How I Profit During NVDA’s Earnings Week

We’re already seeing massive volatility this week in the stock market.

Inno Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: INHD) spiked 370%* on Monday due to the overall extreme greed.

And it’s likely due to the excitement that surrounds the NVDA earnings on Wednesday …

Wall Street forecasts a huge value jump:

  • 53% revenue growth.
  • A 48% EPS gain.

And here’s the kicker: NVDA has already beat Wall Street’s quarterly forecasts 10 times in a row.

There will be more volatility this week as a result of Wednesday’s market-shaking NVDA catalyst.

Position your account for success NOW!

I’m already watching a specific setup as this momentum builds. And it won’t be the last spiker …

Watch my video below for all the details:

I traded the 370%* spike from INHD on Monday for a profit

Keep reading to see my trade.

I’ve used the same patterns for over two decades!

A Repeating Pattern

On Monday, August 25, INHD slowly started to push higher toward a key price level.

And when it pushed over the level, there was no turning back. It developed into a massive squeeze.

INHD was a short squeeze. And it’s a result of the insane momentum in the market right now.

The most important part about this volatility right now: The price action follows popular patterns.

We can see on the multi-day INHD chart below, the stock fell drastically on May 12 after an even larger spike higher.

Every candle represents one trading day:

This is a major sign that short sellers ended the day in control. And it’s probably a popular stock for short sellers as a result.

Now … When I zoom in and exclude the massive day in May, we can see a clear resistance level at $1.67 from the highs on June 18.

Look what happened intraday on August 25 when INHD approached the $1.67 level.

Short sellers thought that $1.67 would hold again …

But once it pushed above that level, the squeeze quickly got out of control.

I trade this momentum with a simple dip-buy pattern. Take a look at my trade notes below:

It was a solid 11% gain. But I left a lot of money on the table.

Look at my post below:

You can do better than me!

Your Trading Success

I’ve profited $7.9 million since I started in the market over two decades ago (that number includes my losses).

But I’m still held back …

For example, my student Jack Kellogg has used the exact same patterns as me to profit $20.4 million in the market since 2017 (also including losses).

Jack is able to capitalize on these plays more effectively because he had a mentor and a set of rules to follow for success.

Join the Challenge to follow the same path as Jack and the rest of my millionaire students.

Without a path to follow, traders are doomed to make costly mistakes.

I still suffer from mistakes that I made early in my career. Learn from me and my students!

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 .
