

I’ve been trading for about seven years now. It’s been a long road, full of ups and downs, but each year has brought more insight, more discipline, and greater control over my strategy and mindset.

What does your trading plan look like?

I’m a patient trader. My strategy is built around waiting for the price to form a clear model – a setup that aligns with my rules. I don't rush into trades. Discipline and timing are everything.

What personal quality helps you the most in challenges like the one at SpiceProp?

Let me put it this way: in trading, there's a symbol – XAU – which stands for gold. And I believe that the most valuable quality in a person is like gold. So the more "gold" – that is, patience, discipline, inner strength – you have in your character, the more likely you are to succeed.

In May and June 2025 alone, Đỗ Chiến Thắng received over €2,500 in payouts from his funded SpiceProp account.

In your opinion, what separates average traders from the best?

Patience. It’s as simple and as difficult as that. The best traders know how to wait. They don't chase the market; they let the market come to them.

What’s the best advice you’ve received that helped you during the SpiceProp challenge?

Again, it’s about keeping calm. Stay composed no matter what’s happening on the screen. Emotional stability is your greatest ally in this business.

Are there any books, resources or mentors that had a significant impact on your development as a trader?

Yes – the book Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas had a huge influence on me. It helped me understand the mental side of trading, which is just as important – if not more so – than the technicals.

Do you believe we should learn more from others, or from ourselves?

From ourselves. Experience is the best teacher. While you can definitely gain insights from others, your own mistakes and reflections are what truly shape you as a trader. Self-awareness is the foundation of long-term success.
