It ain’t pretty out there…
At least it’s not if you’re following the big money and trading the broad market.
Yesterday, we had another pullback…
Same action, different day.
But do I care?
Not in the least.
First, I still believe all of this is only temporary. It’s not as bad as the headlines make it seem.
And, no, the market isn’t crashing.
And second, if you’re focusing on high-quality, high-probability day trade and penny stock setups, of which there are a ton, you can still make trades galore.
But you need to know what you’re doing and have the right tools at your disposal…
If you don’t, you might as well buy shares of the S&P 500 Index and call it a day. Good luck!

Monday morning gives us a window of opportunity that doesn’t exist at any other time during the week.
The Monday setup has brought 100%+ gains…in just one day!*
I’ve studied and perfected this trade. Now I want to share it with you.
Learn it for yourself right here in my video tutorial.

And none of its functions go to waste…

Start With What Matters: Top Gainers
The second you launch the platform, “Top % Gainers” are right in front of you.
These are the stocks that attract volume, the traders, and the algos.
When these stocks surge pre-market or at the open, consolidate, and then hold near their highs, your setup has much higher odds of success for a second or third leg of price movement.
You don’t have to chase. That’s where the edge comes from with the StocksToTrade platform.
Filters That Actually Work for You
You can customize everything — price range, volume, float, percent gain, whatever metric your heart desires.
Me?
I filter for stocks with a price between $0.20 and $25 a share, a minimum volume of 100,000 shares, and a minimum gain of 15%.
Anything under that?
It usually doesn’t move, doesn’t get volume, and isn’t worth your time.
And if nothing shows up? No problem.
Trading is never about forcing setups. It’s about waiting for only the great ones.
Find What’s Breaking Out: New Highs Scan
If you’re hunting breakouts, and who isn’t, the “New High of Day” scan is your best friend.
This scan updates in real-time, showing you which stocks are pushing through resistance and making new highs.
It’s absolutely essential during pre-market, when volume is light.
Once a ticker starts breaking out, that’s your signal to dig deeper, set alerts, and get ready.
Full-Featured Charting in Real Time
Charts are the staple ingredient to trading.
StocksToTrade gives you real-time charting with multiple linked timeframes so there are no delays or time lags.
I recommend:
- 2-Day / 5-Minute candles for intraday action
- 2-Month / 15-Minute candles for short-term trends
- 1-Year / 1-Day candles for big-picture context
You can link these charts by color, so everything updates together when you switch tickers.
It’s super clean and super fast.
Indicators, Alerts & Customization
Every technical indicator you need is baked into StocksToTrade.
Can’t be glued to your computer every minute of the day? Set price alerts directly on the chart with a simple right-click.
Trading a breakout? Get alerted.
Waiting for a dip buy? Get notified when it hits.
No babysitting needed.
Level 1 and Level 1: The Info Pros Use
Level 1 is your tape, where you’ll see the actual trades go off.
Green are for upticks, red are for downticks, and gold are for big block trades.
Level 2 quotes show you real-time bid/ask action, color-coded and aggregated.
Use this to know where the big buyers or sellers are.
News, Notes, and Sector Sympathy Plays
Every ticker includes real-time:
- News
- SEC Filings
- Chat room sentiment
- Key stats & fundamentals
Plus, use the “Related” tab to see other stocks in the same sector. This way, you can catch the sympathy plays before they’re on the move.
