The next day, Hudson would make $400, then lose it.
Hudson recalls that at that time, he was very unprepared and unequipped for trading. He wasn’t able to use stock scanners because they weren’t compatible with his Mac so he resorted to using StockTwits instead. Two or three times a week, he would send a screenshot to his father of a stock that was up 200% to 300% and as a result, convinced his dad to give him another $500 which brought the total value of his account up to $1,000.Īt the time, Hudson was using the only strategy he knew - Gap and Go. Instead, Hudson woke up at 6:00 am every morning to watch the stock market. For the next six months, he didn’t touch the money that his dad gave him. After approaching his father, Hudson was able to raise $500 to begin trading. During the summer of 2014, Hudson studied everything he could on the market.
