Winter Election Cycle = Big Stock Spikes Thumbnail

Welcome traders,

I have some very important news … 

We’re barreling toward some of the biggest stock spikes that you’ve ever seen!

Every winter we see volatility.

But this winter is different …

  • We’ve made it through another divisive election, just like the winter months of 2020 and 2021.
  • And we’re in the middle of interest-rate cuts, just like the last election.

Last time we were in this position, the market pushed higher almost every month into 2021.

Take a look at the S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY):

And the stock spikes for small-account traders, like me and my millionaire students … They were unmatched!

For example, Matt Monaco pulled $1,296,970 from the market after the last election. Take a look at the image below:

And they weren’t the only ones …

Here’s a list of student profits during the last election cycle.

Some of the same factors from 2020 and 2021 are influencing today’s market.

And we’ve already seen a MASSIVE jump from the overall market since the election.

Take a look at the SPY’s recent price action, the chart pushed to new all-time highs three days in a row!

Every candle represents one minute:

We’re not focused on specific stocks … Like TSLA, DJT, NVDA, blah blah blah.

More Breaking News

Instead, we scan the market for big percent gainers and focus on specific trade patterns.

Volatile stocks can follow popular price action.

And while the rest of the market is trying to snag 20% profits on the year, my students and I can use these patterns to pull 20% in a single day!

You already saw the profits from the last election cycle.

This strategy is recyclable. We’re using the exact same patterns this time around in 2024 and 2025.

Traders who’ve been studying all year are ready to bank! For example, Cruz Control is in a great spot to capitalize on the upcoming volatility.

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 .
