We spoke about the best times to trade in this blog.
But I’ve since revised my thesis …
In this 2025 market, I found the #1 time frame to look for stock spikes.
Make sure to wake up and check the market at this time every day!
For example, yesterday, I traded Asset Entities Inc. (NASDAQ: ASST) during this time frame when the stock matched my trading pattern.
Take a look at my notes below:

I wasn’t the only trader to find this setup …
The post below is from a trader in our community:

ASST spiked 210%* yesterday, Tuesday, January 21. There was a ton of opportunity on the table!
My trade only measured 10% of the total move.
We could see ASST continue its volatility today, Wednesday, January 22 …
But I’m most interested in new stock spikes that are moving within this specific time frame:
My Favorite Time To Trade

Millionaire Media, LLCASST started spiking before 5:10 A.M. Eastern during premarket …
And I first bought shares at 6:06 A.M. Eastern …
But the real opportunity started at 7 A.M. Eastern. Take a look at the chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

7 A.M. Eastern is when a lot of brokers open for the day.
It’s the first opportunity for a large cohort of traders to buy or sell shares. As a result, we see a lot of volatility around this time.
Here’s another example from yesterday, Helius Medical Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: HSDT) spiked 110%*. And it started exactly at 7 A.M. Eastern!
On the chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

Want another example??
This is another spike from yesterday … INNOVATE Corp. (NYSE: VATE) first spiked 70% during after hours on Friday.
And on Tuesday morning, the price rallied after brokerage accounts opened at 7 A.M. Eastern.
On the chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

For the strongest spikes every day … Wake up with enough time to watch brokers open at 7 A.M. Eastern.
That’s when a lot of bullish momentum hits the market.
We’re not buying shares at random throughout the day. There’s a science to this.
Mentor note: We CAN trade premarket. In some cases you have to call your broker and maybe sign some waivers. Make sure that you’re prepared to make a trade during early hours!
How To Trade

Millionaire Media, LLCIt’s one thing to recognize this momentum at 7 A.M. Eastern … It’s another thing to trade the momentum for a profit.
This is the framework that my students and I use to trade.
There are multiple trade opportunities within the framework. And the pattern that we use depends on where the stock is in the larger life cycle.
The “life cycle” part is very important …
These stocks don’t spike forever. There’s a beginning and an end to the momentum. That’s the nature of a sketchy penny stock spike.
Our goal is to profit from the momentum before the life cycle ends.
Traders who show up at 7 A.M. Eastern are in a better position to profit because the spike is at the beginning of the framework.
That’s when the stock has the most upside.
Now, understand that we’re never certain the spike will push higher. We’re just trying to put ourselves in the best position to profit. That’s all we can do as traders.
For my newest students, this process can be scary.
- There’s money on the line.
- My students are working with a new process.
- These stocks make BIG moves.
Luckily, you don’t have to build positions on your own!
Over multiple months, I trained an AI bot to follow the hottest stocks in the market that match my framework.
And yesterday morning my students could have prompted the AI with the ASST ticker … It would have spit out a trade plan that matches my process.
Not sure where to find these runners at 7 A.M. Eastern?
Don’t worry, it’s not hard. Open your StocksToTrade software and look at the “Top % Gainers” scan. It’s already built into the platform.
Take a look at the example below from yesterday:
Prompt this AI with the hottest stocks today!
And make sure to set your alarm for tomorrow’s strongest stock spikes.
I know that it’s an early wake-up time. But sacrifices must be made for success!
Trust the process.
Every day there are new traders who realize the potential in this market.
Listen to the wise words of my existing students:
7:13AMGabriel900 → timothysykes:when I joined the student challenge I was skeptical at first but with Tim, Jack, yourself and others kicking my ass I finally feel I’m turning the corner understanding my risk/reward/strategies…you guys rock!
Thank you, Gabriel. YOU rock.
Let’s keep rocking together!
Cheers.
