Background and Trading Journey

• Ramon was introduced to trading by his cousin, who showed him basic fundamental concepts and stock trading.

• Emphasizes simplicity and clarity, rejecting the notion that trading must be complex.
• Trades mainly three currency pairs, concentrating on:

  • EUR/USD
  • JPY-related pairs
• He believes in focusing on a limited number of assets (max three) to avoid confusion and enhance focus on market behavior and structure.

Market Focus and Asset Selection
