Find The Next 10:45 A.M. Stock Spike! Thumbnail

Ladies and gentlemen …

The past five trading days we’ve seen a volatile stock follow THIS EXACT pattern.

See my post on X below:

There’s no guarantee we’ll see another runner today, on Tuesday, June 18.

But judging by the track record thus far and the overall strength of the market … There’s not much sense in looking for any other pattern. Especially for new traders.

My 7-step framework offers multiple profit setups for traders. But new students who focus on too many patterns at once usually get confused.

Focus on the 10:45 A.M. pattern right now.

Five for five, these are the stocks that followed the 10:45 A.M. rule, one after the other:

  • Airship AI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AISP) spiked 70% on Tuesday, June 11.
  • DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) spiked 390%* on Wednesday, June 12.
  • Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN) spiked 110%* on Thursday, June 13.
  • Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc. (NASDAQ: KAVL) spiked 510%* on Friday, June 14.

And finally …

  • Mustang Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: MBIO) spiked 310%* on Monday, June 17.

Take a look at last week’s 10:45 A.M. runners in this blog post.

And look at Monday’s runner below, every candle represents one trading minute:

For all of my students unaware of support and resistance …

Watch my video below:

Now, perhaps you noticed, MBIO consolidated before the 10:45 A.M. time target.

This is an inexact science.

No two charts will look exactly the same. And sometimes, we’ll see stocks consolidate before 10:45 A.M., sometimes after.

The more experience you have with this pattern, the faster you’ll be able to capitalize. That’s why I included my blog post with last week’s price action. You need to study these charts!

Aside from a comprehensive understanding of this trading pattern …

A trader needs to pick the right stock.

Thousands Of Spikers In 2024

Every day there are thousands of stocks moving … And if you hadn’t already noticed, the stock market is on fire in 2024.

Take a look at a chart of the S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) below, every candle represents one trading day.

As a result, there are probably hundreds of bullish stocks every day!

Even when I whittle down that list with my StocksToTrade scanner, there were still 11 stocks to choose from when MBIO was spiking yesterday.

See the screenshot of my scan below:

My students and I knew MBIO was the stock to watch because it had a hot catalyst that StocksToTrade alerted during pre market hours. Way before the starting bell rang at 9:30 A.M. Eastern.

On the MBIO chart below you can see when the Breaking News notification came out:

200%* during premarket … And the price ran past $0.60 intraday!

Then we wait for the stock chart to match our 10:45 A.M. 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 .
