How To Mimic Kellogg’s Trading Success Thumbnail

There are new trade opportunities every day in the market right now!

For example, yesterday we watched NewGenIvf Group Limited (NASDAQ: NIVF) extend its spike to 280% after announcing a merger that would allegedly raise its market valuation to $5 per share.

At the time, NIVF was trading below $1.

Take a look at the spike thus far. On the chart below, every candle represent one trading minute:

“Reverse merger” might seem like a confusing term. Essentially, a reverse merger allows one company to take the other public without an IPO.

The resulting merged company is usually more valuable than either of the two companies alone. That’s what makes it a bullish catalyst.

And there are big stock spikes like this every week in our niche.

Now, once we identify a huge runner like NIVF, we still have to trade it.

Profit Process

I’ve been using the same trading framework for the last two decades.

And over 30 of my students have already used this process to profit +$1 million each in the market.*

The hottest stocks can follow patterns because people are predictable during times of high stress.

The entire framework can be broken down into 7 steps.

Now, which pattern we use to trade depends on where the stock is within the framework. It’s not rocket science, but it takes some getting used to.

The easiest way for new traders to learn this process:

Watch it happen live.

That’s why I hold trading live streams.

And it’s why I record them. So that my Challenge students can rewatch every example.

I even shared one on YouTube recently.

In the video below, one of my most successful students, Jack Kellogg, details his trading experience LIVE:

In a fraction of the time, Kellogg has surpassed my $7.6 million market profits to a whopping $12.5 million (these numbers include our losses).

Jack is a shining example of the true possibilities in our small-account niche. Those who wish to mimic his success: Follow his process and study his trades!

This weekend, he and I will sit down to discuss the entire process from front to back. We’re also joined by a few of my other millionaire students.

I’ll see you there!

Study up.

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 .
