Starting with just $280, YC scaled his account to nearly half a million dollars in six months, with every trade fully verified on Kinfo. In this episode, he walks through the challenge step by step, sharing live trading recordings, month-by-month performance, and the decision-making process behind trading under constant pressure — where a single bad day could have ended everything. YC also shares what happened after he entered the United States Investing Championship using the same account. After breaking the competition’s return record and ranking first for multiple months, his results were suddenly questioned and he was removed from the standings. YC explains why he believes the competition lacks a real verification process, how results are handled, and why his performance became a problem. ✔️ Follow YC: https://x.com/ChillTrading_YC ✔️ Follow Kinfo: https://x.com/Kinfo ✔️ Follow Stephen Johnson: https://x.com/Jonk87 🔴 Review important disclosure information before watching this video: https://kinfo.com/risk-disclosure --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- how to verify my trades, what is kinfo, what are verified trades, who are verified traders, third party verification, verify millionaire traders, why trading verification, can verification on kinfo be gamed, is kinfo legit, can kinfo be cheated, can i see performance breakdown of, how to trade, verified day trading, verified swing trading, verified option trading, can trade verification be trusted, transparent trader, millionaire transparent trader, what is furu, why is my furu not on kinfo, trade journal, trade journaling, how to write a trading journal #UndiscoveredTraders #DayTrading #SmallAccountChallenge #VerifiedTrading #TradingPodcast #Kinfo #MomentumTrading #Transparency #chatwithtraders #jonk87

    LA Fitness Manager Made $400K+ Trading AT WORK

    👉 Get 3 free months of Tradier Pro: https://kinfo.com/lnk/tradier 👉 Get 1 month free Kinfo PRO and PRO+: https://kinfo.com/lnk/kinfo-pro/ 👉 Check Nick's performance on Kinfo: https://kinfo.com/portfolio/70646/performance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick (AKA Niche) has one of the wildest turnaround stories we’ve had on Undiscovered Traders. From blowing up multiple accounts, taking out personal loans and being -$45,000 in debt — Nick still refused to quit. Years later, he’s verified over $400K on Kinfo, with total profits closer to $750K across all accounts.  In this episode, Nick breaks down how he went from managing a gym and secretly trading from his phone at work… to becoming a full-time trader with a disciplined, data-driven approach — all built on instinct, pattern recognition, and obsessive repetition. You’ll hear the exact moment everything changed, how he clawed back from –$45,000, why dip-buying became his edge, and what finally taught him discipline after years of stubbornness.  We also dive into his chart examples, his feel-based approach to OTC and small caps, why he almost never uses Level 2, and why he still trades entirely from his phone, even after six-figure success.  If you’re a trader grinding through the early years, this is your episode. 📖 Chapters: 00:00 — From LA Fitness to full-time trading 02:30 — Losing everything (twice) and the $350 restart  05:10 — Blowing up personal loans & hitting –$45K 07:50 — The COVID year that changed everything 10:40 — Turning $350 into $700K+ across accounts 13:20 — Travel, freedom, and trading from his phone 17:00 — How Nick scans, prepares, and builds watchlists 20:05 — Small caps vs. large caps: how his strategy shifts 32:00 — Chart breakdown: panic dips & swing entries  44:00 — Final lessons for new traders who want to make it 🔑 Key Learnings: • Success didn’t come fast — it took Nick 10 years, dozens of losses, and painful lessons before anything clicked. • His turning point was eliminating stubbornness, accepting he needed help, and learning through communities and research. • Dip-buying and panic-dips became his main edge — especially when combined with sector hype and volume waves. • He focuses on instinct and feel, not Level 2 — leaning on chart history, volume, social sentiment, and timing. • Trading full-time gave him the discipline to treat markets as a craft rather than a daily profit chase. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✔️ Follow Nick: https://x.com/FourLeafTrader1 ✔️ Follow Kinfo: https://x.com/Kinfo ✔️ Follow Stephen Johnson: https://x.com/Jonk87 🔴 Review important disclosure information before watching this video: https://kinfo.com/risk-disclosure --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- how to verify my trades, what is kinfo, what are verified trades, who are verified traders, third party verification, verify millionaire traders, why trading verification, can verification on kinfo be gamed, is kinfo legit, can kinfo be cheated, can i see performance breakdown of, how to trade, verified day trading, verified swing trading, verified option trading, can trade verification be trusted, transparent trader, millionaire transparent trader, what is furu, why is my furu not on kinfo, trade journal, trade journaling, how to write a trading journal, LA Fitness #UndiscoveredTraders #Kinfo #TradingJourney #DayTrading #SmallCaps #OTCTrading #DipBuy #StockMarket #TraderInterview #FinancialFreedom #DayTrading #QuantTrading #TradingPodcast#chatwithtraders #trading #tradingstrategy #kinfoverified #verifiedtrading #tradingguru #jonk87 #stephenjohnson #lafitness

    10 Years of Boom & Bust. Then 400%+ in Just MONTHS.

    👉 Check Javi's performance on Kinfo: https://kinfo.com/portfolio/44389/performance 👉 Get 1 month free kinfo PRO and PRO+ here: https://kinfo.com/kinfo-pro/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet Javi Medina, a Philippines-based trader who quietly built one of the most unique journeys we’ve ever featured. He trades the U.S. markets on night shift, works as a portfolio manager by day, and has verified $300K in the last 3 months and $500K all-time on Kinfo. His story isn’t just about returns — it’s about a 15-year learning curve, brutal honesty, and the mindset shifts that turned a 60% drawdown into a 422% rebound. In this episode, Javi breaks down: • How a stock-trading competition in university sparked his obsession • Why the Minervini Master Trader Program created a turning point • How he identified he was a “profitable boom-and-bust trader” and fixed it • The rules and psychological frameworks that transformed his equity curve • His process for catching “A+ trades” and engineering tight entries • Why refining your identity matters more than finding the perfect setup 📖 Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: Meet Javi 00:41 – From university to chasing his 10,000 hours ad teaching technical analysis to learn deeper 10:00 – The Minervini turning point 11:00 – Kinfo profit curve & understanding relative strength 16:10 – The “boom-and-bust” realization and fixing drawdowns 20:30 – Trading leading stocks in leading sectors 23:40 – Account size, ramping up, and capital progression 24:20 – Monthly loss caps and new protocols 26:30 – Progressive exposure and avoiding early over-sizing 27:55 – Studying his trades and uncovering bad habits 30:10 – Revenge trades disguised as “persistence” 33:10 – Ego, pain, and the stories traders tell themselves 35:50 – Win rate, tight entries, and edge ratios 48:45 – MVST trade breakdown 1:00:15 – How he combines Minervini + select Elliott Wave elements 1:05:44 – RGTI trade breakdown 1:12:35 – Advice for beginners (A+ model, immersion, mindset) 1:29:00 – “Brokenness is the path to extraordinary” 🔑 Key Learnings: 1. Pain Creates Breakthroughs - The 62% drawdown forced him into changes success alone never would have caused. 2. Process over Results - Yo-yo equity curves reveal process problems, not market problems. 3. Limit Re-Entries - Buying back a stock the same day after a stop was “revenge trading” — no matter how he rationalized it. 4. Lead Markets Matter - He now sticks to leading stocks in leading sectors — keeping RS as his north star. 5. Immersion Shortens the Curve - Whether SMB, Trillium, Minervini, or Lance B., surrounding yourself with A-plus examples accelerates growth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✔️ Follow Javi: https://x.com/javimedina ✔️ Follow kinfo: https://x.com/Kinfo ✔️ Follow Stephen Johnson: https://x.com/Jonk87 🔴 Review important disclosure information before watching this video: https://kinfo.com/risk-disclosure --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- how to verify my trades, what is kinfo, what are verified trades, who are verified traders, third party verification, verify millionaire traders, why trading verification, can verification on kinfo be gamed, is kinfo legit, can kinfo be cheated, can i see performance breakdown of, how to trade, verified day trading, verified swing trading, verified option trading, can trade verification be trusted, transparent trader, millionaire transparent trader, what is furu, why is my furu not on kinfo, trade journal, trade journaling, how to write a trading journal #trading #swingtrading #tradermindset #undiscoveredtraders #stockmarket #technicalanalysis #traderjourney #largecaps #daytrading #investing #javimedina #jonk87 #stephenjohnson #elliottwave #tonyrobbins #minervini #christianflanders #chatwithtraders #tradingpodcast #verifiedprofits
