In this funded trader interview, Jaylen Laudermilk explains how nearly seven years of market experience—from trading in high school and college to specializing in small caps—led to a $25K FLEX funded account. A short seller at heart, Jaylen targets stocks below $25 with tight float and market-cap criteria, then looks for early spikes near higher-timeframe resistance. His evaluation produced a 57% success rate, 1.67 profit factor, and $252.90 NXTC short.

Jaylen's strongest message: Build a cushion first and tailor the strategy to the account’s risk rules.

He is funded with $25,000 buying power. 🎯
