Expert Advice: Stop chasing prediction or rankings; follow a predefined plan, control risk, and let statistical edge and consistency do the work.

Translation of the Q&A:

Q1: Thank you for joining FastBull, Kitti! From your perspective, what is the greatest value of a global trading competition like FastBull GOLD?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：From the perspective of FISG’s advisory work, the FastBull competition acts as a powerful accelerator for the global trading ecosystem. It provides a transparent environment where proprietary firms and independent traders can validate their expertise and publicly demonstrate strategic discipline. A verified performance record created under competitive conditions gives traders the statistical credibility required to pursue long-term professional opportunities.

Q2：If you were to assess whether a trader has long-term sustainability, which behavioral traits would you focus on most?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：In our work with traders across different market cycles, one trait consistently defines long-term sustainability: emotional stability under pressure. The ability to absorb losses, reassess assumptions, and adapt to changing market regimes is essential. Whether a trader operates intraday or over longer horizons, navigating drawdowns constructively is the true gateway to longevity.

Q3：You have long provided market analysis support to clients. In a competitive trading environment, how should analysis and execution work together?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：My role within the FISG framework is to help traders develop a structured approach to speculation and capital deployment. I don’t promise outcomes—neither in competitions nor in live markets—but I focus on strengthening psychological resilience. When traders gain control over fear and impulse, execution naturally aligns with analysis.

Q4：You are known for maintaining a relatively low drawdown. During a competition, in what ways does loss control demonstrate its importance?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：Across both competitive and institutional environments, one risk consistently stands out: leverage misuse. Increasing exposure while positions are underwater creates an asymmetric profile that is extremely difficult to recover from. Experience gained through FISG’s risk-focused approach shows that strict adherence to predefined risk parameters is often the difference between survival and liquidation.

Q5：As an advisor, which core skill would you most like participants to improve through the competition?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：A recurring theme in professional advisory work is traders’ tendency to focus on entry precision while overlooking probability. Even with optimal risk-reward ratios, a setup misaligned with the dominant market structure has a low expectancy. For example, counter-trend positioning in Gold during a macro bullish phase significantly reduces the odds of success, regardless of technical finesse.

Q6：If unexpected news during the competition causes sharp spikes or drops in gold prices, would you recommend chasing the volatility, or staying on the sidelines for safety?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：One lesson emphasized repeatedly in professional trading environments like those supported by FISG is this: prediction is unnecessary. News-driven volatility creates inefficiencies—temporary mispricings driven by fear or greed. Traders who remain calm and execute predefined plans can benefit, while those reacting emotionally tend to underperform.

Q7：In a short-term competition like this, how many dollars of profit per trade do you think is sufficient to justify a decisive exit?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：Profit targets are highly strategy-dependent. Within professional trading structures, including those commonly applied at FISG, scalping systems may function efficiently with modest risk-reward ratios, while momentum-based ‘sniper’ setups aim for asymmetric returns. In expanding Gold ranges, these conditions can justify extending reward expectations well beyond conventional limits.

Q8：For participants with relatively limited trading experience, what do you think they should focus on most during the competition?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：Many traders possess technically sound strategies yet fail due to a misplaced focus on external comparison. In professional trading environments, the emphasis is always on execution consistency. If a system is statistically robust, ranking outcomes become a function of probability—not emotion or competition-induced pressure.

Q9：The 2026 FastBull GOLD Demo Trading Competition Global S1 the battle for the leaderboard is already underway. For traders who are currently watching from the sidelines, what practical trading lessons can they learn by observing daily changes in the rankings? And how would you encourage these observers to stop hesitating and step into the arena themselves in future FastBull seasons?

Kitti Thanakitkumthon：Observing peers from your region perform at a high level can be a powerful motivator. Within the broader FISG community, we often see that real progress begins only when traders commit capital and responsibility to their decisions. Insight is earned through participation. Growth does not happen on the sidelines.
