George started as a health care provider. He began trading in 2018, initially shorting penny stocks tied to FDA calendar. Early struggles with small capital and volatile low floats challenged his consistency until he joined a trading community during a bear market.

In 2024, guided by his cousin and a mentor, he shifted to large-cap stocks, targeting same-day earnings plays with opening range breakouts and VWAP/9 EMA reversions. By embracing Trade The Pool’s risk parameters and sim trading, he passed the $25K FLEX evaluation, proving that transitioning from a brokerage account to a prop firm is indeed achievable.

George's evaluation stats:

• Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. ($HALO)
• Success rate: 43%
• Risk/Reward ratio: 1:3.7
• Biggest win: +$407, long on $HALO x 250 shares
• Biggest loss: -$226, long on $TWLO x 200 shares
