Last week there were literally dozens of SOLID plays.

If you missed it, don’t feel bad.

It’s important just to witness and learn from giant Supernovas

Why?

So you can be better prepared for the next great trade.

So, even if you just watched (or studied them in your spare time)…

You’re already preparing better than most.

When you’re prepared, it opens up opportunities.

But most new traders get 4 things wrong.

Let’s fix that right now…

There Will ALWAYS Be Another Great Play

For example…

WORK Medical Technology Group LTD (NASDAQ: WOK) went from the $1s to the $11s in two days last week…

The question is, will you be FULLY prepared to capitalize on a trade like this when you see it?

Most people don’t prepare ahead of time when they decide to start trading.

That’s like stepping into the ring with an experienced boxer (except WITHOUT training).

Pay attention, because last week was epic.

And with the PDT rule ending next month, this could be just the beginning…

4 Tips to Capitalize On the Next Great Play

You must build your knowledge account BEFORE consistently growing your brokerage account.

If you’re already doing these four things, keep it up. If not, start today…

If you haven’t studied awesome setups from the past, how can you expect to recognize them in real-time?

Dreamland Limited (NASDAQ: TDIC) was another EPIC short squeeze last week.

It went from the $2s to $30s in one day.

SO many big short sellers blew up accounts on TDIC.

If you saw TDIC, did you recognize what was happening in real time? And do you know how to trade it?

It’s SUPER important to study the past.

Scammers and fake gurus knock me for this but it’s one of the best ways to learn.

So is watching supernovas as they happen…

Witness Speed and Volatility In Real Time

TDIC was a fast mover when shorts got squeezed.

Here’s another example:

J-Star Holding Co., Ltd (NASDAQ: YMAT) squeezed from roughly $1 to $2.21 in 40 minutes on May 14.

Without watching this kind of volatility in real time it’s almost impossible to understand how to trade it.

Especially considering how fast it came down in after-hours trading.

In other words, you need to put in screen time.

That’s also how you’ll…

Learn Key Levels to Watch

There are so many ways you could do this….

  • StocksToTrade has Oracle support & resistance
  • You could use old-school Fibonacci Retracement.
  • There’s Moving Averages and Pivot Points…

Personally, I use VWAP and then eyeball key levels (like where resistance becomes support).

For example, check out the Eason Technology Limited (NYSE: DXF) chart below.

Can you see why $1.20ish was a key level where resistance became support?

Finally, there’s one thing I keep hearing over and over from students…

“Tim, I can’t trade that stock. My broker won’t let me.” 

So, I’ll make this simple…

Use the Right Broker So You Can Trade Supernovas

You might need to call your broker (you might even have to switch).

But I can assure you one thing…

If your broker doesn’t let you trade the fastest moving, most volatile stocks in the market…

It’s going to take you a LOT longer to grow your account.

So, choose wisely and be willing to switch (I’ve switched brokers MANY times).

Don’t let a broker decide whether you will achieve your dreams.

Millionaire Moves

SO many top students crushed it last week, including Inner Circle Lead Trainer Strati:

The crazy thing is that you don’t have to be perfect to trade these stocks.

For example, Strati made $24k* and Juan made $50k* on Quantum Cyber N.V. (NASDAQ: QUCY) last week.

Check out the chart and then I’ll tell you where they sold…

QUCY got up to the $4.90s on Friday. Both Juan and Strati sold in the $1.80 to $2 range.

Crazy, right?

It’s just another example of how much opportunity there is trading Supernovas.

And you don’t have to hold and hope.

Are you ready to do this? All my top students went through the Trading Challenge.

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 .
