The Biggest Trade You Could Make Right Now Thumbnail

Every day there are thousands of stocks that spike in the market.

Unfortunately, a lot of new traders watch the wrong stocks …

And it’s hard to make money when you’re trading the wrong stock.

It’s not your fault.

Nobody ever taught you which stocks to pay attention to. Much less, how to trade them.

In truth, there are only a few stocks every month that new traders should pay attention to.

My millionaire students and I look for trades every day. But that’s because we don’t have other jobs or pressing responsibilities. Trading is our top priority.

By comparison, for traders who still work a day job, the best use of their time is spent searching for the next supernova.

Supernova stock spikes are characterized by an explosive spike upward.

For example, look at the chart of CTRL Group Limited (NASDAQ: MCTR) below. Every candle represents one trading minute:

MCTR chart intraday, 1-minute candles Source: StocksToTrade

The stock spiked from below $5 per share during premarket hours, to over $45 per share during after hours.

That’s an insane move!

And the price spiked even higher the next day. The total move now measures 1,000%* thus far …

My students and I trade these insane stock spikes with the patterns I outline in my video below:

Plus, on these huge spikes, you’ve got tons of time to build a position.

I first posted about MCTR when it was trading around $13 per share. Look at my post below for the details.

I had to redact certain values because X doesn’t verify trades:

Those who missed the move on MCTR … Don’t be discouraged.

Get ready for the next supernova stock spike!

The Next Supernova

I already mentioned that we see a few Supernovas every month.

Here’s a comprehensive list of recent Supernova’s in 2025:

  • MicroAlgo Inc. (NASDAQ: MLGO) spiked 1,100%* to end March.
  • JNVR spiked 1,800%* in April.
    • This company has since lost its ticker.
  • American Rebel Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) spiked 1,300%* in April.
  • Upexi Inc. (NASDAQ: UPXI) spiked 860%* on April 21.
  • Splash Beverage Group Inc. (AMEX: SBEV) spiked 1,200%* in April.
  • Cantor Equity Partners Inc. (NASDAQ: CEP) spiked 460%* between April and May.
  • Classover Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: KIDZ) spiked 820%* in early May.

And most recently …

  • CTRL Group Limited (NASDAQ: MCTR) spiked 1,000%* this week.
  • Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) spiked 380%* on Wednesday, June 4 of this week.

Look at my post below about MULN:

I made a video that reviews a few of these runners.

Watch it below. And take notes!

The strongest supernovas will fit the same factors that create spikes that my millionaire students and I look for every day …

  • An initial share price below $5.
  • A trading volume of 1 million shares on the day.
  • A spike of at least 20% on the day.
    • For supernovas we want the stock to spike at least 100%.
  • A catalyst to push prices higher (a short squeeze counts as a viable catalyst)
  • A float below 10 million shares.

MCTR and MULN, from this week, showed us all of these exact factors.

Look for this formula every day in the market!

And to ensure you’re prepared for the next runner …

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 .
