My Newest Millionaire Student! Thumbnail

In case you’re frustrated or have doubts about this trade process …

Another one of my students just crossed the $1 million milestone.

This trade process works!

The hottest stocks in the market like to follow predictable patterns that repeat over and over again.

The question is: Do you have the discipline to recognize these patterns and turn them into trading profits?

Don’t worry, this isn’t rocket science.

My millionaire students and I aren’t geniuses. I still only win 75% of the time.

The key is to focus on high-reward setups while we mitigate the risk of these stocks falling lower.

For example, last week we saw some insane setups from multiple +100% stock spikes:

  • HWH spiked 430%*.
  • UUU spiked 130%*.
  • INHD spiked 140%*.

And there will be more opportunities this week …

Follow My Student’s Lead

Everyone go congratulate Strati on crossing $1 million in profits.

I included his post below:

In light of Starti’s achievement, I had to highlight a specific segment from his testimonial:

“So many good days and bad days and I wouldn’t change any of it.”

Nobody said this would be easy.

Understand that anything worth having comes at a cost. Learning a self-sufficient trade process is no different.

For example, my most successful student, Jack Kellogg, helped celebrate Strati’s milestone with me. See the post below:

If anyone knows the trials and tribulations of profitable trading, it’s Jack Kellogg.

After starting in 2017 with just $7,500, and now with over $20 million in trading profits (including losses), Jack has experienced multiple highs and lows in the pursuit of profits.

For an illustrative but relatable example, watch the video below that Jack reposted a few months ago:

Many people don’t AND WON’T see the work that goes into profitable trading.

That’s why the $1 million milestone is so important.

It’s the equivalent of a black belt for traders. It signifies the immense amount of work that someone had to put in to achieve a self-sufficient trading process.

And it signifies their mental discipline going forward.

Of course … Strati deserves a good night’s rest after finally achieving this massive milestone.

He slept in last week on Friday and missed a few +100% runners in the morning.

But as a newly seasoned vet, he knows there are always more trade setups around the corner.

Look at my post below:

By comparison, you’re not a seasoned vet … Yet.

You don’t have time to sleep in this week.

Keep your foot on the pedal!

And follow the same process that all my millionaire students use to make gains.

There are more millionaire students on the way.

Will you be one of them?

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 .
