Mikhail T., from Russia, evolved as a trader by adapting to Trade The Pool’s rules. He passed the FLEX 25K evaluation after multiple attempts, despite early emotional setbacks from the 30-second rule and penny stock volatility.
Unlike others, he goes long on penny stocks with clean charts, targeting U-shaped patterns above 50% retracement, entering mid-bounce to catch short squeezes at mini-psychology levels ($0.25-$0.50 increments). He scales out 15-30% at key levels based on daily chart analysis, exiting early in slow markets. He praises TTP’s intuitive platform, advising rule adaptation, psychological discipline, and scalable exits to exploit volatility without revenge trading.
Tip 1
Long edge in penny stocks
People tend to short clean charts, that’s where I concentrate. Shorters get greedy, and when the squeeze comes, they’re done.
Tip 2
U-shaped pattern strategy
I trade the first move on news, but my main focus is the U‑shaped second move. If the stock consolidates above 50% and starts to bounce, I buy between the bounce and the high around key psychological levels. That’s when short sellers panic.
