Inside the Combine, Artem Brovko Shares His Keys to Passing the Program

Fondexx creates unique opportunities for traders who want to improve their skills and reach a new level in professional trading.

 One such opportunity is the Proptrading Program, in which participants initially trade on a demo account. If a trader demonstrates stability, discipline, and rich profitability target, they receive an account with company funds to continue trading, but with real money. 

The program offers several options for participants, depending on their level of training and goals. 

Among those who have completed this challenge is our client Artem Brovko. He won the Combine Proptrading Program and received a $3,000 account for trading, funded by the company.  We asked him about his experience participating in the program, the challenges he overcame, and his advice for those planning to join the Proptrading Program.

Interview with Artem Brovko

- How long have you been trading?

I have been trading since 2008, but I started doing it seriously only last year. There were many breaks, periods of misunderstanding, and a lack of information. I studied at Gerchik's school, took a course on penny stocks under the supervision of Klochkov, and attended lectures by Simon Braginsky. Still, the most important stage was in 2018, when I started working with Fondexx products and services.

I have been participating in all of the company's contests and programs since 2018. I would like to thank Fondexx for promoting and developing trading on the US stock market. In addition, when I participated in a 3-week contest, the team fulfilled all its promises regarding the payment for 1st place. I received the funds to my personal account immediately after the winner was announced.

- What do you think helped you the most during the Proptrading Program?

My experience and constant search for the perfect deal helped me the most, although sometimes even the most “sure trades” can let you down. The main elements that have remained unchanged are discipline, risk management, and belief in my own trades.

- What strategy did you use?

There were many strategies: from short pumps to buying dumps (on short squeeze). I traded breakouts, breakdowns, that is, everything I observed and understood. The main thing is not the strategy itself, but the ability to stick to the chosen risk limits and believe in yourself.

- What advice would you give to other participants who are currently enrolled in or planning to enroll in the program?

The most important thing is to understand yourself. Go into trading for at least a year without breaks and work every day, regardless of the circumstances. If you're having a bad day, reduce the risk and trade until the first negative deal.

If the day is good, do the same thing, but you need to be in the market every single day, from bell to bell, for at least a year. Then the results will speak for themselves. 

All your feelings, conclusions, and changes in strategy should be noted and reread before each trading session. 

There is no perfect approach — it all depends on how you can “hack” yourself and learn to survive in the market.
