Alex, 20K Trade The Pool funded trader

Alex C.

Over the past year, Alex has been fine-tuning his short-selling strategy for small-cap stocks. Despite encountering multiple setbacks, he ultimately succeeded in passing the $20,000 mini buying power evaluation. His success stemmed from improving his approach, learning from past errors, and implementing disciplined risk management strategies.

Transitioning to a funded account provided him with a sense of relief and newfound confidence in his trading abilities.

Alex’s trading strategy predominantly focuses on short selling small-cap stocks with low float. He targets a “first red day” pattern after several consecutive green days, which signals a potential downturn. He is also widening up his short-selling strategy to include better risk management techniques, scaling in and out of trades, and balancing day and swing trading.

Tip 1

Risk Management

The whole game of trading revolves around managing your risk.

Tip 2

Scaling In

If it's an A+ setup, I'd feel more comfortable entering the trade full size in maybe 2 or 3 separate orders.

Tip 3

Building a Cushion

Start small, get a bunch of small wins and give yourself that cushion. And it takes a little bit of the pressure off.
