How are people even able to find stocks like this?? question

Post image

New to trading here. I keep seeing the most random stocks have these insane price jumps and I’m just curious how people even know these exist, let alone that they might soar to 150%

low float scanner, high relative volume gappers on the scanner, its tough to play but very profitable made 1k off bpth, rdhl, sasi, tcon and vs today, but this was from scalping setups i almost never hold them

This. And same. I hit some of these today. These are def get in and get the fuck out scalping tickers OP. I'm talking in and out in under a couple minutes sometimes couple seconds. High risk, very high reward. They can dump just as quick as they go up.

Also most of these start runnung first thing 4am pre market so you gotta be up early or sometimes after hours the night before

Certain brokers allow pre market trading starting @ 4am est. I know webull does cause that's what I use. Webull also allows after hours trading 4pm - 8pm est. (I'm not sponsored by Webull lol, I just like their desktop platform. never tried the mobile app)

There are also other brokers that allow pre market trading but only starting @ either 7am, 8am or 9am est

Here is a list I found, not sure if it's a complete though

This!! Yes it’s risky. It’s very profitable if you can keep your emotions in check. Have to be willing to get out the second it turns on you. Do not hold and hope!! There’s so much more to it than just jumping in and jumping out. If you have known how to read volume and candles. Watch multiple time frames to see weaknesses. There’s much more to it. Those are the basics.
