Currently, the market is on a substantial rally from the 2025 lows on April 7.

But the economic effects of these tariffs have only just begun …

And for traders trying to gain an advantage right now, it’s tough to tell where we’re going.

Was the bottom on April 7?
Am I too late to buy low?
Should I wait for a better entry?

Thanks to my trading strategy, we don’t have to worry about these questions.

I use the same patterns to trade the biggest stock spikes in the market, regardless of the larger market’s sentiment.

Look at my trade notes below for a recent example:

I see trade opportunities like this every week.

You’re never too late …

But for crying out loud, stop wasting time!

Every day I’m looking for the biggest percent gainers.

Yesterday, on May 1, it was Zoomcar Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ZCAR) and Classover Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: KIDZ).

The share prices spiked 340%* and 280%* respectively.

ZCAR was a short squeeze that just kept spiking higher.
KIDZ started to spike after the company announced that it entered into an equity purchase agreement with Solana Strategies for $400 million worth of stock.

And StocksToTrade shows that the float of both stocks are below 10 million shares.

These are the two kinds of spikes that we’re seeing right now: Insane short squeezes and spikes from stocks that announce news.

The low float, below 10 million shares, helps the stock spike higher.

I traded both ZCAR and KIDZ with patterns from my framework.

You already saw one of my ZCAR trades above.

I traded KIDZ twice. Here are my notes:

And I’m not the only trader that sees these opportunities …

I teach other traders how to find these plays too.

Look at the examples in my post below. I had to redact some of the profits because X doesn’t verify trades:

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 .
