Start Low, Go Slow
Kyle’s big trades get the headlines. Yeah, he made over $100,000 on a single trade back in February…
That’s the goal. That’s why he got into trading. Here’s a note he wrote to himself in 2017.
But big trades aren’t HOW he got here.
You have to go back to the first 18 months of his trading career.
Like many beginning traders, Kyle put his trading account before his knowledge account.
He lost more than half of his $6,000 starting balance in his first year of trading…
But he was already working to turn his luck around.
Kyle applied for and was accepted into my Trading Challenge. He watched all of my DVDs. He devoured every single video lesson.
Next, he scaled his position size way down. Sometimes he’d go long on just 100 shares.
He wasn’t trying to build his trading account anymore. Kyle understood that he needed to first build his knowledge account. He had to work on his strategy first.
Shorts of Increasing Size
By his second year, Kyle had worked out his strategy.
He’d started out going long with panic dip buying. But that didn’t really work for him.
Next, he tried buying breakouts. He says he was terrible at it and that he didn’t have the patience.
Eventually, Kyle turned to short selling with the first red day strategy. And he learned to short OTC promotions.
This is the point where you might start tuning out. You may just want to go long. So you think this doesn’t apply to you.

Preparation Meets Opportunity
First, check out Kyle’s stats:
- 2018: Kyle makes $32,282
- 2019: He makes $92,100
- 2020: This is the year that Kyle’s preparation pays off for him. He makes $701,167 — his best year yet.
He did it by sticking in his wheelhouse. Kyle didn’t change his limits or take on more risk.
And he knew what worked for him. He was able to size up and take bigger risks safely when an opportunity came.
This made for some MASSIVE profits. But I want to look at the next two months.
Changing Gears in a Changing Market
Up to this point, Kyle had gone 90% short and 10% long.
But the market was changing, and Kyle saw a new opportunity.
The first few months of 2021 were amazing for OTCs. But they could make volatile moves.
So Kyle leveraged his short-selling skills to go long.
“If I was a short seller, would I want to short safely right here?” That’s what Kyle would ask himself.
In other words, if he wouldn’t short it, he knew the odds would be better for going long…
So he changed his tactics. From a heavily short-biased trader, he started going long 50% of the time.
He got good at trading breakouts — good enough to lead the Breakouts & Breakdowns chat room.
In the first two months of 2021, he made more than he had for the entire year in 2020. He banked an incredible $714,064.
