Every morning, traders rush into the market chasing the first big mover of the day. And every morning, countless accounts take a hit because of it.
The funny thing about all of that? The problem isn’t that the stock plays aren’t there.
They show up again and again, almost like clockwork…
Just like the Monday Setup.
Haven’t heard about it yet? You’ll want to…
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 at this past Monday…
Biopharma Soligenix (NASDAQ) gained an incredible 144%* after announcing a promising FDA designation for one of its treatments.
These are the kinds of morning spikes we hunt for every Monday!
Want to learn how to spot them for yourself?
Watch the video below for the full trade breakdown and strategy tutorial for my Monday Setup.
The real challenge for traders is knowing how to approach all the opportunities out there without getting trapped.
Because if you do it right, you can more than double your money in a single trade like I did the other day.

The Setup Every Trader Needs to Know
If you’re new to trading the wild, fast-moving stocks I love, there’s one pattern you have to learn.
It’s simple, it helps you avoid impulsive, FOMO-driven trades, and it’s one of the highest-quality, most reliable setups you’ll ever find.
And the best part?
These opportunities show up almost every morning.
But first… let’s talk about pre-market trading.
Pre-market can feel like the Wild West. Stocks move fast, headlines hit early, and price action is often unpredictable.
If you’re brand new to trading or don’t have a solid trade plan, pre-market will chew you up and spit you out faster than you can say “Wall Street.”
If you’ve already been through this or just aren’t ready, I have a great solution…
Don’t trade pre-market.
Instead, shift your focus to one of the best setups out there, the Morning Fader.
A Textbook Example
Wednesday morning, Tharimmune Inc. (NASDAQ: THAR) gave us the perfect case study.
- The Catalyst: THAR announced positive results for one of its drug trial candidates.
- The Spike: Shares gapped up over 40%* in pre-market.
- The Fade: As the open approached, momentum dried up and the stock ground lower — a textbook pre-market fade.
This is exactly what we’re looking for.
And here’s where it gets exciting…
THAR faded into the open and then took off, moving from around $1.34 per share to a high of $3.089 for a gain of 131%*.
Here’s a chart of THAR from Wednesday morning…

And our Oracle, our proprietary algorithmic tool, caught it too…
Oracle users who missed it right at the market open, got a green entry signal at $1.48 per share, so they were also able to get in on the action.
Oracle takes the guesswork out by giving you a concrete entry and risk level. That’s why I rely on it every single day. See it in action for yourself during one of our FREE live daily webinars.
Why the Morning Fader Works
It Traps Early Shorts:
Many traders pile in short on the premarket fade, expecting the stock to collapse. That sets the stage for a squeeze when it regains strength at the open.
Float Rotation:
THAR had a tiny float of around 4.2 million shares. By the time the market opened, that float had already rotated multiple times. High float rotation almost always signals explosive potential.
The Squeeze Setup:
Once those shorts are trapped, the move higher can be fast and explosive.
How to Trade It
Here’s how I approach the Morning Fader:
Step 1: Watch the Fade:
Look for the pre-market spike that grinds lower into the open.
Step 2: Wait for Confirmation:
The best faders don’t collapse instantly. They lure in shorts first, fade gradually, then show strength into the open.
Step 3: Use Oracle for Precision:
Oracle alerted an entry in THAR at $1.48 with a clear stop-loss level. That trade ran to $3.089, a 109%* move.
Oh, and I almost forgot… That run to $3.089 was just a warm-up for THAR. After doubling our money in the morning, it rose to a high later that afternoon of $4.049. So Oracle users who held onto their shares actually saw a win of 173.6%*.
And the stock moved even higher in after-hours trading!
My Final Thoughts…
The Morning Fader is one of the most powerful patterns out there, and it’s perfect for new traders.
It keeps you out of risky pre-market traps while still letting you take advantage of fast-moving plays at the open.
Combine that with Oracle’s real-time signals, and you’ve got a setup that can give you structure and confidence.
Don’t wait… Add the Morning Fader to your playbook right away!
Have a great day, everyone. See you back here tomorrow.
