Proactive trader and portfolio manager with experience in US stock and futures markets, and an understanding of psychology's role in trading. Operate my portfolios with different strategies. A hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong skills in fundamental and technical approaches. Ready to share my knowledge and to help the team achieve company goals and ready to absorb new knowledge. Never gave up even in difficult personal and market conditions.

Have experience in operating 3 own portfolios with different managing strategies: active trading, active investing, and passive long-term portfolio with an average overall annual growth of 53,34%. Being almost 5 years in this environment - still passionate about it. I have paid a lot of my own money for this experience and never regret it. Trading and investing is the only field I wish to work in.

My journey to the US market started with self-studying of investments and passive dividend yield portfolios, one year later I passed Alex Gerchik's course of technical analysis and received a "levels-based trading technical knowledge" but it was still unclear to me, why the prices work the way it did. A few months later I revealed for myself a CAN SLIM William O'Neil investing strategy, first by reading his book and later by studying and applying that strategy in my real portfolios. It worked successfully until COVID-19, later the russian invasion happened to my country, and in addition to the markets fall, the electricity and internet became almost unable to have and I had to deal with huge losses. At that same time, I started to study ICT price action concepts, which I like because it explains all the price movements and the logical reasons for them. So I think I have a good portion of experience made with my own money, and I know what it is like when you have to lock in losses and still stay in this business.
