This Tool Found a +400% Spiker! Thumbnail

Most traders will hear about fast-moving stocks with massive spikes after they’ve happened…

But what good is that?

I like to find out about them as they’re happening…and in the best scenario… right before they ramp up.

Case in point – National Asset Recovery Corp (OTC: REPO) ran +400% yesterday.

A lot of traders were too late … not me.

I was able to sit back, watch the spike, and plan a perfect entry for a +60% profit. While everybody else scrambled to get shares after finding the ticker too late.

I can show you how to access these plays before they get off the ground …

And I’m sure you’ve already heard me say; “these patterns repeat over and over”.

As long as I keep using this tool to find stocks before they spike, I can trade until the cows come home

Here’s how …

How I Profited

Like I typed in my trade review, it’s a shame I only got filled 10,000 shares. Otherwise, this trade would be a +$1,000 profit.

No matter. I was able to recognize the pattern and take a decent profit at a high percentage. Nothing wrong with that.

Here’s my trade …

I record all my trades on Profit.ly

All the props go to the boys at Breaking News.

I said this in yesterday’s letter, maybe 50% of my profitable trades come from this one tool.

They alerted the news of a merger before the price even spiked.

I watched as it ran +170% before cooling off and falling just below $0.10.

That’s when I bought, waited for the price to move higher, and sold.

Here’s an image that helps …

The whole trade took less than five minutes.

I’m telling you. The Breaking News tool completely changes the way you see the market and helps uncover so many profit opportunities.

If I were you, I’d at least give it a try.

“Yeah but Tim, it costs money.”

We talked about this, in order to succeed you’ve got to get engaged and commit. Sometimes you’ve got to spend money to make money.

Also, this isn’t the pre-2000s anymore. Stocks can spike really fast. Computers have increased the market’s speed dramatically.

If I want an edge, the best way to do it is with a tool like the Breaking News scan.

You can start taking yourself seriously as a trader, or you can sit on the sideline.

To your success,

— Tim

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 .
