Trader Kevin (aka 3clipz3 to his trading buddies) is a currency trader who uses a single setup to find all his trades. As a full-time trader, Kevin found a system via friends he connected with in a chat room and made small changes to make it fit his own trading style and personality. Although he freely admits that he's not entirely sure how every aspect of his strategy works, he has become an expert at spotting his primary money-making pattern in several currency pairs. In the interview we discuss the three time frames he monitors, including one that is incredibly short. He talks about how his interaction in the chat room has helped him develop as a trader and why he focuses on several specific candle patterns on short-term charts to help him identify the breakouts and pullbacks that are his bread and butter. He also describes how he finds out if a market is "stalling" and how he plays those situations. Finally, we discuss his stops and profit targets and why he sets them in a specific way.
