We Can Trade These Market Swings For Cheap!

The market bounced big this week!

One of my most successful students, Jack Kellogg, traded the price action using a classic panic dip buy pattern.

Look at the text that I got from Jack on April 7 below …

This is the price action that he was talking about: On April 7, the market bounced 10%!

You can see the rally on the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

Jack traded this move … 

But he found a 33% trade opportunity, instead of the 10% rally from the QQQ pictured above.

Plus, he was buying shares around $30, instead of the QQQ share price of more than $400!

We can trade this price action for cheap using basic patterns … 

Cheap Assets

We’re always looking to trade cheap assets.

Here’s why:

When the QQQ rallies $41 in a day, it’s only a 10% move because the share price is expensive.

If a cheaper asset were to spike $41 in a day … The percent change would be much larger. And that percent change directly translates to our trade positions.

Let’s use Jack’s 33% trade opportunity from April 7 as an example: 

  • A 10% market gain on a $1,000 position size is only $100.
  • A 33% gain on a $1,000 position size is $330.

See what I mean?

And right now in the market, we’re seeing HUGE percent gains due to the overall volatility.

Wall Street is scared because expensive stocks are falling amid tariffs. But my students and I are excited because cheap stocks are soaring!

Already this week:

  • Bluejay Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ: BJDX) spiked 220%*.
  • Janover Inc. (NASDAQ: JNVR) spiked 1,000%*
  • MKDWELL Tech Inc. (NASDAQ: MKDW) spiked 600%*.
  • NanoVibronix Inc. (NASDAQ: NAOV) spiked 450%*.

Now … Jack Kellogg isn’t able to trade some of these massive spikes because his position sizes are too large.

Some of Jack’s first trades in 2018 were with position sizes around $1,000. But in April 2025, he has $17.6 million in trading profits (including losses).

On April 7, he traded Proshares Trust (NASDAQ: TQQQ) with an $8 million position size!

There’s an advantage to trading with a small account. We get to play +100% spikers without worrying about our position size!

Trading the TQQQ is one of Jack’s strategies to profit off of market moves at a cheaper share price. The asset aims to trade alongside the Nasdaq-100 Index.

On April 7, while the QQQ rallied 10%, the TQQQ rallied 33%. And it followed the same pattern.

Plus:

  • The QQQ opened the day at $408 per share.
  • The TQQQ opened at just $36 per share.

Cheaper assets are better for small-account traders.

Especially when they spike +100% intraday … 

The Next +100% Stock Spike This Week

The best setups for small account traders are cheap stocks that can spike +100% intraday.

  • We can load up on shares with a small account.
  • And we can ride the percent gain for larger gains.

But first we have to find these stocks … 

Right now, the best performing intraday runners are low-float stocks, below $5 per share, that spike at least 20% intraday. A 20% spiker can spike A LOT higher.

Remember: Anything below 10 million shares is considered a low float.

Let’s look at an example … 

I traded the 450%* spike on NAOV from Tuesday, April 8. The stock had 317k shares in the float, it started the day below $5, and it spiked 220%* during premarket.

It was a perfect match for all three factors that I look for.

All a trader had to do was prompt my AI trading bot with the ticker!

The AI follows my exact process for gains on the market’s hottest stocks.

Don’t miss the next +100% stock spike this week!

Cheers.

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 .
