Everyone Else Is Waiting… But We’re Trading and Making Gains!

As I recently told my StocksToTrade Advisory members, “Now is the time to put the pedal to the metal!”

And I said this on Friday when the broad market is really down…

Why?

Because these are the times we as day traders wait for!

This is not the time for us to be down in the dumps.

First of all, the economy is not in the dire situation the media would like you to think it is.

Second, we’re seeing win after win in our pennies and day trade setups.

To be sure, you need a great plan in place and a process that you stick to. 

But if you have those things, and you use the proper tools, the penny stock world is yours for the taking right now.

When the Market Looks Ugly, I Lean In

Headlines are grim. The big indexes are choppy. And yes, your long-term portfolio probably feels more like a roller coaster than an investment plan. 

This is exactly the kind of environment that makes me excited.

When the market’s a mess, the noise gets louder, but the opportunities for day traders become clearer.

This Is Your Market, If You’re Prepared

See, when everyone’s distracted by the doom-and-gloom, most traders retreat. 

But we’re not most traders.

We don’t care what the S&P is doing day-to-day…

We’re not married to tickers or sectors… 

We don’t need the overall market to be bullish… 

We only need one thing: volatility.

The great thing for us is that choppy, fearful markets breed volatility like crazy.

Sudden spikes, wild premarket runners, and mid-day reversals? That’s day trader gold right there. 

But it only matters if you’re ready.

To be ready, join me every morning at 8:30 am ET for Pre-Market Prep. I go through all the great setups I see and show you exactly how to trade them.

And if you’re not into morning plays, try out my brand-new FLUX Algo tool.

It delivers 2 pm alerts every day for 24-hour runners. These are even more opportunities you don’t want to miss!

Patterns Still Work

The market changes, but the patterns repeat.

Morning Faders, VWAP afternoon setups, Red Candle Theory (RCT), Short Squeezes…these all still show up, even when the Dow is down 300 points. 

By watching the right tickers, staying nimble, and respecting your risk, you can really take advantage of this market.

And if you’re using Oracle, even better! It gives you all the information you need to make the right trade at the right time. 

It nailed iCore Connect Inc. (NASDAQ: ICCT) three times last week!

On Monday, it gave us the signal for a gain of 212%*…

And then on Tuesday for a return of 45%*…

And again on Thursday for a win of 122%*…

And speaking of short squeezes, look what happened with last week’s Squeeze Master Pro pick, American Rebel Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB).

I recommended an entry on Friday at $5.35 per share.

It flew up to $20.89, but it wasn’t done yet. After a slight pullback, it topped out at $22.80!

That’s a gain of 326%*!

Want more squeeze plays like these?

With my Squeeze Master Pro service, you get a short squeeze trade in your email inbox every Thursday night so you can take advantage on Friday.

Remember, if you’re just chasing headlines or trying to time the next macro bottom…

Honestly, you’re going to get smoked.

To day trade the real way and spot all the patterns I mentioned above and more, you need a great trading platform.

Don’t Count Out Swing Trades Just Yet…

This market can be a gift for some of the expensive stocks that were previously inaccessible to a lot of people.

Corrections like this offer an opportunity to buy in at a much lower price. But they won’t stay this low forever!

Look at some of the picks from our AI swing trade bot, IRIS

MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR) is way down…

You might already know about my love for Oklo Inc. (NASDAQ: OKLO)

And Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) is another long-time IRIS favorite that is selling at a nice discount right now…

My Final Thoughts…

Tough markets separate the tourists from the traders. 

And if you’re serious about building a long-term skill set, one that doesn’t depend on a bull market to make money, now is the time to be all in on education, pattern recognition, and execution.

This is the market that builds the real ones.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the macro chaos, I understand. It’s noisy out there. 

But that’s exactly why now is the time to simplify, narrow your focus, and get back to the core of what works:

  • Track your trades.

  • Study the patterns that keep showing up.

  • Prep every single morning like it’s game day.

  • Stay disciplined. Respect risk.

Let the rest of the market panic.

Because while everyone else is waiting for the bull market to come back…We’re already trading.

And if you’re looking for big gains on Mondays, I can help.
