Mustafa B.
Mustafa follows a structured scalping strategy, repeatedly shorting familiar penny stocks after sharp price spikes, particularly on the first red day. He avoids technical indicators, instead relying on price action and support/resistance levels, updating his watchlist each morning by identifying stocks that have spiked 100%-200% for potential continuation trades.
He sees trading as deeply personal, comparing it to a fingerprint—unique to every trader. Mustafa believes success comes from learning through experience, not copying, pushing each trader to develop their own strategy. His journey began part-time in 2010, became full-time by 2013, and recently led to funding after multiple evaluation attempts.
Just $47 from success, Mustafa hit a mental wall—fear of success. That moment reminded him to stay focused on the process, reinforcing the power of persistence.
Tip 1
My golden rule
I tried fixing this issue for so long—morning gains, afternoon losses. Now, I follow my golden rule: I never trade after 13:30.Tip 2
On penny stocks
Sometimes a stock spikes 100%-200% with no news—it’s probably short covering. You have to do your research, check the five-year chart, and determine if there’s more room to run.Tip 3
Never give up
The only difference between consistently profitable traders and those who aren’t? The profitable ones didn’t quit. Align your expectations with your skill set, reduce your share size, and keep going.
