[00:00] Mati, Mati, un trader profesional, ¿opera sin broker? No, eso es 100% falso. Un trader profesional sí o sí opera con un buen broker. ¿Y elegir un buen broker? Elegir un buen broker, eso sí es una característica de un trader profesional,
[00:12] porque todo trader profesional va a elegir bien el broker donde va a depositar su dinero y tener las mejores condiciones, como en mi caso es Exnes. ¿Y cambiar de estrategia cada día? Eso es 100% de novato. Yo recuerdo que en el principio cuando empecé a meterme en el trading,
[00:25] todas las noches buscaba una estrategia diferente para querer implementar, implementar pero no eso es 100% de trader novato y tener una sola estrategia tener una sola estrategia de 100% un trader profesional como yo ahora después de tantos años que pude pulir mi estrategia y la
[00:39] aplicó de la misma manera todos los días y operar desde cualquier lado eso es de trader profesional ya que un trader profesional puede manejar sus emociones y hacer trading desde donde sea un trader novato siempre quiere el setup perfecto para tradear pero un trader profesional lo puede
[00:54] hacer desde una notebook y usar mt5 bien configurado y usar mt5 bien configurado eso es falso eso es de trader novato la verdad que no hay mucho que configurar en metatrader 5 pero algunos le ponen indicadores cosas así pero no eso es de trader novato un trader profesional opera sin configurarlo
[01:10] y un trader que no se forma y un trader que no se forma de 100% un novato un trader que no se forma primero invierte y luego se forma mientras que un trader profesional primero se forma y luego invierte si vos querés invertir conmigo dejo un comentario que te paso el broker que utilizo y
[01:24] y mi canal de YouTube para que puedas operar conmigo todos los días.
