Atanas Aleksandrov

I’m Atanas Aleksandrov, 30 years old, from Bulgaria. For the past five years, I lived in the Netherlands, but thanks to TraderScale, I was able to return home this year and focus on trading as my main source of income and long-term business.

I started my trading journey around four years ago with crypto. About two years later, I transitioned into Forex trading, which quickly became my main focus. For the past year, I’ve been trading primarily with funded capital from TraderScale.

My trading plan has evolved significantly over the past year as the overall market conditions changed — especially with political and global shifts like Trump’s policies, tariffs, and ongoing wars.

I used to focus mainly on the Asian session due to its lower volatility, but I now concentrate on the London and New York sessions, where liquidity and movement are much stronger. This shift allowed me to catch more structured and high-probability setups.

Plenty — both live and funded accounts. Each blown account came with a valuable lesson, from emotional trading and poor money management to overleveraging. But consistency came through discipline, constant learning, and the decision to never repeat the same mistakes twice.

One of my biggest challenges was risk management. In the beginning, I often overleveraged or took unnecessary risks trying to recover losses quickly. Over time, I realized that proper risk-to-reward ratios and position sizing are what truly make you sustainable as a trader. Discipline replaced emotion — and that was a game changer.

I follow a disciplined risk model where I never risk more than 1% per trade. I aim for a minimum risk-to-reward ratio of 1:2, ensuring that each trade has a clear edge. Over time, this structured approach has helped me stay consistent, protect my capital, and focus on long-term growth rather than short-term wins.

The turning point was when I accepted that trading isn’t about winning every trade — it’s about managing risk and playing the long game. Once I started treating trading as a business, not as a hobby or a gamble, my results and mindset both transformed.

Persistence and structure. I created a clear daily routine, stuck to one strategy, and tracked every trade. I also learned to embrace losses as part of the process instead of fighting them emotionally.

Patience, adaptability, and a strong focus on self-control. Markets change constantly, and the ability to adapt without letting emotions take over is what keeps me ahead.

Trading with TraderScale has been a completely different experience — it brought structure, accountability, and the opportunity to scale capital responsibly. It pushed me to refine my discipline, stick to rules, and trade like a professional.

I’ve been trading with TraderScale for about one year now — and it’s been one of the most transformative experiences in my trading journey.

Respect the process. Don’t rush success — it takes time, patience, and a lot of self-awareness. Focus on risk management first, not profits. The market will always reward consistency, not luck.
