The stocks discussed provide ample trading opportunities throughout the week.

Here is a summary list of the best U.S. day trading stocks for the week of June 23, 2025, based on daily average movement and high volume. Stock charts and more details are provided below the table.
Learn how to day trade these stocks, grabbing several percent in a few minutes.
30 minutes per day is all you need (trade longer if you wish).
The Price Action Stock Day Trading Course shows you how to do it.
The following list is a sample of the day trading stocks that tend to move more than 5% per day (long-term average movement). This means you don’t need to look around every morning for something new to trade. You know that these stocks are likely to move big each day.
These stocks also have high daily average volume.
Pick one to four of these stocks and trade them all week.
The high-percentage movers tend to be lower-priced stocks. The list below includes stocks between $6 and $135 (with the occasional exception).
The 5-minute charts are provided by TradingView.
Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS): Average Day Range (30) is 12.89% and Average Volume (30) is 65 million.
Average Day Range % only averages the difference between daily highs and lows, no gaps. This statistic is key for day traders since it’s only the intraday movement most day traders are interested in. This statistic reveals the typical distance between a high point in the day and a low point.
Quantum Computing (QUBT): Average Day Range (30) is 12.5% and Average Volume (30) is 39 million.
Pony AI (PONY): Average Day Range (30) is 12.37% and Average Volume (30) is 14 million. Currently, volume is very elevated from typical. It could revert to lower volume at any time.
D-Wave Quantum (QBTS): Average Day Range (30) is 11.44% and Average Volume (30) is 100 million.
Oklo (OKLO): Average Day Range (30) is 11.17% and Average Volume (30) is 25 million.
TMC the Metals Company (TMC): Average Day Range (30) is 11.06% and Average Volume (30) is 11 million.
Nuscale Power (SMR): Average Day Range (30) is 10.11% and Average Volume (30) is 16 million.
Applied Digital (APLD): Average Day Range (30) is 10.11% and Average Volume (30) is 69 million.
The following list is a sample of the day trading stocks that tend to move more than $2 per day, but that are priced near $500 or below. They must also move at least 2% intraday (between daily high and low) on average. Pick one to four and trade them all week.
They are ranked by average day range % (dollar movement divided by stock price).
Super Micro Computer (SMCI): Intraday Range (30) is $2.25 and Average Volume (30) is 46 million.
Robinhood Markets (HOOD): Intraday Range (30) is $3.29 and Average Volume (30) is 37 million.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR): Intraday Range (30) is $5.92 and Average Volume (30) is 87 million.
Tesla Inc. (TSLA): Intraday Range (30) is $15.45 and Average Volume (30) is 116 million.

Alphabet (GOOGL): Intraday Range (30) is $3.98 and Average Volume (30) is 40 million.
Learn how to trade these stocks, grabbing several percent in a few minutes. Trade for 15-30 minutes per day (trade longer if you wish). The Price Action Stock Day Trading Course shows you how to do it.
This section is for stocks priced between $20 and $45 with at least 30 million in daily average volume.
If I don’t like how other stocks are moving, because spreads are too large, or the movement is choppy, I will often trade one of these for multiple weeks.
IONQ (IONQ): Intraday Range (30) is 9.06% and Average Volume (30) is 26 million.
Rocket Lab (RKLB): Intraday Range (30) is 6.72% and Average Volume (30) is 21 million.

I am new to swing trading and I check your site every Monday morning for the short-list of best day trade stocks. I use Think or Swim from Charles Schwab and I am trying to create a simple scan to return the same results as your weekly best day trading stocks list. Any advice on the parameters?
The criteria are discussed here: https://tradethatswing.com/how-to-find-day-trading-stocks-that-are-consistent-high-percentage-movers/
Can up the volume, since there tend to be lots of stocks with big volume and big volatility these days.
Hi Cory,
For Canadians, would it be cheaper to day trade stocks or Forex using your strategies? (Taking into account commissions, transaction fees, taxes, etc.) Which one is cheaper for you currently?
Thanks!
Both are really cheap. A forex broker like FXCC offers tiny spreads with zero commissions on EURUSD, and Interactive Brokers charges small commissions on stocks (but I don’t love their execution), National Bank is commission free (haven’t used, may lack features).
So both are fine for Canadians. Go with the one you are most interested in. That is important. You pay taxes on what you make regardless (or should, what you actually do is up to you).
Thanks!
I just found you. I became a day trader of late. Totally shifted from long term trades (which in my estimation is a loser’s bet) to day trading. I don’t even want to hold past closing. I will use your data on Monday keeping in mind the political aspect of market manipulation. Cory, we are all business people and we do things for profit. You offer good screens here. How do you make money other than trading? Is your business not only providing good info but for those who wish to consult with you the real upside? If so, I might be interested consulting with you.
Thank you. I’ll give your recommendations a go on Monday.
In addition to my trading, this website offers individualized coaching and trading courses for a fee. I am also frequently asked to consult/freelance for other financial companies.
Thank for posting this information each week.
I’m new at this, so I could be mistaken. I tried to put a link to the chart’s screenshot, but it doesn’t seem to be allowed.
You mention COIN for the week of 1/20/2025. I’d like to point out that this stock appears to be a post Cup & Handle setup. According to the strategy, there could be a 75% upside from the breakout. There is 30% remaining. The MACD crossed the signal on the 16th and there is MACD divergence on the daily & strong divergence on the 4 hour.
This can only be day traded in my opinion. You may want to monitor this closely. Considering the new US administration and their supposedly pro-crypto stance, this may see some action this week.
I really need to learn how to find these patterns. If I only could have found it before the breakout.
Live long and profit! \//
I’m sorry, you didn’t mention COIN. Not sure why I thought you did. In any event, I think the recommendation is still valid.
This is a day trading article. Day trading is the only thing being considered.
I am not sure what strategy you are referring to. There is no mention of MACD and swing trading targets etc. in the article or the website.
And if you want to post a chart, you can use a link. On TradingView, click the camera in the upper right corner and click Copy Link. That will take a screenshot which can be shared via link. Paste the link into a comment.
Hello,
Some or all of the stocks on this list don’t trade around their average volume everyday. Sometimes the volume is quite lower than average. E.g avg vol is 25 million but only traded 6 million into the afternoon. How do you recommend trading these stocks with lower than average volume? I had read that when a stock is trading lower than avg volume, it’s being dominated by institutional traders and it’s best to stay away from them. Please advise. Thanks!
I missed this comment. Sorry for the late reply.
Well, the stock would need to be moving well to create quality day trading setups. If it isn’t moving well (lots of momentum intraday) then it is stayed away from.
This is just a list of stocks. Still need quality setups within them to actually take a trade.
So long ago, when did CLSK begin ranking on your list ?
Late 2023.
I have been trading using Wealthsimple for the past few years in both US stocks and Canadian stocks. I keep history of my stocks every week but trade daily depending on the price of each stock, the usual rule sell high and buy low. So far have been successful in my trade because I made sure my stocks pay good dividends and excellent financial ratios. For US and Canadian stocks I trade from 11:30-2:00 pm. By 2 pm I am done with US stocks while I continue with my Canadian stocks until 3:30 pm. I rely heavily on my notes of what I sold and bought and use the graph of each stock before I do the trade.
My question. Am I doing my trade correctly and you give suggestions?
Thank you.
If it works for you, keep going.
I personally like to keep refining. Finding where I can reduce risk or increase profits. How I can improve on my entries. What situations tend to result in more losses (and avoiding trading in those situations) and noting what situations tend to produce more wins (capitalizing more on those). This is done by reviewing our trades.
Hi Tony,
I share the exact same situation as yours in my plan. I haven’t started yet but willing to. I have very basic knowledge of shares and trading. Internet is overloaded with related information and mainly hard to figure the legit ones. Can you please help me just to start? Thanks for your time.
How in the world did you suggest Hut 8? I am losing money as it keeps crashing down and now I see that it was accused of insider trading and facing a lot of lawsuits. It’s been estimated to go down to $8 from an analysis 7 months ago 🤦♀️
Nowhere does it say to buy these stocks (or hold them). They are stocks that have big movement, good for day trading. Getting in and out. Going long or short with the intraday trends.
Trade the intraday trends. This is a “day trading stocks” article.
Thanks… everyone deserves a holiday!!! HM
Hi…this is my first week….when is the weekly list posted? Thanks
Usually updated before the Monday open (on the weekend). If it doesn’t get updated on a given week it is because I am on holidays.
Thank You for providing this every week. we rely on it
Hi Cory
What platform do you recommend for day trading? setting up hot keys etc
Thanks
Renil George
That depends. Location matters, since each country could have have different brokers and possibly different platforms.
Interactive Brokers, the Trader Workstation, is fine for most countries. Very customizable. Which is good, but generally a bit cumbersome to set up. The Desktop platform, may be easier to navigate.
Just want to say thanks for you website and info Cory. It’s pretty epic. I am a newbie, but have been “playing” with a few things to work out what type of trading interests me. So far the active day trading type model seems to suit me well as I like the feeling of getting something done…and at the same time getting it done in a short time period. I’ve setup TradingView and am doing practice trading on historical data using your day trading method. I will get purchase your day trading course soon as well and as I progress most likely book a session with you.
Sounds good. Best wishes on your journey.
Hey Cory, thanks for the content on your website. It’s very valuable. I have been day trading a little to test a few strategies and see if I enjoy it. I find the 1 minute time setting fun and have been playing with Meme coins in Crypto. This is however the wild west with scams all over the place so looking to move into more legitimate stocks etc. I was trying to find the best day trading stocks with enough price variation when I came across your information. My timezone makes it tricky to trade US stocks…are you aware of where which alternative markets I could checkout where stocks might have similar price action to those in the US market? Many Thanks in advance. I have used chat GPT to create a chart for me off all markets and sync up against my timezone standard and daylight savings. Happy to share with you and/or input. Thanks
Probably London would the next one to check out. Maybe Germany or Australia.
Those might align with your time frame more.
Then could try to find a scanner that will find the more volatile stocks on these exchanges, also with good volume.
Hi Cory,
first of all, many thanks for your content, highly highly appreciated!
I have a question, maybe it finds you – I’m trading from Germany in EUR, but obviously many good swing trade opportunities occur in US stocks.
Should I look for the trade triggers on the original exchanges (NYSE etc.) in USD and if they occur, just execute on my local EUR exchanges or should I look for the trigger to occur on my local exchange (stock in EUR) as well?
Many thanks and best regards
Nils
If you are placing trading on your local market, I would just watch that and trade the triggers on that.
Markets are constantly factoring in exchange rates when different currencies are used, so I would only look at the charts you are actually trading and take trades on those.
At least that is how I would do it. Of course you can see what works best for you.

Hi Cory, how are you sir? I talked to many years ago when I was first Introduced to the FX market. I’m going on almost 6 years and not happy with where I’m at with my trading. Do you have an email I can send your a message?
Thank you Cory! Look forward to talking to you! Hope you and your family are all well. Happy New Year as well!

Cory, several people are asking questions regarding day trading stocks. It seems a course in Day Trading Stocks would be beneficial for many traders wanting to Day Trade Stocks, any plans to offer a course for day trading stocks?
Thanks Irv
I do plan on releasing one.
Haven’t started on it yet.
My best guess is it will come out in winter when I have more time (no golf!).
Thats sounds good, should be a lot of interest for it.
Thanks Irv
Hello Cory, these last two years were terrible and brought me a lot of pain as I have had to deal with a lot of personal tragedies in my family and other hardships but somehow I try to keep on going.
Therefore, your help/input would mean the world to me. I have a $1000 I can invest in stocks and decided to put it into $DIDI. Yesterday I started with $780, turned it quickly into $1070 but cashed out at $1002 only to regret having missed the quick run from $3.20 to $4.20.
I know there is risk involved but I am willing to take it. My goal is to quickly turn this $1000 into several thousand and I feel $DIDI is my best shot to accomplish that.
1.) How exactly would you trade this stock in order to maximize gains?
2.) Naturally, there will be pullbacks, but would you say it is best to keep and one should expect the stock to keep going up throughout the day assuming the monster volume stays and no bad news at the current price level of $4?
3.) What exactly would you call a stock like $DIDI (meme stock? monster volume stock? high volatility stock? etc). I mean what search term would you put into google search for best results on how to day trade stocks like $DIDI for maximum profits? ( is it a “breakout and run” stock? Would it be best to put in google how to trade meme stocks with monster volume and volatility?)
I have countless of possibilities in mind but I am not good with exact search terms and definitions and it drives me mad.
What search term would you say would give me the best results with what I am looking for concerning $DIDI? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance for your input. It means the world to me as I am trying to research as much as possible this weekend.
Kind regards,
Sara
Sorry to hear about the troubles.
Unfortunately, this essentially equates to gambling. Which you may ok with, but I trade in a very risk-controlled way.
Question 1: this is basically what this site is about. It takes months to get good at a method and learn to maximize gains (while most importantly controlling risk). Anything else is just pure luck.
Question 2: I don’t know if a stock will go higher or not. For my methods, I don’t need to know. A good method keeps you in as it rises and then you get as it starts dropping. There are examples of this near the top of the page on the examples (twitter posts).
I don’t know what DIDI does. Probably search “how to trade cheap volatile stocks” or something like that. That search will actually produce a number of articles by me on various sites, since I like to trade volatile stocks. You can get ideas on how to trade from this page, or from those articles.
Unless a precise method is used, which generally takes months to get good at implementing, trading this stock or any other is gambling. The work comes first then the trading.
I hope it goes well. If you make some money, without really knowing what to do, take it and run. Trade for too long without a sound strategy it will disappear quickly.
Hello Cory,
I have been focused on day trading the eurusd and have been making some steady gains over the past months. I read your article on how to day trade stocks and I would like to give it a short. I am totally new to stocks. I would appreciate a recommendation for a broker. I live in Koforidua, Ghana.
IF Interactive Brokers is available in your area, I would go with them. They service traders all over the world.
It looks like they are available in Ghana.

Hi Cory, I absolutely love your content and follow it daily and weekly. The best one for me is the overall health weekly overview. I do have a question though about daytrading as I would like to test it out while markets are not in an up trend which is you point out in a very clear fashion each week is the best time to be doing long oriented swing trades. I’m on the West Coast and do I have to get up so early for the start of the market for effective day trading on some of the names that you point out that have high intraday volatility? Ideally I could start at perhaps 8 AM Pacific which would be 11 Eastern or something more reasonable. Do you think that’s at all possible? Or am I just dead in the water with trying to also get some sleep and day trade effectively during the best time? What do you think? Thanks for the help. Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback.
It’s possible, but the moves are typically going to be a lot smaller during that time, on average, and for a couple hours after. Sometimes stocks move a little more again after the NYSE lunch hour 1pm EST).
When I used to trade all day, about 80% of my daily average profit was made in the first hour.
But you can still trade trends during the day,
I just personally find it a little more difficult because the price tends to get a bit more choppy.
But it is possible. Best place to start is by going through some of the charts and seeing how you might trade them around them that time of day.
Ok great thanks I will do that and perhaps trial & error. Is there a course or post you have for day trading specific guidance?
A basic trending strategy is covered here: https://tradethatswing.com/how-to-day-trade-stocks-with-a-trend-strategy-entries-exits-and-risk-management/
And everything is based on price action:
https://tradethatswing.com/how-to-spot-trends-and-trend-reversals-using-price-action/
And when I day trading stocks, I will often post examples of what I am doing on Twitter. Example.
https://twitter.com/corymitc/status/1501214638075101184/photo/1
The aggressive trailing stop loss is something I use often while day trading

Hi Cory
Curious what you do in this situation:
Stock is in a larger daily downtrend and you want to daytrade it short. After a few short trades in the morning session, the up-tick rule is triggered and you can’t enter any new short positions for the next 48 hours.
I can only guess that a person should move on and ignore this stock until the daily chart presents opportunity again. Basically – go scan for another stock.
Your thoughts?
In any situation where I can short at the price I want, when I want, I trade something else.
This includes no short shares being available as well.
Hi Cory, do you have the equivalent list for Canadian stocks in an uptrend for the week of March 7?
I will add a list on Canada today.
Cheers
Added, near the bottom of the page.
Cheers
Good piece of work! Thank you.
Hi Cory, the majority if your suggested daytrade stocks are in downtrends. How can i get access to stocks with the same criteria, but in uptrends.
Regards, Hennie
For day trading, I am willing to trade in both directions.
But if you only want uptrends, you would need to add in additional criteria such as the stock being above moving averages: 200-day for long-term uptrend, and 50 and 30 or 20-day MA for short-term uptrend.
Are used my savings of 10 grand to invest in stocks on Robin Hood. I did really well at first I was up 163%. I was up $17,000. The last month I’ve been getting killed and I’m down , &11,200. I’ve got $5,890.00 left. I need help.
