How My Newest Students Find Solo Trade Setups

A few years ago, for a new trader, it would have taken months to learn my trade process.

Guys like Jack Kellogg (now with $20.9 million in trading profits) had to spend countless hours pouring over chart patterns and watching video lessons.

All while the market’s biggest runners continued to soar past them.

We see these big stock spikes every week. For example, from this week, we’ve already seen:

  • A tiny biotech stock spike 260%* after it announced an FDA fast-track designation.
  • Another tiny stock, this one in the EV sector, that spiked 200%*
  • And a multi-day runner from last week that absolutely exploded into Monday, extending the run to 450%*.

It’s easy to feel frustrated as a new trader when these plays fly higher without you.

But understand, every successful trader has felt that way before.

And thanks to AI … It no longer takes months to understand these setups.

New students can follow my trade process from day one.

My AI-trading bot tracks the hottest stocks in the market with my patterns. And it alerted three trades already this week:

  • A 22% gain opportunity.
  • A 13% gain opportunity.
  • And an 8% gain opportunity.

Each of these alerts came with a specific trade plan that my students could follow with little-to-no stress.

Watch my video below to get the next AI trade alert:

AI Trades From This Week

My AI trading bot follows my exact framework on the hottest stocks.

For months I prompted it with pattern after pattern, stock after stock, until it finally caught on!

Look at the trades that it alerted this week …

AbCellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ: ABCL)

My trading bot alerted this setup on Friday afternoon, July 18.

The stock had already spiked 20% that day, and past the 52-week highs.

Then, on Monday morning, the stock reached the buy signal at $4.75 per share and spiked all the way to $5.82.

That’s a 22% gain opportunity.

Look at the setup on the chart below. Every candle represents five trading minutes:

LM Funding America Inc. (NASDAQ: LMFA)

This stock also started to spike on Friday, July 18. It surged alongside the broader crypto momentum that’s in the market right now.

And on Monday afternoon, my AI trading bot alerted an imminent breakout, with a buy level at $4.45.

A trader could have sold into the spike that evening for quick profits or split their position and held until Tuesday for a possible continuation.

Look at the alert overlaid on the LMFA chart below. Every candle represents five trading minutes:

Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ: AEHR)

This stock started to spike on Tuesday, July 22, after announcing new orders for its AI system products.

The price consolidated into the close as we got a trade alert from my AI bot …

It advised an entry at $21.05 per share. The next morning, AEHR reached that level and surged to $23.

Look at the setup on the chart below. Every candle represents five trading minutes:

There will be more opportunities to make gains this week!

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 .
