How I Predicted These 2 Runners – You Can Too! Thumbnail

There are multiple stocks following my trade patterns right now.

And they’re spiking exactly as I said they would in this blog post.

Every day, my students and I look for the hottest runners in the market that follow our trade patterns.

For example, on Monday, July 14, we watched two stocks rip higher.

  • The first is a multi-day runner that spiked 480%* higher after announcing an $888 million business combination to launch a crypto treasury.
  • The second is another multi-day runner that bounced 45% on Monday after announcing that it now holds $500 million of Ethereum.

We can trade these moves when the stock follows specific patterns.

Don’t take random stabs in the market. That’s dangerous!

Instead, follow popular price action to build smart positions.

I can show you the patterns that we use to make gains.

Look For These Setups

In Monday’s blog, we broke down the factors that make a big stock spike right now …

  • AI News
  • Crypto News
  • A Low Float
  • Pre-Market Hours

My millionaire students and I look for spikers that satisfy these requirements every day.

Watch two of my millionaire students, Matt Monaco and Bryce Tuohey, use these factors to find trade setups on Monday earlier this week.

I posted the recorded livestream below:

During the livestream, Matt and Bryce analyzed the price action of two big crypto spikers from Monday.

  • Both stocks had crypto news.
  • They both had low floats.
  • And they both started to run during premarket hours.

These spikes are not random.

My students and I pay attention to specific factors to find the strongest runners everyday. Then we analyze the price action to look for the best trade setups.

Now, there’s a lot of volatility on these stocks … A 480%* spike is HUGE.

Which means there are multiple ways to play this price action. But there are also risks.

Trading these stocks blindly is like driving down the highway blindfolded.

You might make it to your destination. But probably not. And you definitely won’t make it consistently.

Instead, take the blindfold off. Realize the best setups. And capitalize on these moves with self sufficiency.

I’m holding a LIVE trade conference this week on Wednesday and Thursday where you can discover my exact process for gains. It starts tomorrow!

A few of my millionaire students will join us too (including Jack Kellogg. He has $20 million in trading profits thanks to this process).

These two days of live trading could be the puzzle piece that makes it all click for you!

Watch my teaser video below and reserve your spot for the conference:

2 Hot Crypto Stocks

Both of the crypto stocks that spiked yesterday are multi-day runners that showed us impressive moves this year.

  • Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SONN) has already spiked 2,400%* in July (as of yesterday’s premarket highs).
    • On Monday it spiked 480%* after announcing the $888 million business combination to establish a crypto reserve.
  • BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (AMEX: BMNR) spiked 3,600%* since it started to run on June 30.
    • It bounced 45% yesterday after announcing that it holds $500 million worth of Ethereum.

Crypto stocks are hot right now because of the stablecoin bill that’s about to pass the House of Representatives.

Plus, Bitcoin hit new all-time highs yesterday.

Keep an eye on these stocks, and stay on the lookout for more runners with crypto news.

This sector is hot right now.

We’ll definitely talk about these plays on Wednesday and Thursday during the live trading conference.

I’ll see you then. Get ready for more runners!

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 .
