One of my very first students, Tim Bohen, has been using one specific trading tool every single day of 2026.
But he’s never shown it to anyone. Not even to the 140,000 people who follow his work as Lead Technical Trainer at StocksToTrade…
Bohen’s brand-new algorithm has a 74% historical win rate with 32% average gains.*
I’ve spent 25 years looking at trading systems. I’ve never seen one this simple to execute.
If you can count to $1, you can trade these setups. I’m not joking…
But they’re easy to miss (if you don’t know what to look for)…
It goes like this: when a stock crosses $1, something changes in the market structure.
Institutional money that was locked out below $1 can suddenly buy in. NASDAQ listing requirements kick in. Robinhood traders pile in on round numbers. Funds that were restricted can finally take positions.
Legendary trader Jesse Livermore figured this out over a century ago. He made $100 million (owned a yacht second only to J.P. Morgan’s) by trading round-number crossings.
His exact words? Buying at these levels is “almost certain to show you a profit.”
But Livermore was targeting $100, $200, $300 stocks.
Bohen took the same concept and applied it to $1 stocks. Smaller market caps, bigger % moves, and way more setups.
This tool has already led to 128% gains in one day.*
He calls it The Rubicon Effect…

The 5 Shifts That Happen When A Stock Crosses $1
You might gloss over a stock crossing $1, but that’s a huge mistake.
Bohen’s framework breaks down what actually changes the moment a stock crosses $1:
- Big money can buy it. Funds and institutions that had compliance-based restrictions on sub-dollar stocks are suddenly cleared to take a position.
- Broker restrictions ease. The extra regulatory burden tied to the penny stock classification goes away. The stock becomes easier to sell through mainstream channels.
- It shows up in places it didn’t before. Stock screeners, research platforms, and brokerage tools that filter out sub-dollar stocks will now surface it in results.
- Retail traders start watching. The Georgetown and SMU research isn’t abstract. There are real traders sitting with alerts set at the dollar level. Many of them are waiting for exactly this cross.
- Algorithms react. Quantitative trading systems designed to track compliance thresholds and price-level momentum will register the crossing and can add significant volume in the minutes and hours that follow.
None of this happens in stages. It happens together, all at once, in a stock that often doesn’t have the float to absorb that much sudden demand.
And the government just passed a rule change that could make these plays go parabolic … fast.
The Rule Change Sparking The Rubicon Effect
At the end of 2025, the SEC passed an amendment expanding tick-size rules at the $1 threshold. Most traders completely missed it.
But it created a 9,900% (!!) difference in how stocks trade once they cross that mark.
On top of that, the number of stocks trading under $1 has more than doubled since 2008, from 176 stocks to 443+.

More setups than one person can even track. And that’s where Bohen’s algorithm comes in…
How The Algorithm Works
Tim’s a computer guy first (started doing PC repair as a kid, built one of the first rural internet companies). So he approached it like an engineer.
The algorithm scans every stock approaching $1 from 4 AM to 8 PM ET. It filters through three proprietary data points. One he’s willing to share: minimum $1 million average daily volume (you need liquidity to get in and out).
Then it gives you a traffic light. Yellow means watch. Green means buy. Orange means hold. Red means exit.
That’s it. If you can drive a car, you can use this system.
And considering that:
- There are more sub-dollar stocks today than at almost any point in recent history…
- The new SEC rule has made the $1 crossing more significant from a market mechanics standpoint…
- The academic literature on round-number behavior keeps confirming what traders have known informally for a long time…
This catalyst is impossible to ignore.
And it’s already led to some face-ripping short-term gains…
3 Rubicon Trade Examples
BIO-Key International (NASDAQ: BKYI): The algorithm flagged it yellow in October while it traded sideways at 70-90 cents. Turned green when it crossed $1 on October 27. Shot to $2.28. 128% in one day.*
Avalon GloboCare (NASDAQ: ALBT): Flagged at $0.94 on February 27, 2026. Crossed $1 four hours later. Hit $1.59 by 3:30 PM. 69% return in under six hours.*
Trilogy Metals (NYSE: TMD): Green signal February 27 at $1. Doubled, then tripled over the next few days. Peaked at 377% in four days. $1,000 turned into $4,770.*
And as impressive as those gains are, that’s not even the craziest part…
During the late February selloff when the S&P 500 was tanking (and everyone was freaking out about Iran), the algorithm still identified 24%, 25%, and 40% single-day gains.*
Why I’m Telling You NOW
When this exact type of setup has appeared in the past, it’s led to positive gains 3 out of every 4 times.
That’s why Bohen and I are holding an emergency live briefing tonight…
To show you:
- How one government decision is flooding the market with a setup Tim Bohen is calling the “simplest for new traders.”
- Why gains of 377%, 955%, and even 2,373% have shown up in these exact types of setups in the past, and how you can position yourself for the next one.*
- Why Bohen says practically anyone can target these, even if you’ve never placed a trade before.
Plus, you’ll get a free trade idea from Bohen.
You can watch, learn the system, see the trade recommendation, and decide for yourself.
But I’m telling you: the SEC rule change, the doubling of sub-$1 stocks, the 74% win rate*, the simplicity of the signals.
In two decades of trading and teaching, I’ve never seen all these pieces line up like this at the same time.
Don’t be “that guy” who looks back a year from now and wishes they’d paid attention…
