The market’s back!
We’ve made a full recovery after the month-long pullback after “Tariff Day.”
I’m not surprised, and I’m happy about it…
But I still advise you to keep your eyes wide open until we have a few more days of confirmation.
Don’t get blindsided by another market swing in the opposite direction.
It could happen…
That’s why I also recommend you stick with day and penny stock trades that have brought us success through all the chaos.
We keep winning with high-quality, high-probability setups, no matter what the big money is doing!
And speaking of great setups, you should check out the new one I’ve found…
I discovered that Monday morning presents a unique window of opportunity that doesn’t exist at any other time during the week.
This Monday setup has brought 100%+ gains…in just one day!*
I’ve studied and perfected this trade, and now I want to share it with you.
Learn it for yourself in my video tutorial below:
But you can’t trade all these awesome patterns if you don’t have one very important thing in your trader’s toolkit…
If there’s one tool every serious trader needs in their arsenal, it’s a tight, well-built watchlist.
This is your daily playbook.
I’m a big fan of the day one movers, for sure.
I’m talking about the ones that explode right out of the gate…
But timing those in real-time can be nearly impossible if you’re busy, trading part-time, or still finding your rhythm.
That’s where your watchlist steps in.

Start With a Rolling Watchlist Strategy
I keep a labeled watchlist for every day of the week, Monday through Friday.
That way, I can track how stocks perform over time, not just for a single day.
At the end of each session, I scan back a few days and look for gainers that held their strength, not the one-and-dones that spike and die.
If a low-priced stock is still near its highs after two, three, or even five days, someone’s supporting that strength.
That’s the kind of setup I want.
What to Add and What to Skip
Here are some hypothetical examples:
- Let’s say Stock ABC was up over 100% intraday, but it faded into the close and lost volume. That’s not what I want.
- Then there’s Stock XYZ, which ran big mid-day, held its gains, and has a history of moving. That goes on the list.
- Stock CDE looked even better with strong intraday action, a VWAP hold, and then a clean setup into after-hours. That’s also on the list.
Set Alerts, Then Let the Trade Come to You
You don’t need to be glued to the screen for eight hours.
Just create your watchlist, set your alerts at the key levels you’ve identified, and you’re ready to execute when that alert bell rings.
What is the easiest way to do all of the above?

Keep It Simple and Keep It Tight
My best advice is to limit your daily watchlist to five stocks at the most.
I’ve seen traders with 30, 40, even 50 names. That’s overload — there’s no way to track that many.
If you’ve got too many, use the StocksToTrade screener to cut the lowest-volume ones.
Volume indicates interest, and if nobody’s trading it, neither should you.
My Final Thoughts…
This whole process takes 15 minutes a day. That’s it. Screen for the top gainers, review the charts, and build a high-quality list.
You don’t need to be locked in all day. Set your alerts, be ready, and take action only if the setup plays out.
If a stock sits under resistance all day and doesn’t break? Skip it.
But if it triggers? You’re poised to strike with confidence.
