Why do you like to trade with SpiceProp?
I like SpiceProp because they treat their traders with genuine loyalty. It’s not just the service—though that’s good—but the way they give you the sense that you’re valued. They’re transparent, responsive, and they understand that every trader, even a beginner, deserves a fair shot.
What is the most important thing that helped you to pass the SpiceProp challenge?
Number one was risk management. Without that, you’re just gambling. I stuck to my strategy, respected my limits, and didn’t let emotions take over. I think patience played a huge role too—forty days might sound short, but in trading it can feel like a lifetime.
What was the key moment in your career as a trader?
The turning point for me wasn’t a single “big win.” It was the moment I realised trading is less about chasing profits and more about constantly improving your skills. Once I shifted my focus to learning, the results started to come naturally.

How long have you been trading?
Almost five years now. I started young, made plenty of mistakes, but every one of them taught me something. I don’t regret the losses—they were like tuition fees for the real education.
What is your trading plan?
Patience, multiplied by three. I wait for the right setup, no matter how long it takes. I’d rather sit on my hands than jump into the wrong trade. Discipline is what separates a plan from chaos.
What quality of your character helped you succeed in the SpiceProp challenge (in three words)?
Patience. Emotional control. And the ability to avoid overtrading. These three are my anchors. Without them, I’d never have made it through.
What separates the average traders from the best?
The best traders never stop learning. They test, they refine, they adapt. Average traders often look for shortcuts, but the truth is you have to build a system that can carry you in the long run.
Can you tell us about the best piece of advice that brought you good results in the SpiceProp challenge?
It’s simple: don’t force the market. If you try to squeeze money out of it, you’ll only end up losing. The market doesn’t owe you anything—you just wait, and eventually it gives you the right opportunity.
Pourriez-vous partager avec notre communauté SpiceProp Traders des livres, des ressources en ligne ou des personnes qui ont influencé votre développement ?
Bien sûr. Je crois au partage des connaissances, surtout avec ceux qui aspirent à la réussite. J'ai puisé ma sagesse sur des forums, des chaînes YouTube et dans des articles, mais le plus important est de savoir comment l'appliquer. Les ressources peuvent vous guider, mais le véritable travail vous appartient.
Faut-il apprendre de soi-même ou des autres
Les deux, mais pour ma part, j'ai surtout appris de moi-même. L'expérience est le meilleur enseignant, mais aussi le plus honnête. Cela dit, je fais constamment des recherches en ligne, je lis et j'observe les autres pour trouver des idées. Ensuite, je teste tout moi-même. Cet équilibre est ce qui me permet de progresser.
