The #1 Mistake New Traders Make, ft. Florian S - $25,000 Funded Trader
About this episode
Welcome to another Trade The Pool funded trader interview. Today, Michael sits down with Florian S., a FLEX $25,000 funded trader from Germany!
Florian shares his discretionary shorting strategy with small caps and penny stocks using Trade The Pool’s stock-focused, limited-risk proprietary trading platform.
Starting trading two and a half years ago, Florian discusses losing his $2,000 personal account, failing three evaluations due to psychological pressure, and passing the FLEX $25K evaluation on his fourth attempt. With a 54% win rate and an impeccable 1:7.1 risk/reward ratio, his disciplined reversal strategy and tight loss control highlight the power of patience and risk management.
