There’s a lot of volatility in the market right now.

For example, on Monday of this week already …

  • A cheap biotech stock spiked 150%* after announcing up to $50 million in financing.
  • Another cheap biotech stock spiked 110%* with news of a $3 million private placement.
  • A tiny tech stock spiked 60% higher with earnings that beat expectations.

These stocks are still on my watchlist.

They aren’t slow moves — the spikes are huge and they happen intraday.

Plus, we see them more often than people realize.

In this 2025 market, there’s at least one +100% spiker every day. But the key is recognizing them before the momentum explodes.

As traders, it’s crucial that we zero in on the day’s hottest stocks before the crowd piles in.

Every morning, thousands of stocks move up and down, but only a handful have the perfect combination of news, volume, and momentum to explode higher.

Give yourself a shot at capturing the meat of the move and learn to recognize these stocks early.

Most traders miss the move. They scroll headlines aimlessly, they chase late, or they freeze up when it’s time to act.

Meanwhile, the prepared traders are already in the stock, riding the wave while everyone else is wondering what just happened.

The market is on fire right now — and the biggest opportunities come from the hottest stocks each day.

The Hottest Stocks From Monday

© 2025 Millionaire Media, LLC

I’ll continue to send the hottest stocks from my watchlist every Sunday.

And I’m always posting about the hottest stocks on X.

Look at my post below:

But it’s more effective for traders to recognize these stocks on their own and in real time.

It’s much quicker, and it opens the door to larger trading opportunities.

For example, from Monday, August 11 …

Equilibrium Inc. (NASDAQ: EQ) spiked 150%* after the company announced up to $50 million in financing.

The stock showed up on my scan within minutes of the news.

Any trader who learns to build the same scan will have access to these stock spikes.

Look at the EQ chart below from Monday, every candle represents one trading minute:

The price action consolidated intraday …

For homework: Build a trade plan for each of the stocks that I share in today’s blog. Find support and resistance, potential buy and sell levels, and then see how your trade would have played out in the afternoon price action.

Entero Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTO) spiked 110%* on Monday after it announced a $3 million private placement.

The price also consolidated intraday.

On the ENTO chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

And Telos Corporation (NASDAQ: TLS) pushed 60% higher on Monday after the company announced earnings that beat expectations.

  • Non-GAAP EPS of -$0.03, which beat expectations by $0.03.
  • Revenue of $35.9 million, which beat by $2.3 million.

On the TLS chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

Find The Next Hot Stock Spike

All three of these stocks offered solid opportunities to profit.

And they all appeared on my “Top % Gainers” scan within minutes of the news.

I created the scan after years of studying the market and looking for the strongest plays.

And it’s automatically embedded in the StocksToTrade software.

These are the factors that it looks for every day:

  • Share price: $0.01 – $5
  • Volume: at least 1 million shares traded
  • Percent change on the day: at least a 20% gain

You can make this scan in any trading software.

But StocksToTrade is special because:

  • It shows stock market data in real time.
      • Most free software will show data delayed by 10-15 minutes.
  • It shows the stock’s float.
      • A low float will help prices spike higher when demand increases.
  • It shows the news announced on the chart.
    • StocksToTrade’s Breaking News feature will even alert the news!

Use the StocksToTrade software to find the hottest stocks every day.

Plus … You can use it to complete your homework for today!

Add these stocks to your watchlist and get ready for the next big 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 .
