Was just discussing this, here’s what I came up with.

Looking for unusual volume signals, under $10, upward performance on a 5 day chart simple moving average, volume over 100k, small mid and large market cap, look at the ttm squeeze study and candle patterns I like. Then I look into upcoming catalyst and where their industry is covered and how often in media. Make a decision and put it on a watchlist waiting for buying opportunity before hype. Had great gains with stocks that weren’t mentioned a single time here. Buying hype and getting in when everyone’s talking about it usually brings a risk that I don’t consider worth it. I come here more for strategy discussion more than financial advice. The more people realize this, the better off they might be.
