Trade The Pool On Audio

In this Trade The Pool Pro Trader Interview, Gagandeep Singh explains how a trading journey that began in Indian equities at age 13 led to a newly funded $25K FLEX account. Now trading stocks alongside futures and options, he favors reversal setups, limited daily activity, predetermined stops, and controlled targets. His evaluation produced a 73% win rate, 1.46 profit factor, and $279.30 DE short. Gagandeep’s most valuable lesson came from painful mistakes: accept when the market proves you wrong, stop adding to losing trades, and know when not to trade. Gagandeep S.’s Strongest Message: Strategies can be learned, but emot...

In this Trade The Pool Pro Trader Interview, Aditya Siwach explains how five years of small-cap experience helped him earn a $50K FLEX funded account. Initially a long-biased trader chasing fast runners, he found a better fit on the short side by waiting for volume to rotate and price to confirm the backside of a move. His evaluation posted a 73% win rate and 1.16 profit factor, while a rare bullish-cycle ZSTK long delivered $840. His core lesson is to start small, control losses, and keep evolving with the market. Adi S.’s Strongest Message: Risk management is everything. Start sm...

In this funded trader interview, Jamshid M. explains how two early account wipeouts, a long break from trading, and six years of persistence eventually led to a $25K MAX funded account.

His evaluation produced a 52% win rate, 7.74 profit factor, and $437.50 WETO winner. His core message: consistency takes time, so trade small, define rules, and follow them.

In this funded trader interview, Henok Afework explains how nearly two years of independent study prepared him to earn a $5K FLEX funded account after only six months of live trading.

His evaluation produced a 40% success rate, 2.21 profit factor, and $110 APP winner. His central message is that developing traders should prioritize patient learning and steady progress over immediate profit. Henok A.’s Strongest Message: Give yourself sufficient time to learn because theoretical kn...

In this funded trader interview, Greece-based Panos K explains how losing a successful Dubai business during the pandemic led him to day trading and, six years later, a $25K FLEX funded account.

His evaluation produced a 61% success rate, 1.34 profit factor, and $117 BYAH winner. His core principle is simple: define what you can lose before considering what you can make. Panos K.’s Strongest Message: Find your edge, then keep your losses small. Panos believes traders mu...
