Luis’ Journey with Traderscale

I’m Luis Cícero, I live in Brasília, but I’m originally from another state. I’ve been living here for 12 years, and I’m a chemist, I still work as a chemist here in Brasília. I’m 40 years old, married, and have a son who’s about to turn two.

Back then, while browsing the internet, I ended up watching a lecture about trading and got interested.

I studied SNR levels, support and resistance and then started adapting them to my own style, developing my own trading system. But there’s also quite a bit of ICT influence in it. I kept studying a lot and tried to remove everything that was too subjective, so it wouldn’t lead me to take impulsive entries.

I ended up developing a set of rules. I have my own checklist that I follow whenever the market reaches certain regions. Once all the rules are met, I know I can take the trade.

I initially bought, I think, two challenges. But before fully understanding the rules, I ended up blowing the first account, spending around two thousand dollars. After that, though, I started achieving quite significant gains.

For sure, it was the mental part. It’s impressive how much we think we’re emotionally balanced and all that, but when we enter the financial market, it’s a different story. The technical side, like the charts, you can learn. I studied chemistry, which is difficult, so I thought mastering the financial market would be easy. But the emotions that trading brings are completely different. I struggled a lot with emotional control in order to manage my trades properly.

Mainly the mental part, training yourself not to keep averaging down, which is something many people end up doing.

t the beginning, it was really tough, sometimes we come across so-called “mentors” who aren’t really mentors. There are a lot of people online selling random things. So I entered the market in kind of the wrong way, but I gradually developed a taste for it. I lost a lot at first, and then I had to reinvent myself.

Especially here at Traderscale, depending on the type of account you have, they don’t allow you to keep opening new positions or making multiple entries, and that’s exactly why I recommend it.

What kept me going was this thought: just like I focused on understanding chart analysis, I could focus on controlling the emotional side. I believed I could improve mentally and I didn’t give up.

Traderscale helped me a lot with discipline. I already had some discipline, but I used to relapse at times, and the company’s rules really helped me stay consistent in the market.

I met Traderscale when I was looking for prop firms. I saw a guy I followed on Instagram talking about Traderscale, so I decided to give it a try and I really liked it. I’ve even been recommending it to my circle of trader friends.

I highly recommend the company, the support is fast, they’re reliable, and the payout was quick and straightforward, with no delays or unnecessary questions. I truly recommend Traderscale and I’m very happy to be trading with you.

For those who are just starting with Traderscale: follow the rules, stay disciplined, avoid the temptation of averaging down and you’ll all enjoy great payouts with Traderscale.
