Trading isn’t about being flashy or chasing the latest stock trending on Twitter…
Sure, that might get you a few likes or a screenshot to brag about, but it’s not the foundation of long-term success in the markets.
The traders who survive in the game of trading don’t gamble.
They rely on high-probability setups and patterns that offer a real edge…
Setups like the one that shows up only on Mondays and produces some incredible runners.
If you haven’t heard about it yet, let me explain how it works…
Every Monday, the market kicks back into gear after its weekend nap… and that reset creates a unique opportunity.
As the first session of the week gets started, there’s a specific pattern we look for that appears again and again with uncanny consistency.
And it has delivered some unbelievable gains!
Look what happened this past Monday…
Solidion Technology (NASDAQ: STI) soared nearly 140%* after announcing the launch of its new AI data center batteries.
We hunt for these kinds of Monday morning spikes every single week.
Now it’s time to learn how to spot them for yourself…
Watch the video below for the full trade breakdown and strategy tutorial on my Monday Setup.
If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and ready to level up your trading game, this is where the rubber meets the road.
Let’s talk about other ways, besides the Monday Setup, to stop chasing and start executing, with consistency, discipline, and strategy.

Consistency Always Wins
You’ve heard it before, “Go big or go home.”
Unfortunately, that’s the mindset far too many traders live (and blow up accounts) by.
They’re jumping into every hot name they see trending on social media, chasing breakouts with no plan, and dumping money into penny stocks like it’s Vegas. They’re hoping for a quick score, but hope is not a strategy — especially in the market.
The market punishes emotion-driven trades… and it punishes them hard.
If you want to build a trading career, not just catch one lucky win, you’ve got to flip the script.
Trade smarter, not harder. And that starts with high-quality, high-probability setups.
And if you’re looking to not only trade smarter, but also catch the “supernova” stocks before they run, look no further than my friend and fellow day trader Tim Sykes.

Why High-Probability Setups Beat Home Runs
High-probability setups don’t mean guaranteed winners. Nothing in trading is 100%.
But what they do offer is a repeatable edge that you can count on over time.
The path to profitability isn’t built on grand slams. It’s built on singles and doubles, executed over and over again.
You’re not trying to win every trade. You’re stacking the odds so your wins outweigh your losses in the long run.
What Makes a Trade “High Probability”?
Not every chart qualifies. Here’s what I look for, and what every solid setup should include:
Pattern Recognition:
Forget guessing. Great traders learn specific patterns like dip-and-rips, VWAP holds, RCTs, and more.
And they only trade what they know works.

Defined Risk/Reward:
This is where most traders fall short. If you’re not setting your stop loss before you enter, you’re already behind.
High-probability trades are about controlled risk. You know where you’re wrong, and you’re ready to cut fast if it doesn’t go your way. No hesitation.
Volume Confirmation:
Volume shows you who’s showing up.
If you’re buying a breakout with no volume, you’re not trading with the crowd. You’re just hoping.
Real moves have real participation. Volume confirms conviction.

My Final Thoughts…
Smart trading isn’t about chasing big wins but about creating a process that works.
You’re not here to gamble. You’re here to build something that lasts.
So next time you’re tempted to chase some sketchy runner because it’s trending online, stop and ask yourself, “Does this fit my criteria for a high-probability trade?”
If the answer is no, walk away. The right setup will come. It always does.
Have a great weekend, everyone. See you back here on Monday.
