How to find securities to trade
Pre-market movers: 
While pre-market prices
are subject to change once the market opens, they are a great place to start. The
first thing you are going to want to look for is a high degree of volume, not just
for the day, but for the last 30 days.
Check social media: 
Social media is often a great place to get a sense of
impending news events before they happen. This, in turn will allow you to
determine how the market is going to move before it has a chance to get going
and let you get in on the ground floor of potential incoming changes.
Earnings calendar: 
A surefire way to see an increase in volatility is when
earnings are reported. You are never going to want to jump on an assumed trend
before they are released but shortly thereafter the trade gates will be thrown wide
open.
