The #1 Trade To Make Today 11/29 Thumbnail

It’s Tim Sykes here.

There’s no time to waste!

I’m looking for one specific trade setup today.

Every Friday, the incoming weekend inspires a specific kind of price action in the market.

See … A lot of people are gone on Fridays. Or at least, they’re checked out, not watching the market. Especially on Holiday weekends.

That creates a valuable information inefficiency!

A stock spiking with news on Friday could spike much higher on Monday because there are people buying shares over the weekend. They’re late to the move, and we can sell our shares into their orders on Monday morning.

I used this exact pattern to profit 19% off of Palladyne AI Corp. (NASDAQ: PDYN) last Friday.

Take a look at my trade notes below:

I look for these opportunities every weekend!

There are only 5 more weekends in 2024 … Let’s make them count.

My Weekend Pattern

These stock movements are not random.

The most volatile stocks in the market can follow my trade patterns to a T, because people are predictable during times of high stress.

Like when there’s an opportunity to profit off of a +100% spiker.

Every Friday, there are traders who aren’t paying attention to the market. Instead, they’re content to search for hot stocks during the weekend.

More Breaking News

Their laziness is our opportunity …

Today, before the market closes, we’re looking for price action that looks like this. Watch my video below:

Every spike looks a little different. But the underlying pattern is the same. 

The more times that you see this pattern, the quicker you’ll be able to apply it to your own account.

So … Let’s take a look at my position from last Friday on PDYN.

On the chart below, every candle represents one trading minute:

Remember, my goal is to hold these positions over the weekend.

PDYN pushed higher before the market closed so I sold my shares for a profit.

Keep that in mind when you’re looking for this price action today. Today’s spike won’t look exactly the same.

  • Maybe it will be best to hold shares over the weekend …
  • Maybe it’s best to sell on Friday before the market closes …
  • Maybe we don’t see this pattern in the market.

We take it one trade at a time. And we follow the pattern!

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 .
