Thank you for everyone who participated!
The Myfxbook Team.
I found the both traders very sympathic, and – please don’t judge me for that – latte is even a beautiful fellow trader. 🙂 (It was a big-big surprise for me to see her picture in the end of the interview.)
It must be a great feeling to make such a good result so young (and after just a few months of trading.)
Big congratulations to you, and all who made a good result in the contest!
