Last week, I wrapped up my 15th annual conference in Las Vegas where I showed hundreds of traders how my strategy worked, LIVE.

If you want to be successful in this market, you must know how to spot some of the best plays in ANY market!

I’m tired of seeing students struggle with where to start every day they trade…

That’s why today, I’ll be sharing with you four stocks I’m keeping a close eye on…

How I found them…

And what my trading plan is.

Let’s get going!

Stock #1 – LianBio (NASDAQ: LIAN)

Every morning I scan the market for some of the biggest percent gainers with volume…

And that’s what helped me find all of these plays I’m watching this morning!

Believe it or not, if you’re trading with a small account, you have a HUGE advantage when it comes to trading these types of plays.

LIAN continues to blow my mind…

Just take a look at this chart!

In just a few days, LIAN went from $1.50 to $4 a share at the time I’m writing this…

That’s over a 160% move!

These over-aggressive short sellers are continuing to try and guess where the top is, and every time they’re wrong!

LIAN continues to close higher day after day…

Eventually, these short sellers will be right, there’s no denying that…

And typically when you have these multi-day runners, they are eventually going to panic.  

That’s why I’ll be looking for that early morning panic, but I’m also going to be very cautious with this play…

We’ve seen it where these short sellers get it right and there is no bounce at all.

So be meticulous and look for key areas where LIAN may bounce.

Remember to take the meat of the move, I typically look for a 5-10% profit…

And not to be greedy because I do expect this stock to fall back to the $1.50s.

Stock #2 – ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX)

IBRX had a remarkable surge in trading volume over the last couple of days.

The last time this happened, IBRX soared from around $3 per share to $7 in just a matter of days, catching those overly aggressive short sellers off guard…

That’s roughly a 133% move!

Let’s take a look at the chart…

Knowing how IBRX performed last time there was a surge in volume, I’ll be keeping that in the back of my mind to see if it can catch these overly aggressive short sellers off guard again.

If IBRX can break through that key $3 resistance area, it may be off to the races…

And I’ll need a convincing breakout if I was going to trade it…

More Breaking News

But I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the $2 area to see if the stock can hold and bounce off its lows if we were to have a solid morning panic.

Stock #3 – SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: ICU)

I’ve been closely following ICU for the past couple of weeks now, and when you take a look at the chart, you can see why.

Most newbies tend to forget about a stock after they trade them…

But as for me, I don’t like to.  Looking at the chart above you can see that week-over-week ICU continues to trend higher…

And what I’m currently observing bears a striking resemblance to a pattern we witnessed a few weeks ago.

On October 18th, ICU surged higher but was batted down around the $0.88 mark.

Then on October 19th, ICU managed to break through that resistance level, effectively turning what used to be a resistance level into support.

Right now, ICU faces another battle, resistance around the $1.30 mark.

You can see that in the chart below…

I’m not inclined to chase ICU higher as it appears that shorts may be in control with this one…

But I’ll be keeping a close eye to see if there is a solid morning panic and for ICU to bounce off what was a previous resistance area, now acting as support.

Stock #4 – Tempest Therapeutics, Inc. (TPST)

You may remember this stock from a StocksToTrade Breaking News Alert the other week…

Source: StocksToTrade Breaking News 

And since it soared over 3,000% It’s still up, and it still hasn’t dropped back to its lows…

Currently, it’s still trading above the $4 mark at the time I’m writing this, just take a look…

Source: StocksToTrade

I’ll be closely keeping an eye on this for a potential dip-buying opportunity…

As volume continues to drop, I’m not feeling confident enough that it will have enough volume and momentum to break through that $6 range.

Keep an eye on TPST to potentially panic below the $4 mark, but remember to be careful and cut losses quickly if there isn’t a bounce…

But if it’s to trap in shorts again, look for it to potentially squeeze even higher and do it with a small position size.

Final Thoughts

If you are struggling with where to start in the morning or aren’t comfortable with the plays you’re finding…

I recommend you join our FREE trading session every week!

This will allow you to better understand how this market works, what plays we are watching, and what our game plan is.

Don’t try to guess when to buy or sell…

And make sure you know how to take advantage of these opportunities the right way!

I’ll see you in chat.

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 .
