    “I reached the daily pause and that’s one of the most beautiful mechanism that you guys have. It protects and works with you, not against you.”

    Trading Style

    Aneury shorts small caps post-surge, holding trades from market close to the next open, averaging five hours. He uses a ten-tick ($0.10) rule, exiting on fading volume or support breaks. Dynamic stop losses and profit targets, guided by candlestick patterns, keep risk at $100 per trade.

    His biggest win was a $726.75 short on $MCVT with 200 shares, while his largest loss was $570 on $NDRA with 1,000 shares.

    What Moved $MCT— Week of July 28, 2025

    During the week of July 28, 2025, $MCVT surged over 200% amid speculative fervor and elevated trading activity, driven by enthusiasm for its newly unveiled high‑yield loan program. A scarce float and heavy insider ownership created ideal conditions for a classic short squeeze, drawing intense participation from retail and momentum speculators.

    More About Aneury

Aneury then transitioned to stocks with Trade The Pool, trying to quickly learn and adapt to stock trading and the platform. By practicing during the 14-day trial and analyzing losses, he was able to figure out his edge in the markets.

    Aneury’s Tips

    • Fear as a silver lining: “What I learned is you have to trade scared. You have to trade with a sense of protecting your capital before anything else. You have to put risk management number one.”
    • Taking profits earlier: “If I’m already in profit before the market closes or heading into the next day’s open, I get eager. I watch the candles closely, and if I see price approaching a support zone or retracing, I usually take profit before that move happens”
    • Cutting losses quickly: “If the chart shows the stock won’t move my way, and I’m already down, I close the trade and move on to the next.”
