The market throws out shiny distractions every single day…

Big spikes, breaking news, and tickers that look unstoppable… until they suddenly aren’t.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated chasing those plays, you’re not alone. 

The good news is that there’s a smarter way to approach it.

One reliable and proven strategy is my Monday Setup. Haven’t heard about it yet? Listen up!

Every Monday, the market kicks back into gear after a weekend of rest… And that reset creates a unique opportunity!

As the first session of the week gets started, there’s a specific pattern we look for, one that appears again and again with uncanny consistency.

And it has delivered some incredible wins!

Look what happened this past Monday…

HCW Biologics (NASDAQ: HCWB) announced its development of a groundbreaking treatment for certain types of cancers… And the stock took off, gaining 113%*!

These are the kinds of morning spikes we hunt for every Monday!

Now I want to teach you how to spot them for yourself!

Watch the video below for the full trade breakdown and strategy tutorial for my Monday Setup.

Another high-quality setup delivered a quick 52% win yesterday in a certain stock.

 

Take a look…

And this wasn’t a random happy accident that we saw this run before it happened…

It was simply about recognizing a repeatable pattern that quietly produces some of the best opportunities out there.

And once you learn to spot it, you’ll see the market in a whole new light.

Why I Focus on Multi-Day Runners

One thing new or struggling traders need to learn is to stop chasing “one-and-done” stocks…

A “one-and-done” stock is exactly what it sounds like. It gaps up huge on day one, everyone talks about it… and then it fizzles.

Instead, you should focus on multi-day runners.

No matter where you are in your trading journey, this advice holds: multi-day runners give you cleaner opportunities than random day-one spikes.

What a Multi-Day Runner Looks Like

Tuesday night, during his Midnight Madness live webinar, my friend and fellow trader at StocksToTrade, Matt Monaco, called out Inno Holdings (NASDAQ: INHD) as a top watch for Wednesday. 

Why? 

Because it had already run for two days straight, spiking multiple times on Monday and then a few more times on Tuesday, without ever fading away into oblivion (like a “one-and-done”).

With that kind of history, he figured a third-day surge was in the cards…

And he was right!

This is exactly how the multi-day runner pattern works!

One Way I Find Them: The VWAP Hold Scan

One of my favorite tools is what I call the VWAP Hold Scan.

This scan finds stocks that are:

  • Closing strong near the highs of the day

  • Trading above VWAP

  • Showing unusual volume

  • Backed by fresh news

These names go right onto my multi-day runner watchlist.

My Final Thoughts…

Here’s your game plan for hunting down multi-day runners:

  • Skip the “one-and-dones”.

  • Look for stocks that hold their gains into the afternoon.

  • Confirm with VWAP, volume, news, and sector momentum.

  • Add them to your multi-day watchlist.

Multi-day runners give you time…

They let you plan, stalk your entry, and trade with confidence, instead of chasing a fading morning spike.
