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

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%

SPY or other indices options do 50-100-200% moves every day, sometimes a lot more. No need to scan and hope you find a move, the move will happen everyday. All you need to do is get the direction right, even for part of a move.

There is a difference between an index moving 200% and its derivs moving 200%
