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.

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.
