My name is Sergio Pinelo. I'm from Seville, Spain
and I'm currently finishing my degree
and it relates to trading.
I also have my trading channel.
In my free time, I do the typical:
hang out with friends and family.
I have been in the trading world for six years now
and practically from day one, I started trading.
My start in trading was through an advertisement I found in
a digital newspaper.
From that very moment, I loved the idea of trading,
and from the beginning, I remember trading a lot of assets,
like almost everyone does. From there I went to trading indices,
which included the Spanish index, also the German DAX.
I remember trading it a lot, and lately, I've been focusing
on the NASDAQ 100, which is the US technology index
and the truth is that it's the only one I'm currently trading.
I always go for what's simple
and I have stayed with that one since it's the one I like the most.
My trading strategy is basically based on price action
accompanied by volume.
I like to trade breakouts,
and my favorite chart is the one-minute chart,
which is the one I use.
My biggest success with trading...
My trading is quite linear, so I don't have
any super trades that I can showcase here,
but my great success, I think, would be in overcoming
the tests and increasing the capital in my accounts.
The worst trade... I remember in March 2020,
when there was a lot of volatility,
I was many days without trading and I think
I had a day where the long time without trading
made me exceed my daily risk level.
So I remember it as something negative for my trading.
What I liked most about Gauntlet Mini
was the implementation of the LiveSim account,
which was what really pushed me to try the program.
I remember seeing posts from this company through YouTube,
that was what influenced me the most
and when I saw the feature of being able to trade
with simulated profit accounts, I didn't think twice about it.
It took me more than a month to pass this kind of test.
When I was close to achieving the goal,
I always made a little mistake
and always took two steps backwards, instead of one step forward.
That was really the mistake I made the most:
wanting to pass the tests as soon as possible.
I really learned with the passing of time is that
in order to succeed, you have to be patient,
and that everything eventually comes to someone who does it right.
It was actually quite rewarding to pass the Earn2Trade test
on the last day when I was about to finish my trading day.
Regarding the advice I'd give to people who want to
get funded with the Gauntlet Mini is to be patient.
This type of evaluation takes time.
Don't try to pass the test in 2 or 3 days.
Take it easy and show what you can do in the simulation period.
If you've done well, relax, you'll get that funded account for sure.
