Episode notes
Welcome to another Trade The Pool funded trader interview. Today, Michael sits down with Carlos R., a MAX $200,000 funded trader from Nicaragua!
Carlos started trading in January 2024, sharing how he transitioned from buying and holding large caps to shorting volatile penny stocks and small caps with pump-and-dump patterns using Trade The Pool’s Limited Risk proprietary trading platform.
From overcoming losses due to overtrading, to continuing to work on his shorting strategy, and never giving up, Carlos eventually passed the MAX $200K evaluation on his seventh attempt. He earned a whooping $3,100 payout.
