Attack The Market Every Day This Week! Thumbnail

Happy Monday!

Heads up! The market doesn’t care how you feel today. It rewards preparation, discipline, and execution.

I know, it’s easy to let Mondays slip by because it’s the first day back from the weekend.

But there are really good trading opportunities today!

Last Monday, KLTO spiked 800%* intraday!

Let’s get your mind right and your strategy sharp.

Whether you’re trading with a $1,000 account, a $10,000 account, or you’re paper trading to learn this process …

The approach is the same.

Focus on the highest-probability setups, find entries that manage risk, and be ready to strike when the opportunity hits.

Here’s how my students and I plan to attack this week like trading professionals.

Scan For News Catalysts First Thing

© Millionaire Media, LLC

Start every morning with a scan for:

  • Earnings winners
  • Contract announcements
  • FDA approvals
  • Sympathy movers

The market LOVES fresh news.

Use simple tools like StocksToTrade to filter for low float stocks with big premarket volume and news catalysts.

Look for that perfect storm: Low float + high volume + recent news = volatility paradise.

Trading Tip: Watch for former runners that get a new catalyst. History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.

The First 30 Minutes: Know Your Play

The open is a battleground. Have a plan BEFORE the bell. Choose which patterns you’re looking for.

  • Morning panic dip buys — Only on multi-day runners.
  • First green day breakouts — Especially on day 1 of news catalysts.
  • Back-end dip buys — After a bike intraday spike

Don’t chase. Don’t guess. Let the trades come to you.

This Week’s Hot Sectors To Watch

© Millionaire Media, LLC

June tends to be a quiet month … But not in this 2025 market.

There are stories across the market that are causing stocks to trade with intense volatility. Volatility that we can use to make gains.

Here are the sectors that I have an eye on:

  • AI/Tech: These stocks are still pulling momentum from major headlines. There are sympathy plays galore.
  • Biotech: Sketchy biotechs are always lurking with surprise FDA pops or critical data from clinical tests
  • Crypto: Bitcoin is still trading near all-time highs. Check low float blockchain stocks.
  • Tariff News: This is a more abstract sector … Anything could come into focus under Trump’s tariffs. Keep an eye on the newest events.

Stay adaptable. Sector momentum can shift fast.

Don’t marry tickers. Instead, marry price action.

Trade Review Ritual: Every. Single. Day.

Jack Kellogg didn’t get to $20 million in trading profits by luck.

He tracked every trade. Every win, every loss.

To follow his lead, it’s essential that you do the same. Here’s your daily post-market routine:

  • Screenshot your charts.
  • Journal your thought process.
  • Identify what you did right AND wrong.

It’s a simpled EOD process. But most people skip it because they’re lazy.

Are you lazy? Are you capable of working toward the life that you want? The life that you deserve?

The more data you gather, the more confidence you build.

With confidence, comes success.

Mindset Monday: Don’t Force The Trade

Not trading is still a position.

If the setup isn’t A+, sit on your hands. You’re not here to be right — You’re here to be profitable.

Most traders blow up because they think they “have” to trade. You don’t.

Be a sniper. Be patient. Be relentless with your rules.

Final Thoughts

This week is another chance to level up. Study past runners. And review your process.

Show up earlier. Work harder. The market doesn’t owe you anything. But it will reward those who put in the work.

If you want daily game plans, watchlists, and real-time trade breakdowns — join the Trading Challenge.

Don’t just trade blind. Learn the rules of the game.

Let’s get to work. Monday is calling.

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 .
