My Trade Alerts Are On Fire! Thumbnail

On Monday this week, September 15, the market learned about Elon Musk’s newest investment.

The famous CEO reported a $1 billion share purchase of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA).

That’s a massive catalyst. And as a result the stock broke to new local highs.

There could be more momentum from TSLA this week as the story continues to circulate. Make sure to pay attention …

But the best entry was last week, on Wednesday when I alerted this setup early.

In my free trade alerts, I outlined an upcoming breakout on both TSLA and TSLL.

Look at the charts of these stocks below, every candle represents one trading day:

Whether you bought shares, traded options, or took notes …

This was a perfect opportunity for traders!

No, I didn’t know that Musk was going to buy $1 billion worth of TSLA shares when I alerted it last week.

Instead, the company was in the news for awarding Musk a $1 trillion pay package. And the stock was following my breakout pattern for a surge higher.

The $1 billion share purchase was just the cherry on top.

Don’t feel bad if you missed the early entry … This was not a unique opportunity.

I’m alerting at least one trade setup every day.

And keep reading to see how my students and I capitalize on these plays.

TSLA and TSLL

TSLL is a fund that aims to map 150% of the daily performance of TSLA stock.

Essentially, the share price is lower, and the percent change is larger.

  • TSLA is trading above $400 per share and the move since last Wednesday only measures 22%.
  • TSLL is trading below $30 per share and the move since Wednesday measures 47%.

By trading TSLL, we can load up on more shares and ride the same catalyst for a larger percent gain.

For example, my most successful student, Jack Kellogg, rode the TSLL spike for a 25% profit.

I posted his trade notes below:

Jack pulled an $80k profit from this stock partially because he used a large position size.

But he didn’t always have a big account. In 2017 Jack started with just $7,500.

Here’s his first trade after studying my process:

And in 2025 he’s banking on runners like TSLL, UNH, OPEN …

The list goes on and on.

Look at my post below:

The key is to focus on the percent gain.

Jack pulled a 25% profit from TSLL. And on his first trade with my process, he pulled a 15% profit.

These are massive percent gains compared to Wall Street’s goals.

Forget 20% on the year … We look for 20% on the day. And you’re just in time to catch Jack’s next big trade setup …

There’s a huge catalyst that’s about to hit the market.

This is much bigger than Musk’s $1 billion investment.

Don’t miss what could be the biggest trade opportunity of 2025!

There are new trade setups every week in this 2025 market.

Start paying attention!

Cheers

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 .
