Do you think that you have to be in front of your computer nonstop to succeed as a trader?
What if I told you that my biggest winners over 20+ years of trading have happened over the weekend?
Every once in a while, someone comes along and says
“But Tim, that pattern doesn’t work anymore, does it?”
Let’s put that BS to rest…
Yes. It DOES still work.
Of course, you can’t just buy ANY stock on a Friday and sell on a Monday.
Let’s take a look at my last weekend trade because it fit the framework perfectly (and was a HUGE winner).
And the best part?
The messages from students who succeeded with this trade just kept rolling in throughout Monday morning.

The Setup: The Weekend Trade
On Friday (June 12) I alerted my Weekend Trader subscribers that I’d bought 3,000 shares of FreeCast Inc. (NASDAQ: CAST) at $1.52 per share.
I sent the alert at 3:50 p.m. ET. My intention was to sell it either after-hours on Friday, or hold it over the weekend:
To those who think you have to be in front of computer nonstop, realize that my biggest winners over 20+ years have happened over the weekend like this $CAST trade where you just buy the right play on a Friday and sell on Monday so not much screen time whatsoever I'm SO glad to… https://t.co/KTlKQgohCT

Here’s what I look for in a weekend trade…
A Solid Catalyst
FreeCast announced an expanded relationship with DIRECTV on Thursday (June 11).
This part of the press release caught my attention:
“Management believes the integration of DIRECTV into the FreeCast ecosystem represents one of the Company’s most immediate recurring-revenue opportunities, enabling FreeCast and its partners to offer a recognized premium television service through existing sales and distribution channels while expanding subscription-based monetization across multiple vertical markets.”
A catalyst is important for any trade, but for weekend trades it makes a huge difference.
Why?
Because so many less meticulous traders play catch-up over the weekend, trying to figure out why a stock spiked.
The next thing I look for in a weekend trade is…
The Right Price Action
I look for a stock that spiked big (due to the catalyst) and is closing strong (preferably at, or near, the high of day).
CAST was up 153% when I bought it. That might seem like chasing, but check out the chart…
As you can see, even though CAST was up a lot, it was largely holding its gains.
There was also strong support in the $1.20s, which held in after-hours trading.
The next thing I look for is…
A Gap Up On Monday
In the past I would hold until the market opened on Monday.
That was partly because my weekend trade setup worked so well for OTCs (which didn’t trade in extended hours until 2024).
But it was also because I didn’t really like trading premarket.
That is, until everything changed. Now premarket is one of the best times to trade (there are SO many premarket spikers).
What happens if it doesn’t gap up? I follow rule #1 and cut losses quickly. It’s as simple as that.
That said…
CAST was about as perfect as a weekend trade gets.
Even though I sold too soon, I still made a 121% or $5,520 profit with a starting stake of $4,560.*
And it wasn’t just me. Several students crushed it…

And there were SO many more. Here are just a few of the dozens of comments from students in chat yesterday:
7:18AM TechST:Sold $CAST from weekend play where I entered @ $1.38 and sold @ $5.19. ThinkOrSwim didn’t let me sell in the $5.40 since they don’t allow 4AM and glad it held for 7AM opening still nice profit. Sadly I played too safe with other 200 shares in TradeZero and could have been up 2K but no regrets protecting my gain since things to close on a hight*
8:40AM mraber:Trading with a 200$ account, took 100 shares of $CAST Friday going into close, waould have loved to sell premark early but tos don’t let that happen till 7 and had work at 550 sold my position at 4.50 for a 59% gain*

Key Takeaway
Any time someone asks if an old pattern is still relevant in today’s market, all I can do is shake my head.
I’ve been trading for over 20 years and its the same damn patterns, year in and year out.
Does the market change?
Of course…
Different sectors get hot.
The market shifts from bull to bear and back again.
And rules change (like the recently dropped PDT rule).
But through everything, the patterns are there.
And that’s because they are based on supply and demand coupled with fear and greed.
So, can you still succeed with weekend trades?
YES!
Now go study up and I’ll see you at the bootcamp on June 26th and 27th.
Cheers,
