This is Steven Dux. He learned how to trade in just 6 months, then made over $50,000,000. Everyone chases breakouts, but Steven mastered the one thing most traders overlook. Here’s how he built a trading empire with one setup:
Dux starts every year with $2M in capital. The reason is simple: Because going bigger causes liquidity issues. Even at his level, he won’t risk outsizing the market. Discipline > ego.
His filters for trades are strict: – Up 20%+ – Price > $3 – >1M shares premarket – Market cap < $1B – Float < 100M If it doesn’t meet this? He skips it, no matter how tempting.

He’s 98–99% short-biased. Because small caps: – Are often pumped and dumped – Follow irrational psychology – Offer better short setups More edge and higher win rate.
He never sizes more than 10% of daily volume. Even after making $6M+ in a day… He still respects liquidity limits. When you move the market, you kill your own edge.
Every month, Dux reviews his biggest wins and losses. If the trade broke his rules, even if it made money… He removes it from his stats. “Money made from luck is money I’ll lose in the future.”
After a big win, he withdraws the profits immediately. Then he tells himself it was a loss. That mental trick keeps greed in check and ego on the leash.
In 2021, he made $20M in one month. Then he got cocky.. Lost $800K on a “stupid” trade and then another $400K. So he built a model of a “perfect trader” to stay humble.
He tracks every variable in a trade: – Market cap – Float – Volume – Price behavior – Win/loss % to the decimal Most traders wing it. Dux engineers it.
He doesn’t trade every day. Some months, he takes just 2–3 trades. No FOMO or overtrading. Just waiting for setups that fit his edge perfectly.
His trading “season” is October to February. That’s when volatility is highest, and so are his profits. The rest of the year is mostly a waiting game. Patience and data is the key here.
Steven didn’t get rich by trading more. He got rich by trading less, with precision. While others chase hype and blow up, he waits, tracks and executes. His story proves: You don’t need a team or 100s of strategies. You need one that works, and the discipline to repeat it.
