Felix is a young trader with a strong mindset and well-grounded beliefs. This has shaped both his personal life and his progress in trading.
In this article, we explore the evolution of Felix, a valued member of our community whom we had the pleasure of meeting at our event in Dubai. Today, we are thrilled to share his story!
A Trader’s Mindset and Motivation
This is one of the interviews we’ve most enjoyed because of the mature mindset Felix has demonstrated; let’s not forget he’s a young trader.
Felix is an athlete in the making, preparing to run marathons by training six times a week. He always aims to find the right balance between work, family, trading, health, and physical preparation. He firmly believes that everything is connected.
“How you do one thing is how you do everything.”
He confessed to us that he loves the term Champion, deeply resonating with its true meaning within our community.
“A champion isn’t someone who wins once. It’s someone who wins again and again by doing the right things repeatedly.”
A Family-Driven Start in Trading
Felix comes from a family of entrepreneurs. As he grew up, he witnessed the hard work his family put into building their home and business. This motivated him to find his own path.
He wanted nothing less than to work hard and specialise in a craft where he could give back and prove to himself that he could make it.
In 2021, he and his father became interested in cryptocurrencies and decided to start investing in them. Excited by everything involved in trading and investing, they began educating themselves, searching for information, watching videos, and learning how to analyse charts.
Before long, Felix had become the trading expert in his family and circle of friends.
Discovering Chart Champions
It wasn’t easy at the start. The crypto space is tricky, full of people selling a fake lifestyle, often flaunting rented Lambos. In his own words: “It’s easier to pretend to be a trader than to actually trade.” With 95% of traders losing money, he knew it was a challenging game.
Then one day, he came across a video of Daniel on YouTube. He forwarded it to his dad, who has significant business experience and quickly said: “This one is real”. From that moment on, the real trading journey began. Felix was looking for a challenge, and he dove right in.
“We realised this would be a rough ride, but it was a proper challenge. And I never step away from a challenge.”
What he liked the most was that the analysis was focused on teaching, explaining charts and what happened. There was no promotion, just a real analyst behind the charts.
Psychology and Community: Why it Matters
Felix considers himself a fast learner. He grasps theory quickly, which greatly helped his learning process. Absorbing information and learning new concepts was never the issue.
He even applies reverse psychology to trading, which has served him well. He’s not afraid to go against the masses. So, he quickly understood that most people get wrecked and used that to his advantage.
However, Felix emphasises that being part of a trading community was very important to him because trading can be a lonely experience. To him, it’s essential to have someone to learn from and someone to share your journey with.
“The psychological side is huge. Having the coaches, especially Severin, who I relate to, helped me a lot.”
Felix’s Trading Routine: Momentum
For Felix, momentum is everything. Being in that mental state where you connect and flow with the market is key. That’s why his trading routine is crucial.
His day starts early by marking up levels of interest and keeping his analysis as simple as possible. A quick glance at the market structure and nearby support and resistance levels is enough to build an early bias.
Felix is flexible. If he has a busy day and can’t get in sync with the market, he acknowledges it as a situation that could backfire, and he doesn’t overthink it.
Felix’s Long-Term Vision
Felix doesn’t see trading as a quick escape or a stepping stone. He sees it as a challenge that constantly evolves. He’s open to change, but whatever the path, he wants to do it well.
“I want to keep challenging myself and be part of this journey with Chart Champions. I want to master trading and get better at everything I do.”
What Felix Would Tell His Younger Self
In this interview, Felix showed himself to be a grounded person, firm in his beliefs. That’s why he now shares a core truth: trading is not about shortcuts.
“It will take much longer than you think. So take your time. Be detached. Know why you’re doing this. Trading is an advanced game that will change you.”
He draws parallels to paying university tuition: in trading, your losses are your tuition. The earlier you accept that, the faster you grow. Felix believes every great trader has scars, and those scars are the price of wisdom.
