As I told my StocksToTrade Advisory members last week, multi-day runners have been strong lately.
Take a look at Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: RGTI).
Remember RGTI is also one of those hot quantum computing stocks I’ve been raving about.
Oracle caught it on Thursday and gave us a green entry signal at $6.95 for a quick 13.52%* return.
And then RGTI was back at it on Friday…

Multi-day runners may chop around for a little while and then pull back, but when they retest resistance, they can really take off.
And I love these setups, especially for new traders, because they’re about confirmation and simplicity.
If you get overwhelmed by all the noise in the market, you’ll love multi-day runners.
Whether you’re brand new, have been dabbling for a while, or even a seasoned trader who hasn’t hit your stride yet, this discussion on multi-day runners could be the game-changer you need.
Why Multi-Day Runners?
One of the first things I tell traders—especially those feeling lost—is to focus on multi-day runners instead of chasing day-one runners or what I call the “one-and-dones.”
A “one-and-done pops” on something like news or another catalyst. And it actually looks solid at first glance, with good volume.
But then, when you check its chart history, you’ll see it’s a classic one-and-done. Big spike, big fail. That’s a day-one runner.
And these kinds of stocks tend to repeat their patterns. The only thing reliable about them is that they’ll do what they did before and create a lot of bag holders in the end.
If you focus on multi-day runners, you’ll avoid setups like this altogether.
So How Do You Spot These Setups?
Here’s my go-to: the VWAP hold scan. This scan identifies stocks closing strong—above VWAP, with good volume, news catalysts, and clean chart patterns.
If a stock closes strong, holding VWAP, get ready for a textbook weak-open, red-to-green setup tomorrow.
Of course, as with all trades, nothing is guaranteed…
But when you check all your boxes—strong intraday action, daily chart breakouts, sector strength, and unusual volume—you’re stacking the odds in your favor.
To scan for indicators like VWAP and find great setups like the multi-day runner, you need a robust trading platform.
My favorite is StocksToTrade and it’s the one I use every day.

My Final Thoughts…
Multi-day runners aren’t just about finding hot stocks—they’re about discipline.
They keep you from chasing random one-and-dones that fizzle out so you can focus your energy on setups with proven staying power.
So, if you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed or stuck, start narrowing your focus. Scan for stocks closing strong, look for clean chart patterns, and stick to those multi-day moves.
It’s a strategy that works, and it can work for you.
