In this funded trader interview, Cristian D., a seven-year market participant, explains how he earned his first $25K FLEX funded account on his second evaluation attempt. Trading roughly 90% from the short side, Cristian targets volatile small-cap stocks that spike without a meaningful catalyst, using volume, VWAP, the daily 200 SMA, and key support and resistance levels. His evaluation produced a 61.54% success rate and 1:1.0 risk-reward ratio, highlighted by a $462.50 NVVE long. His strongest message is that discipline, especially knowing how to lose—matters more than finding a perfect setup.
