Meet Fernando: From Trucking to Full-Time Trading Success

The inspiring journey of Fernando, one of FundedNext most successful traders from the USA. His story highlights determination, resilience, and the power of overcoming obstacles to achieve financial freedom.

Hailing from Texas, USA, Fernando has transitioned from working at a truck company to becoming a full-time trader.

His Trading Journey Begins

He began his trading journey about eight years ago. He initially entered the world of trading with the common misconception of it being a "get rich quick scheme," influenced by social media ads showcasing lavish lifestyles. However, his perception quickly changed as he realised that trading is "nothing like that" and requires dedication and learning.

Overcoming Significant Obstacles

Like many traders, Fernando faced considerable challenges. His biggest obstacles were:

• Time Management: He juggled a demanding work schedule, often working 8 to 14 hours per day, while also needing to find time to learn trading and dedicate to his family.
• Language Barrier: The majority of vital trading information is in English, which is not Fernando, first language, making it harder to access and understand crucial knowledge.

Why FundedNext Stood Out

Fernando was motivated to join FundedNext due to several key factors that set the proprietary firm apart:

• Compensation Profit Split: This was a significant draw for him.
• Excellent Customer Service: He highly valued the support provided.
• Great Interaction with Managers: Positive engagement with the FundedNext team was a major plus.
• Professional and Competitive Company: Fernando recognised FundedNext as a top-tier firm.

It's worth noting that FundedNext offers a 15% profit share right from the challenge phase in both their Express and Evaluation models. They also provide a dedicated account manager, 24/7 support, and a scale-up plan of up to four million dollars, all designed to support skillful traders.

Fernando Trading Style and Ultimate Goals

Fernando favourite trading pair is US30. His ultimate goal as a trader is to achieve financial freedom, allowing him to "enjoy each day with [his] family and enjoy life". This aligns perfectly with the concept of trading, offering three types of freedom: freedom of travel, freedom of time, and freedom of money.

Handling Losses and Advice for Fellow Traders

When faced with losses, Fernando strategy is to "sit back and analyse to see what I did wrong and learn from it". This analytical approach to mistakes is crucial for continuous improvement.

For aspiring and current traders within the FundedNext community, Fernando offers invaluable advice:

• "Do not give up, keep trying until you make it".
• "Learn from your mistakes".
• "Have patience".
• "Keep control of your emotions when trading".

These words underscore the psychological aspect of trading, emphasizing that mastery of one's mind is key to controlling trading positions and achieving consistent profitability.

Fernando journey is a testament to the fact that with persistence, a commitment to learning, and the right support, anyone can navigate the complexities of trading and achieve their financial aspirations.
