He lost money swing trading long in his sophomore and junior years of college before discovering short selling in his senior year — where he turned $5K into $1 million in eight months. But the lessons didn't stop there. He lost $500,000 in the following three months, teaching him the importance of wiring out profits and never trading with money he couldn't afford to lose.Discover what Phil calls "extreme risk management" — why he expects to be green immediately on every entry, how he pyramids into positions, and why he never adds to losing trades. Learn how cutting out C and D trades doubled his profits, why he sizes down during drawdowns, and how studying your biggest losses is where the real edge is found.Phil walks through real trade examples including his seven-figure SMCI short, the MSTR parabolic reversal, and the frustrating SLV silver trade that didn't perform to his expectations.
