Kevin Avery, is one of Trade The Pool’s Live Trading host. A trader from the USA who started trading in 2016 during college. In his early days, he battled revenge trading and FOMO in options, futures, and day trading, often blowing up personal accounts.
He shorts almost exclusively, reacting to price at resistance on hangover plays or intraday patterns like head-and-shoulders, using 1 and 5-minute charts for confirmation on stocks like $KRKR. Kevin scales small positions dynamically, taking partial profits early, and trailing leftovers at break-even.
In addition, he praises MAX’s $250 daily pause for enforcing discipline, advising series of trades focus, scaling on greens, and reacting over predicting to avoid squeezes.
Tip 1
Confirmation Over Anticipation
With shorting, I don’t predict — I just react to price action, always choosing confirmation over anticipation.
Tip 2
Learning From Drawdowns
You only learn in the drawdowns. Those drawdowns get seared into your memory. You don't really learn through the wins. Honestly, if you have a win, and you broke your rules, that's a bad thing.
