Pavishya J.

Pavishya J. began trading futures a year and a half ago but found them monotonous, prompting a switch to stocks. She started with paper trading, then moved to live markets, facing consecutive losses that forced a temporary halt. After joining Trade The Pool, she refined her approach, overcoming rule-breaking setbacks to improve.

Despite using tight stops, anxiety kept her from letting profits run. After multiple attempts and strict rule adherence, she secured a $25,000 funded account. Trade The Pool’s structured environment, unlike demos, restored her confidence, allowing her to execute pullback trades without risking personal capital.

Her strategy centers on pullbacks, focusing on open range breakout pullbacks, exhaustion reversals, and pre-market high/low breakouts. Using scanners and trading forums, she narrows her selection to one or two mid and large-cap stocks daily, pivoting to small caps like RGTI when news catalysts emerge.

Tip 1

Her trading strategy

I focus on pullback strategy, and sometimes exhaustion reversals and pre-market high and low breakout. I start with my stock selection with some scanners, and I pick the stocks in play, whichever has the news.

Tip 2

On stock selection

So maximum of four to five stocks. I don't take more than that because I'm not able to focus more and then drill down to first one or two. So at the max, I just take one or two at a time.

Tip 3

Following rules

I'm more of systematic because if you give me a set of rules, I try to fit into that so that I don't make any mistake. I make sure I follow that rule book as much as possible.
