Aneury D.

Aneury, from the Netherlands Antilles, started trading years ago managing a huge futures account but lost it to over-risking from overconfidence. He transitioned to stocks via Trade The Pool on a FLEX 25K account. He now trades to protect his capital, setting $100 loss limits, taking profits early, and using TTP’s daily pause to reset after losses, while practicing on free trials to improve execution.

His strategy involves shorting small-cap stocks after news-driven surges, holding positions after-hours into the next day’s open with average five-hour holds, using candle analysis, volume, and a $0.10 ten-tick rule to exit at support or fading momentum. He targets volatile movers like $MCVT for fading catalysts, dynamically sets stops and profits based on charts. Aneury praises TTP’s daily pause for loss protection and platform speed, advising strict limits, early cuts on $80 losses, and holding only high-probability setups.

Tip 1

Silver lining of fear

What I learned is you have to trade scared. You have to trade with a sense of capital protection before anything else. You have to put risk management number one.

Tip 2

Taking profits early

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.
