Your Mornings Are So Important Right Now Thumbnail

People say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day …

My students and I agree. Every morning we feast on huge stock spikes in the market 🤤

It’s essential that you wake up early right now (early on Eastern time).

Almost every day we’re seeing perfect opportunities to trade!

And like I said, I’m not the only trader profiting.

Look at the posts below from X. I had to redact the exact amounts because X doesn’t verify trades:

There’s a specific time frame that traders need to pay attention to right now.

And a specific kind of stock …

We’ll cover everything you need to know in this blog.

I can’t make it any clearer than this. If you miss the next premarket spiker, it’s on you.

Morning Stock Examples

Yesterday, Tuesday, April 22, we watched Tivic Health Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVC) spike 270%*.

And Meiwu Technology Company Limited (NASDAQ: WNW) spiked 130%* alongside it.

Both of these stocks offered opportunities for gains during premarket hours.

And they fit our checklist for a hot stock spike:

  • A low share price.
  • A catalyst.
  • A low float.
  • Trading volume of at least 1 million shares.
  • A spike of at least 20%.

Let’s take a look.

TIVC Trade Opportunity

At 8:30 A.M. Eastern on April 22, TIVC announced that White House briefings and FDA meetings resulted in positive interest for the company’s defense products.

The stock spiked 270%* during premarket hours and gave us a perfect entry around $9 during a momentary consolidation. It followed my dip-buy pattern into a breakout.

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

Here’s the checklist for TIVC:

  • The share price started below $5.
  • It announced news to act as the catalyst.
  • StocksToTrade shows that the float is only 610k shares.
  • It traded 32 million shares yesterday.
  • It spiked 150%* when it hit $9.

More Breaking News

Let’s move on.

WNW Trade Opportunity

On Monday, April 21 during after hours, WNW announced that it regained Nasdaq compliance because it closed above $1 per share.

Sometimes a catalyst just shows that the stock is still alive 😆

The price spiked 80% that evening.

And the next day, April 22, during premarket hours, the price was still spiking.

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

Here’s the checklist for WNW:

  • The stock never spiked above $3 per share on April 22.
  • It regained Nasdaq compliance.
  • StocksToTrade shows that the float is only 300k shares.
  • It traded 110 million shares yesterday.
  • It spiked 80% the evening before.

Trade The Next Morning Stock Spike

Both of the stocks that I mentioned above showed us breakout trade opportunities.

But the charts looked different.

That’s why it’s essential that traders learn the framework these stocks like to follow.

The framework and the patterns are the same. Even though the charts are different.

It can be confusing for new traders to understand this process at first. Especially because of the emotions that are involved with money.

  • The prospect of making a few bucks can cause new traders to see patterns where there aren’t any.
  • And the fear of losing a few bucks can cause traders to obsess over the small imperfections of an otherwise perfect trade.

I have a solution!

My newest students use AI to build smart positions on the hottest stocks in the market.

The AI follows my exact process for success.

Lean on the AI until you become self-sufficient in the market.

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 .
