Howdy, traders. It’s Matt here.
September is a historically slow month for stocks.
But with most of the month behind us … it’s time to start looking for multi-day runners.
We’ve already seen a few start to pop off. And soon it’ll be open season.
Here’s the most recent example … Heartbeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT)

Here’s a daily chart …

Yeehaw! That’s a +140% spike in less than 2 weeks. And this is just the beginning …
Bryce and I are looking for more stocks like this. The ones that run for days and weeks. Traders can either hold overnight or trade the intraday volatility. Or both …
We’re bringing you along for this analysis, so strap in and get ready!
The Formula for Success
Technically, no one knows whether a stock will continue to spike after day one.
But if we focus on the best setups, we’re in a much safer position for profits.
Let’s dissect our most recent runner to understand what makes these things tick.
Here’s why Heartbeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) continued its spike …
- Low float. Stocks with lower floats have higher price spikes. It’s basic economics, lower supply causes higher prices when demand increases. A low float is under 10 million shares. BEAT has a float of 6 million.
- Low Price. It’s difficult for stocks above $5 to make the huge moves we want. There are always exceptions to the rule, like Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBY). But again, we only want the best setups. BBBY was a special circumstance.
- Hot Catalyst. There’s got to be a reason for the move. And it’s got to be a good reason. Something that shows added value or business progress. For example, BEAT announced a new medical patent for their heart attack monitor.
- Big Volume. The volume shows how many shares are traded, which basically translates into popularity. And the most popular stocks spike the highest. BEAT traded over 110 million shares on the first day of spiking. If the trading volume is higher than the float, that’s a huge bullish indicator.
Start scanning for stocks that fit these criteria. And even if you miss the first spike, keep the ticker on your watchlist.
As you can see in the above charts, it took BEAT an extra 6 days of consolidation before the breakout.
