These Are The TWO Stocks I'm Watching for Monday...

What's up, everyone? All right, in today's 
episode, I'm going to break down my watch  
list for Monday morning and the game plan for 
the week ahead. Last week, we saw three of the  
biggest percentage gainers of the entire 
year. On what was it, Monday or Tuesday,  
we had a 1,000% intraday gain. Then, we had a 
2,200% intraday gain. And then we had another  
1,000% intraday gain on Friday. A,000%. In other 
words, a stock going from $1 to $10 or $2 to  
$20 or $3 to $30. I mean, we've seen several 
of, you know, that proportion move. All of  
these have been going into the teens or 20s, if 
not higher. These are huge moves. But what's the  
common denominator between these stocks? Chinese 
and no news. That is tough. So, this feels like  
a little bit of a backwards market where a stock 
that is a US company that has what is legitimately  
good news may end up actually getting ignored 
right now because there's more opportunity and  
crazy potential on a Chinese biotech with no news. 
Strange, but that's the market we're in. And I got  
a little frustrated with this towards the end of 
last week because I had some trades on some stocks  
that had good catalysts that I really felt were 
going to work, but they didn't work. And I felt  
like it was because not because the actual stock 
wasn't good or because the catalyst wasn't good,  
but because traders were waiting for the next 
Chinese stock with no news to start popping up and  
so they weren't going to waste their buying power 
and, you know, waste their ammo on something with  
news or something that was a US company. Okay, 
so that's a little frustrating, but you either,  
you know, go with them or you, you know, trade 
with the crowd or you just say, you get stubborn  
and you say, "No, I'm not going to trade anything 
that's a foreign listed security moving up with no  
news." A lot of these are going to go up a,000% 
and within a week or two, they're going to be  
right back down at where they came from, if not 
lower. But going up a,000%, that's volatility.  
Volatility is an opportunity. So, should I really 
just sit here and get stubborn and say I'm not  
going to trade that? I don't think that's the 
right move either. So, we're going to jump on  
to the screen share. I'm going to break down 
the watch list. Uh, as it turns out, last week  
was the best week of the entire month of July, 
finishing up over $103,000 here in my Roth IRA.  
This doesn't include the small account challenge 
uh progress, which is separate from this. So,  
last week was a good week. I had a no trade day 
on Tuesday. The week before I had a no trade day  
on Thursday and Friday, but you know, Monday of 
this last last week was really good. Uh Tuesday  
we ended up having that 2,000% move. I didn't 
even trade it, but I still, you know, I was able  
to capitalize the next day on continuation and the 
FOMO that was in the market on other stocks. So,  
a really good day on Wednesday and then Thursday 
and Friday kind of slowed down a little bit. So,  
that's where I'm sitting right now on the month. 
Now, $214,000 for July. We're going to go to  
um monthtodate and just look at the uh the metrics 
just a little bit deeper here. So this month here  
uh so average accuracy uh is only 59 1.5%. 
That is lower than my all-time average which  
I think you saw back here at 68%. 68.5% that's 
over the course of 10 years. If we just did  
uh last year just for instance last year was 
71% so a little bit above average last year. Um,  
this year is probably around 68%. But this month 
right here, um, yeah, a little bit lower, but  
the average winners are 6,800. Average losers are 
2500. So, I'm doing a really good job maintaining  
a solid profit to loss ratio where the average 
winners are much bigger than the average losers.  
Um, profitability by day of the week doesn't 
really make a big difference on a short period  
of just a couple weeks because that can't really 
get much from that. But profitability by price is  
interesting. between two and five and between five 
and 10 and I haven't really done very well between  
10 and 20 or higher. Once they get a little higher 
price, they become a little bit more difficult.  
Not really taking trades uh with small size. If 
it I am, it's because I'm not that confident. So,  
pretty much waiting waiting and then taking 
the confidence to go in with bigger size  
um on the instruments I've done the best on. 
We can see, you know, had a couple that I lost  
on. Most of them, however, I've done well with uh 
stocks with more than 25 million shares of volume,  
stocks with at least 3x um the 50-day average, but 
doing well on uh the 5x, which makes sense. So,  
this is kind of the um and then if we well, I 
don't have the ability to sort it by the company  
or country of origin. Um but what I think you 
would notice is that doing well on foreign listed  
securities. So Friday we had stack a Chinese stock 
fossil fuels doesn't matter because it's Chinese  
and it has no news. So basically I mean it's kind 
of crazy but in a way does it even matter what  
the company does? I don't know. I don't know if it 
does. I mean this the company clearly doesn't even  
have news. So what does it matter if it's Chinese 
if well it has to be Chinese it seems but it  
doesn't matter if it's biotech or something else. 
Now, I thought biotech did kind of matter earlier  
in the week. It was biotech stocks that gave us 
our two big moves on uh Monday and Tuesday and and  
Wednesday or whatever those uh days were. Uh but 
then this energy stock on uh Friday ends up going,  
as you can see here, from a low of what was this 
a dollar a share all the way up to a high of 12  
bucks. So, incredible move. Many of you guys who 
trade in the afternoons, I saw the post that you  
did really well on it. And this is the incredible 
thing where you sort of grinding higher, halted,  
pulled back, grinding higher, halting, pulling 
back, grinding higher, grinding higher, halted up,  
dipped down, halted a second time at five, and it 
resumed at $8. Dip and rip into a second halt at  
950. Then it resumes 10, dip and rip up to 
12. Then halted at $12, resumes at 10, and  
halts down at 8. bounces here, opening around 7, 
halting back up at 8, then opening, selling off,  
then rallying back up and into after hours, but 
not getting back to that peak. This is a little  
interesting that we halted up once, twice, and 
three times, and we didn't open high and halt  
down. We halted up at 12 and then we opened at 
10. That's a little scary. That's the challenge  
of being in with a halt is you could open higher 
like you did here from 5 to 8 or you could open  
lower like here from 10 to or 12 to 8 coming 
back down. So I prefer trading pre-market where  
you don't have to worry about these halts. And I 
also like trading um well in theory I'd be fine  
with trading after hours because there's no halts 
as well. But I don't typically trade during that  
window. Here we had uh DFNS that squeezed from 450 
to 750. Interestingly, a US company, aerospace and  
defense. Um there there was no catalyst on this 
um on Friday as far as I saw. Now that was No,  
that was on the 20th. So um I don't think there 
was actually even any news on this on Friday. Um  
but again, it made this big move. It had a recent 
reverse split back here. Um this was just uh on  
what was this? July 21st. Yeah, the 21st there. We 
had the reverse split, some volume, then it pulled  
back. Now it's kind of rallied back up. But this 
is the high on the 21st. So we're kind of still,  
that's not a very good line, but kind of, you 
know, a little bit of an issue there. Maybe I  
would say this is probably worth watching at, you 
know, 4:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, early traders.  
But I don't know by 7:30, you know, a coming into 
towards the open if this will still be in play.  
Uh, yes, it has a lot of room at the 200 moving 
average, but it's a little off the theme being  
that it's a US company. Now, I could just double 
check that because sometimes these companies get  
labeled uh incorrectly, but no, New York, New 
York. So, US, it's a US company. All right. So,  
um, so we're just going to start by looking at the 
after hours top gainers scanner right here. So,  
we had DFNS. And by the way, those of you 
guys that want to check out the twoe trial,  
during the trial, you get access to all these same 
scanners. You can make your layout however you  
want. You save it. you log in each day and you can 
be using the charts, the scanners, the news feed,  
and of course you can be uh listening to my 
broadcast while I'm trading each morning.  
But I want to remind you as always, of course, 
you know, trading is risky. My results aren't  
typical. So you should always manage your risk 
by practicing in a simulator before putting real  
money on the line. And you should never try to 
blindly follow anyone, not me or anyone else. It  
won't teach you self-sufficiency. If you blindly 
follow, number one, you'll always be behind  
whoever you're following. So your winners will 
be smaller and your losers will be bigger. But  
secondly, you'll be completely dependent on that 
person. I want you to become a self-sufficient,  
independent trader. Now, I'm sharing with you the 
strategy that I trade every day because to me,  
it makes the most sense. It's the most logical way 
to approach actively trading the market. Looking  
for the leading gainers that have high volume 
typically that have a news catalyst, but that's  
an exception right now. And then looking for the 
pullbacks to ride the momentum, buying the dips,  
buying the dips for the pop back up. So, 
anyways, check out the twoe trial if you'd like.  
uh link is pinned at the top of the comments. So, 
DFNS um BIYA uh this one we traded a little bit.  
It was on the watch list actually last Sunday. Um 
it had this uh sort of big move uh on Friday, then  
it continued into pre-market on Monday. So, that 
was um that that was a good call there. Uh but not  
interesting here today uh going into Monday this 
week. OMH CNET not interesting. Not interesting.  
OMH, that's just a deadcat bounce off the low. Not 
interested. Um, LSE, this one, no volume really.  
Jag X, there have been times where this one 
worked, but it's too cheap. It's not moving. CLIR,  
I don't see anything happening on that one. Um, 
so for after hours top gainers, DFNS really is  
the only one that's worth considering. So, that's 
the first one on the watch list. Now, let's look  
at stack. Um, this one obviously made a big move 
as well. Would it be worth watching going into  
Monday? So, on the daily chart, stack was total 
uh blue sky setup, all-time highs on Friday. Let's  
just check DFNS on that. So, DFNS had a lot of 
room to the 200, but it's far away from blue sky.  
I just wanted to confirm that. Uh, stack, yes, it 
is blue sky. Um, it's possible you could get more  
uh opportunities on this. Some traders got it on 
Friday, but a lot of people aren't still trading  
on a Friday in July. So, they'll sit down Monday 
morning the way I will, and they'll think, well,  
could this get back to 12? And so, what levels 
would need to break in order for that to happen?  
And I would generally say, uh, I look at the the 
most recent high um sort of of a little move,  
which was about 645. And then above that, we've 
got this teeny little candle right here at 674.  
And then all of a sudden you've got a little 
bit of a sort of window there up towards 1140.  
So if this was able to reclaim 674 then I would 
start to look for this move higher. Maybe there's  
actually a little candle right there around 
730. Um but you do start to get into a window  
there with room back to 1140 and then over 1140 
you've got room back to the highs. So um those  
are levels that I would watch. I would consider 
this to be a pivot. we're stairstepping down,  
but if we break over that level, then suddenly 
we're starting to make moves higher. Um, you know,  
is that going to happen? I don't know. ZCMD 
surprised us last week. Um, if you recall with  
the headline of, let's see, no um it was it was 
right here. Um, the offering drops to a dollar,  
you know, 50, then squeezes up to eight, but then 
comes back down. Just crazy. So, I don't typically  
expect after a big move that we'll actually get 
back to the high. Um, but you know, it's happened  
before and we're in a market where the unexpected 
uh things seem to be happening. So, keep an eye on  
stack going into Monday as well. Just, you know, 
keep it on a side chart. APUS, I see that one.  
Pharmaceutical, I'm not really sure what was going 
on there, why it gapped higher. Um, almost looks  
like it had a split, but there was no volume on 
it. only 27,000 shares. So, we'll have to see what  
that's uh doing on Monday. Not really sure. Uh so, 
LVWR, this one 23 million share float, 103 million  
shares of volume. Wouldn't really watch this for 
continuation, although I could see um you know,  
why some might be interested in it above. You sort 
of got this descending resistance line in here. um  
as you can see. So you're below that and the pivot 
on this would probably be that high right there of  
$1.77 and then that kind of gives you room up 
to this level here of 209. So I could see that  
maybe being something some traders would look at, 
but to me the price is a little low, the float's  
a little high, probably not going to work. WLDS 
Israeli company squeezed uh up into the close then  
pulled back. Typically hasn't been an easy stock 
to trade. has a few higher volume red days. I just  
don't think it's gonna work. B IOT, this one from 
Friday, um big move, sold off. It was day one,  
uh of trading, lots of halts, but not a lot of 
liquidity, very light volume, so no trades there,  
no interest really. Uh JM, this one, you know, 
I don't know. I mean, I thought we were going  
to pull away up here on Friday. It didn't end 
up happening. So maybe in in the coming days,  
but I kind of don't think so. VIVK, this one's 
pulled back probably a little bit too much. Uh  
descending resistance, but on the other hand, 
almost maybe ascending support here, although  
not not sure that one's going to work either. Ray 
and Yai, not sure about these ones. They don't  
look that interesting. So I would say the two to 
watch going into Monday is are stack and DFNS. And  
um you better believe that I'll be watching this 
top gainer scanner bright and early looking for  
the leading gainers. And then if we've got some 
nice momentum, jumping in on pullbacks and riding  
those waves higher. I am in a place right now 
where I'm trading less, but when I take a trade,  
I am stepping up to the plate with pretty big 
positions. So I'm being aggressive to capitalize  
on opportunities, but I'm focusing on quality over 
quantity. So in total this month, um let's see  
where did my metrics go. Um see how many trades 
I'm at for this month. only 71. We just checked  
to see last year at this time um how many trades 
I taken. 358. That's crazy. Uh granted, I had made  
definitely, you know, uh four times as much money, 
but uh we were in a pretty hot market there. Uh  
but nonetheless, um you know, that's that's a it's 
five times, six times as much as many trades. So,  
um that taking fewer trades right now in part 
because um the market has been a little bit little  
bit trickier like when something works it can work 
really well but then there's a lot of false starts  
and I don't I try to avoid getting chopped up in 
those false starts and just waiting for something  
that I think actually can pull away. So trading 
a little bit less um that's you might think  
well gez you're trading less and you've made you 
know 80% less money. This is really a factor of  
um the market is not as strong as it was last year 
at the same time. Same with June. Last June was  
incredible. This June decent but not as good. 
Um and that's fine. I mean that's just the way  
the market is. It's the eb and the flow. Towards 
the end of last summer, we had um the price of  
Bitcoin rolling over and uh you know, Bitcoin, 
it's a speculative asset class. Um you know,  
of course, traders um traders who are investing 
in Bitcoin also invest in other speculative assets  
um including small caps. So, this was sort of 
the peak in August on Bitcoin of last year and  
it's been all downhill since then. Um if we did 
like the fiveyear, you could see like the big  
kind of move here. We had this incredible run from 
end of 2024 into 2025. Um, all the excitement of  
the new administration. A lot of crypto traders 
are really excited about that. Um, and now kind  
of that catalyst is is is done. And so now we're 
on the backside coming back down and people are  
speculating if we're going to hold this level or 
if we're going to, you know, break and go lower.  
Um, and the reason I bring it up is because this 
is one of those things that's kind of the rising  
tide that lifts all ships. When all the crypto 
uh investors and traders are rolling in money,  
then they start spreading that money on other 
speculative asset classes like small cap stocks,  
throwing a million dollars on this 
stock, a million dollars on that stock,  
and so you just have more volume. But when crypto 
is down, all the crypto bros that, you know,  
are spending freely when the market's hot are, you 
know, kind of tightening their belts a little bit,  
so to speak. And so we do often see that there's a 
correlation between um the strength in the crypto  
markets and the and the um degree of volatility 
that we see in the small cap market, which is  
interesting. I don't trade crypto myself, but I'm 
aware of that correlation and I do pay attention  
to it. So, you know, crypto rolling over towards 
the end of last year uh was kind of the beginning  
of small cap slowing down and this year uh has 
been slower until um you know, we got this nice  
um nice move uh in a number of stocks in June and 
it has been continuing in July uh but not to the  
same extent that we had last year. Nonetheless, 
we're still uh I would say off the lows of  
small caps. We probably bottomed in like I don't 
know maybe it was March um or April when things  
were really really slow. U and now things are 
definitely improved since then which is nice. So  
um yeah I'm trying to focus on being patient and 
waiting on the sidelines but when I see something  
that looks good boom jumping in and getting 
aggressive. So that's the game plan for uh for  
the week ahead is to continue that uh strategy 
that practice. And so I hope to see you guys  
tuned in bright and early tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. If 
you guys do the twoe trial, if you start tonight,  
then you can sign your market data agreements and 
then 6:30, 7:00 in the morning when you log in,  
all your market data will be running and you'll 
be able to have the charts and the scanners and  
everything running. So, um, I hope you guys check 
that out and I'll see you in the morning. Now,  
reminder, as always, trading is risky 
and my results aren't typical. So,  
please manage your risk by practicing in a 
simulator before putting real money on the line.
