Already this week we’ve seen multiple +100% stock spikes.

  • Aurora Mobile Limited (NASDAQ: JG) ran 240%*.
  • TransCode Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: RNAZ) ran 110%*.
  • Silexion Therapeutics Corp (NASDAQ: SLXN) ran 160%*.

And we can trade these spikes for profits.

Take a look at an example from this week:

DeepSeek hit the market HARD.

The new Chinese open source AI is the talk of the town. And its seemingly low training cost is baffling investors and experts alike.

Everyone’s wondering if the U.S. AI market is overinflated …

And while investors worry about their million-dollar accounts, my account sits in cash until I find a stock that’s spiking higher. Maybe a stock with bullish DeepSeek news like JG.

There will be more stocks that spike this week.

Make sure that you’re prepared to catch these intense runners!

What Makes A +100% Stock Spike?

© Millionaire Media, LLC

There are a few main factors that help a stock spike +100%.

The share price needs to be low.

A $1 stock that spikes by $1 moves 100%. A $120 stock that spikes by $1 moves 0.008%.

We focus on cheap stocks because the price can spike higher as a percent.

That percent gain directly impacts our account gain.

The float should be low.

The float shows how many shares of a stock are available for purchase and sale by the regular market.

A low supply of shares will help prices spike higher when demand increases. It’s a law of supply and demand. In our case, anything below 10 million shares is considered a low float.

There needs to be a reason for the spike.

We only buy shares of stocks that have a reason to push higher. It sounds obvious, but a lot of new traders forget about this step when they see a random stock that spikes.

New traders should focus on the most obvious setups in the market.

Here’s An Example:

Yesterday we watched SLXN spike 160%* after announcing strong tumor growth reduction from the systemic administration of its SIL-204 in preclinical pancreatic cancer models.

StocksToTrade shows that the float was only 219k shares.

The price was trading around $0.59.

How many shares could you buy at that price??

When the news came out it spiked to $1.55!

We got an alert right when the news was announced. Look at the chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

I missed this absolute gimme of a trade because of my travel schedule …

I was trading IMAC Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BACK) earlier during premarket but I got my time zones mixed up. Then I lost WiFi by the time SLXN was spiking.

Take a look at my BACK trade notes below, from the same day:

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 .
