My #1 Market Strategy This Week

There were a ton of opportunities to make gains last week in the market.

That’s the usual right now. In this insane trade-war/AI stock market, there’s so much volatility.

But one specific trade setup stands tall above the rest.

For example, last week, Bluejay Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ: BJDX) spiked 90% after announcing a bullish mid-year business update.

And the stock followed this trade pattern perfectly.

I pulled a 19% profit: $2,150 from BJDX, with a starting stake of $10,800.

Plus, the stock never spiked above $4 per share!

That’s what makes my process so effective at leveling up accounts. Traders can start with as little money as they like while they grow comfortable with this strategy.

Start small. Focus on the percent gain. And increase your position size as you gain confidence.

The Strongest Trade Strategy Right Now

I’ve spoken about this strategy at length …

Don’t be discouraged if it still hasn’t clicked.

The reason it’s so difficult to make money in the market is because a lot of people will throw the textbook out the window once real money is involved.

When we have money exposed in the stock market, our emotions are heightened. That’s when traders start to make knee-jerk decisions.

I keep writing these blogs to hardwire this process into your brain. As a result, this strategy will supersede your emotional knee-jerk reactions.

Read my trade notes below from the $2k profit on BJDX last week:

I used a simple dip buy strategy.

It’s the same pattern that it’s always been. And it’s a crucial part to the larger 7-Step Framework that these stocks like to follow.

But …

To ensure that you’re trading the strongest dip buy (or whichever pattern from the Framework) of the day, you’ve got to wake up early.

Our trade patterns are strongest in the morning, during premarket hours.

I was up at 4 A.M. Eastern to make the trade on BJDX.

And I’m not the only trader who’s waking up early. Look at the posts below from X.

I had to redact certain values because X doesn’t verify trades:

Even if you’re just paper trading to gain confidence, like my student below:

Don’t miss the next batch of early morning runners.

That’s right, BJDX wasn’t the only premarket spiker last week. It wasn’t the only premarket spiker on Friday …

Look below:

Here are my trade notes from Venus Concept Inc. (NASDAQ: VERO):

My Trading Plan For This Week

Strong coffee is the secret to my success 😆

I’m joking, but it’s partially true.

Do whatever it takes to get out of bed in the morning.

  • Go to sleep early.
  • Set 10 alarms.
  • Don’t go to sleep … Just travel to a better time zone.

Whatever it takes.

There’s life changing money that moves around every day in the market.

It comes down to whether you want it bad enough. Look at the post below for inspiration:

Wake up early this week and look for my patterns on the hottest stocks.

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 .
