Today’s market was no treat for traders…

If you thought last Friday was the bottom, you got tricked.

In order to make money in this market, you need to stop trying to figure out the big picture…

And you need to focus on what is going on in front of you.

This is how I’ve been able to profit over $125,000 year-to-date…

Most of the traders on Wall Street are trying to figure out what the Feds plan is this week…

But that isn’t my plan…

My plan is to focus on 3 stocks, which I want all of you to make sure you have a close eye on…

So start focusing on the opportunities that are currently in front of you instead of what WallStreet is doing…

And be prepared for how you can capitalize on these 3 hottest stocks.

January Effect

Many traders may be questioning, what is the January Effect?

As we head into the end of the year, we could see a lot of these beaten-down stocks have the possibility of spiking…

Traders start selling their assets on losing trades to claim on their taxes as the year ends…

And when they start doing this, it could result in a short squeeze.

But have we started to see this already?

When a stock is short-squeezed we can see it become a supernova.

Let’s take a look at a stock I am closely watching heading into this week…

Quanergy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QNGY)

Did most of you catch these stocks on their recent run-up?

If you missed it, this doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road for additional trading opportunities.

Would you be prepared to spot the next possible trade?

For any stock that spikes, there are still other types of analysis a trader needs to be aware of…

Just because a stock is spiking doesn’t mean that run will continue forever…

So it’s important to know how to spot these key areas.

Break Outs

To me, breakouts are one of the best types of strategies and setups a trader can ask for.

Why?  It shows a stock has a lot of interest from traders when it breaks through a key resistance area.

So how do you find these types of stocks?

Well, usually volume and volatility play a huge role in being able to identify these opportunities…

This is why I encourage all of you to continuously look for big percent gainers.

On Friday, I spotted a stock that recently broke out and I held it for a weekend play. 

Global Developments, Inc. (OTC: GDVM)

With a possible weekend play, you want to look for a stock that is quickly spiking into a close…

But with this being a First Green Day, I was looking for a gap-up on Monday morning.

After the market open, I saw a slight bounce but the volume wasn’t as high, so I decided to take a quick $475 profit (Risked $7,516.80 in capital to profit $475) in this choppy market.

Final Thoughts

There continues to be a lot of market volatility out there so I am focusing on taking small gains, staying disciplined, and scanning the market for any great opportunities that I can find.

Many of my students have been nailing some of the big winners that I shared with you earlier today…

But with the market bouncing, I am hoping this can give us more potential spikers coming up in November.

This doesn’t mean to start being aggressive with all of your trades, but to remain disciplined and only trade stocks that fit my trading strategies.

Trading is all about being prepared to pounce on the next big opportunity and there are plenty out there.

Keep studying hard and are you ready to spot the next possible trade with any of these 3 stocks I shared with you today?

Cheers,

Tim

P.S – Are you struggling to find big percent gainers? Here’s how I overcame that barrier with one simple tool.

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
