Watch The Interview With Arbnor
Starting Out
Arbnor moved to Waco, Texas, to focus on his studies and trading. He hit the books and DVDs for eight months before starting paper trading for another eight to nine months. By putting in the work, he was able to transition from paper trading to trading with real money smoothly.
Trading Strategy
Arbnor focuses primarily on short selling small-cap stocks, typically under $20 and over 50 cents. He looks for overextension, where a stock goes from one dollar to nine dollars in one day or a few days. Once he starts to see signs of weakness, such as a mean red candle or buying volume not moving the chart anymore, he will start to short sell.
Determining the Top
When asked how he determines the top, Arbnor states that it’s an art and a science. He looks for multiple indicators of weakness, such as red candles, volume buying not moving the chart anymore, and signs of topping off. He doesn’t know for sure if it’s the top, but the more indicators he sees, the more confident he is in the trade.
Scaling into Positions
Arbnor used to go all-in on a trade, but he has since learned to scale into positions. By scaling in, he gets better averages and can manage risk better.
Conclusion
Arbnor’s trading journey is a testament to the importance of putting in the work and developing a strategy that works for you. His focus on short selling small-cap stocks under $20 and over 50 cents has proven successful, and he has been able to make $160K as a funded trader. His willingness to adapt and learn has helped him to become a successful trader and a valuable member of Trade Pool.
