João trades large-cap breakouts, focusing on stocks like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia for their patterns. He uses Trade The Pool’s no-borrow perk to short penny stocks. He aims for 1:3 to 1:4 risk-reward setups and moves stops to breakeven fast, especially if the market is going against him. In rangy markets with false signals, João switches to daily movers, changing his focus to reversals.
He started trading in 2017, drawn to the lucrative volatility of penny stocks. Trading through Interactive Brokers gave him experience, but the stress of risking his own money pushed him to Trade The Pool. João passed a $20,000 evaluation on his second try, learning from his first failed attempt.
