Trade War Deal: The #1 Trade Setting Up NOW Thumbnail

Last weekend, on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, President Donald Trump met with China’s Xi Jinping in Switzerland to negotiate an end to the trade war.

And on Monday, May 12, the market rallied past the highs from April and May when Trump and Xi came to a temporary trade agreement.

This is great news for two major reasons:

  1. We can trade this short term bullish momentum for gains. For example, the whole market spiked higher on Monday!
  2. This trade deal is temporary, which means there’s a bigger catalyst down the road. We’ll have multiple opportunities to profit from these trade-deal catalysts.

My student, Jack Kellogg, already made a huge profit thanks to the market’s trade-war price action earlier this year.

Here’s his post from X on April 7, when he called the market bottom:

You can see on the S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) chart below where Jack timed the market perfectly.

There’s a specific process that Jack and I use to trade in this market.

The same process that Jack used on April 7 …

And on Thursday this week, May 15, Jack is going LIVE to explain his next big trade. It’s all thanks to this trade-war volatility.

Join Jack at 7 P.M. Eastern, this Thursday, to learn his next trade setup.

Remember, the current trade deal is temporary … Every new trade deal from now on will give us new opportunities for gains.

Learn Jack’s trade process before the next market surge!

Jack’s presentation is on Thursday … And in the meantime, there are stocks surging to insane heights.

Already on Monday this week:

  • Kindly MD, Inc. (NASDAQ: KDLY) spiked 700%*.
  • Gryphon Digital Mining Inc . (NASDAQ: GRYP) spiked 460%*.
  • Inno Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: INHD) spiked 170%*.

We can trade this price action.

The hottest stocks in the market like to follow specific patterns because people are predictable during times of high stress.

More Breaking News

For example, during premarket on the KDLY spike from Monday, we can clearly see that the stock consolidated around $20 before pushing higher.

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

That’s a key area where traders could build a position in anticipation of a price surge.

Here’s another example from the INHD volatility yesterday:

The chart is red because I took a screenshot while the price was halted due to volatility.

Use StocksToTrade to see where the price went after the halt.

Jack and I aren’t the only traders finding these setups …

I have multiple millionaire students. And more on the way!

Look at the post below from X for an example of up-and-coming students. I had to redact certain values because X doesn’t verify trades:

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 .
