Q&A With Mohammed
Tell us a little bit about yourself
I am Mohammed Alshareef, a trader in the American stock market. I began trading with a focus on small stocks and later transitioned to large-cap stocks. Overtime, I’ve been refining my strategy and developing my skills to adapt to the fast-paced nature of the market.
How long have you been trading?
I started trading in 2021.
Briefly describe your trading plan and how it contributes to your success
My trading centered around the “gap and go” technique, where I take long and short positions, especially in the first hour of the market opening. This strategy works well for me because it aligns with my focus on reacting quickly to market movements while maintaining discipline.
Share with us a challenge you faced in your trading career and how you overcame it?
The biggest challenge I faced was scaling my trading volume effectively. In the early stages, I focused too much on rapid growth and learned to pace myself more effectively. This experience taught me the importance of steady, gradual improvement rather than rushing into bigger positions.
How did you adjust risk management to your trading personality?
- My personal risk tolerance and my comfort level with potential losses.
- Separating my emotions from trading decisions and sticking to my plan has been crucial in maintaining discipline and consistency.
Describe a key moment in your trading career
A defining moment in my trading journey was realizing the importance of patience and discipline. I learned that success doesn’t come from quick wins, but from continuous learning and refining my approach to the market.
How long did it take for you to become a consistent trader, and what aspects did you change for that?
It took me almost two years, to become a consistent, and throughout this time, I focused on understanding risk better and accepting that the key to success is knowing what I am willing to lose before considering potential gains.
What is your mental/psychological strength, and how did you develop it
My mental strength comes from continuous learning and sharing experiences with fellow traders. Engaging in conversations and exchanging insights has helped me remain grounded and focused on long-term success.
What was your strategy for successfully passing the evaluation phase?
I applied my “gap and go” strategy, consistently executing long and short positions with discipline and managing risks carefully.
How has Trade The Pool improved your trading?
Trade The Pool has helped me enhance my discipline and improve my account management. I now take a more measured approach by spreading my risk across multiple traders rather than concentrating too much on any single one.
What would you recommend to someone who is just starting with us?
I recommend focusing on applying your strategy consistently and managing your risks carefully. Don’t worry about the evaluation duration or expiration date; instead, concentrate on following your plan and improving gradually without rushing to hit the target.
Share online resources that were/are significant in your trading development.
Tradervue has been a valuable tool in tracking and reviewing my trades, allowing me to analyze and refine my strategies effectively.
