I don't know about you, but I like sticking to a routine with most things in my life. I'm talking my morning routine, my workout routine, my grooming routine, even my lunch routine (one grass-fed organic ribeye, every day, in case you were wondering).
So - no big surprise - I like to stick to a routine when it comes to trading, too. And I'm going to let you in on it, because A) it's really easy to follow, and B) I think it's going to help give you a chance to make the same kind of money I have.
What I don't do is chase the news or try to jump into the first trade I see; that won't work.
Instead, I turn to my seven "core stocks." These are the stocks I trade every single day if I see the opportunity.
I buy these stocks in the first 30 minutes... and I take my profits before 4:30 PM each and every day.
These aren't just any stocks, now. I'm talking about market movers - massive, well-known companies with tons of volume and liquidity.
And the best part is - I profit off of them within the day. As in, I'm out and my account is up before dinner. There's no buy-and-hold, no tying up my cash in hopes that I see a single-digit return in four months.
Let me show you my "starting lineup"...
I'm guessing you're familiar with Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN). The one-stop shop for everything has exploded over the last few years. With one-day shipping and one-click access to anything you need - it's not surprising that Amazon.com (AMZN) has become a household name and, just as importantly, a solid investment.

Another stock I bet probably doesn't need much introduction. Whether you prefer an Android or an iPhone, you know Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the quintessential must-own tech stock. The stock sees a lot of press as well, and it's another perfect addition to my core seven stocks.
Twenty-one percent of all the people on Earth - around 1.62 billion people on average - use the Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) social media platform every day. It's playing a bigger and bigger role in... well, everything, and it seems like new features are rolled out all the time. Facebook Pay, live streams, a dating platform, cryptocurrency to name just a few. This powerful social media conglomerate continues to impress, and that's why it continues to be part of my core seven.
Tesla Inc. (NADAQ: TSLA) is on the forefront of the innovation of the automobile industry, not to mention the battery and automation industries. Led by the controversial but undeniably brilliant Elon Musk, this company is always in the headlines one way or another. I love keeping a close eye on this company, and the stock can really deliver some nice profits.

This streaming giant started the "cut the cord" revolution and has continued to grow since. With over 158 million subscribers and counting, streaming giant Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continues to perform, adding new titles every month, keeping content fresh for its viewers. This growth helps boost profits, which is why this streaming mogul resides on my core seven list.
Billions of people use Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary Google to answer their most burning questions every single day. As the largest search engine in the world, Google handles over two trillion searches per day, and that number is predicted to continue to rise. And with this growth, our profits are predicted to grow as well.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) might be the only stock that isn't a household name, but don't sell it short - this company is massive, the "Amazon of China." This multinational e-commerce, retail, Internet, and technology conglomerate has made quite a name for itself over the last few years. And it's also made quite the name for itself in my portfolio - serving up massive profits.
THIS GUY hand-built a system that’s able unlock double- and triple-digit stock gains over the course of weeks or even days – here’s how…
But I don't just add these stocks to my trading lineup haphazardly. No, I have a game plan in place, and it helps me lock in quick and easy profits.
Here's what I mean...
I like to call it my five-, 15-, and 30-minute bar, and it helps decide if any of these seven stocks are poised to profit for the day.
The bars are just what they sound like - at five, 15, and 30 minutes after opening bell, I turn to my screens and open my bar setups.
There are seven separate graphs, with lines running through each. Those lines are called the Ichimoku Cloud. I could write a book on this trading tool, but to keep it short - it's a Japanese trading tool that allows me to predict if a stock has momentum, as well as how much support is behind it and how much resistance it's facing. Basically, the Ichimoku Cloud gives you a glimpse into that stock's future - much like a crystal ball.
And here's the thing: Thanks to 1,700 lines of code, I have an algorithm that makes reading the cloud simple and easy.
When I'm looking at my bar setups, regardless if it's the five-, 15-, or 30-minute bar - I am looking for one thing: a stock pinpointed above the cloud. If it's above the cloud, it's a buy. Yeah, it's really that simple.
Now, I do have one rule of thumb when it comes to my bar setups - "four more, and I'm out the door." It sounds cheesy, I know, but it's a great reminder for you if you happen to start trading off these bar setups. What I mean by this phrase though is that I'm looking for one to three clear setups (stocks sitting above the bar). If I see four or more, I won't add anything to my portfolio for the day. And that's because when we see four or more, we could be looking at a market that is gapping up - and a gapping market can cost you big if you play it wrong.
But let's say there are only one to three. I'm looking closely to see if any fit my risk portfolio. And if they do, I add them to my lineup. But like I said earlier, this isn't the old buy-and-hold you're used to. I am in these trades in the morning and out of them before closing bell in the same day - meaning my money isn't tied up while I cross my fingers hoping to one day see a profit.
I see those profits in less than seven hours. And if there are no profits to be seen, I get that money back in my pocket, and it's ready to be invested the next day.
I'm always, always on the lookout for the "next" place money can go work. That's why I'm excited about "pre-IPO rights." They're not stocks, they're not options, but they can be extremely lucrative.
A crypto startup I know of is offering these special rights right now for about 71 cents each, but my friend slid me some projections showing these things hitting $7 in a year, meaning an investor who plowed $1,000 into these instruments could potentially reap $10,000 by the time it's all said and done.
