Michael T.

Michael day trades large caps like CRWV and small caps like APLD, targeting breakouts and pullback buys with price action and volume, risking $1-$3 per trade for a 57% win rate and 3.2 risk/reward ratio. He seeks high-quality setups driven by news or momentum, favoring extended consolidations in large caps and shorter flags in small caps, while diversifying to avoid forced trades in choppy markets.

Furthermore, he started trading 13 years ago in college with an S&P 500 ETF in a Roth IRA, then scored a 700% gain on marijuana penny stock MJNA, turning $7,000 into $40,000 profit. Over the past year and a half with Trade The Pool, he earned $75,000 in payouts averaging $7,000 monthly while keeping his job, overcoming emotional trading from oversized positions by enforcing discipline through the platform’s risk parameters.

Tip 1

Diversify and see

By being open to [large and small caps], you’re allowing yourself to find higher quality trades when certain trading setups might not really be the best time for it.

Tip 2

Sizing and emotions

When you start trading too big of size, that’s where you get emotional... you end up taking a bigger loss when it could have been a green trade. I think I definitely trade the most consistently with sizing in a band of $1-$3 risk.
