Every morning before the bell, the same ritual plays out…
Screens light up with fresh tickers, volume spikes, and wild pre-market moves.
I hope you didn’t miss yesterday morning’s huge winner!
Co-Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ: CODX) soared over 250%* after announcing a joint venture in Saudi Arabia.
But I wasn’t too surprised… This is typical for Monday mornings.
Good thing I know exactly how to trade these plays!
Here’s 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.
We hunt for Monday morning spikes like CODX 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.

Catch The Next One! Don’t Miss Any More Opportunities!
Some of the massive runners are pure speculation…
But others might surprise you.
If you don’t know the difference between the two, you’re not just trading blind…
Most mornings, my scanners are lit up with day-tradable penny stocks, and you know how much I love those setups.
They’re volatile, exciting, and if you know how to read the chart, they can deliver huge intraday moves.
But every now and then, something rare happens…

When a “Real” Stock Hits My Scanner
Usually, our Oracle algorithm tracks speculative penny stock momentum.
But once in a while? A “real” stock pops up, and when that happens, I pay attention.
We’re not talking about junk tickers with nothing behind them. We’re talking about companies with actual revenue, positive cash flow, and real products.
Because when a fundamentally sound stock lines up with explosive price action, you’ve got a high-conviction setup on your hands.
And Oracle doesn’t throw darts. It’s tracking real-time price action, large volume shifts, and pattern breakouts, all of which become even more powerful when supported by solid fundamentals.

Penny Stocks: Trash, But Profitable Trash
Let’s just call it like it is:
Penny stocks are garbage, and that’s why we love them.
They’re emotional. They’re hype-driven. Most have no business model, no revenue, no patents, and no cash.
But they offer insane potential because:
- You’re not trading the business.
- You’re not investing in the company.
- You’re trading human emotion for one day, and that’s it.
As I always say with penny stocks, “Date them. Don’t marry them!”
Take Scienture Holdings (NASDAQ: SCNX)…
It’s a startup biotech company with only two products in distribution and $128 thousand in annual revenue. Yes, you heard me right, $128 thousand.
But none of that matters!
After announcing the start of commercial sales for its second product, the stock surged. A catalyst like that lights a fire under a penny stock.
And of course, Oracle caught it too. It gave a green entry signal at $1.02 per share, and SCNX ran to $2.60 the same day for a gain of 155%*.
Let me be clear:
This is not the kind of stock you swing trade. This is the kind of stock you trade for the day, lock in your gains, and move on.
What Makes “Real” Stocks Different?
If you’re trading names in the $6+ range with real financials, your strategy has to shift.
Here’s what separates a “real” stock from the penny trash:
- Revenue growth
- Assets > Liabilities
- Cash on hand
- Institutional interest
These are swing trade candidates.
When these stocks dip 1–2%, the market doesn’t freak out…
Why?
Because investors know there’s value, and that helps keep the floor from falling out.
Now, compare that to a penny stock with no cash. One red candle, and everyone runs for the exits.

My Final Thoughts…
If you’re new to this game, or even if you’re not, here’s what you need to remember:
When Trading Penny Stocks:
- Fundamentals don’t matter.
- Patterns and volume are everything.
- Get in, get out, fast.
- Never become attached to the stock.
When Trading “Real” Stocks:
- Look for cash, revenue, and stability.
- Use fundamentals to back up your thesis.
- Swing trading is your strategy.
No matter what you trade, have a plan and stick to it.
Let emotion wreck someone else’s account… not yours.
Have a great day, everyone. See you back here tomorrow.
