Some events have a propensity to lead to big moves in stocks. If you regularly study carefully the stocks making 100 plus moves in a year, you will find in 80-90% of the cases there was a event or series of events at the beginning of their big move. New information leads to big moves. If the new information or catalyst is powerful enough it leads to long duration rally. In most cases the information about the catalyst is in public domain or if you make some effort, you can find the reason for the big moves.
In the first volume of Market Wizard Paul Tudor Jones says:
We have tested every system under the sun and amazingly, we have found one that actually works well. It is a very good system, but for obvious reasons, I can't tell you much more about it.
The basic premise of the system is that market move sharply, when they move. If there is a sudden range expansion in a market that has been trading narrowly, human nature is to try to fade that price move. When you get a range expansion, the market is sending you a very loud, clear signal that the market is getting ready to move in the direction of that expansion.
Not every one day big move will result in long rally, but if a big move is accompanied with a clear , identifiable catalyst, it is the lowest risk entry in a stock likely to make a major move. Big moves after a event like earning also reduces our event risk. It gives us clear reason why to buy this stock and helps us form a judgment on how much this move is likely to last. It also indicates the length of catalyst. e.g. if a company has a a triple digit earnings acceleration along with sales acceleration and margin acceleration, and the stock which was not going up till that time makes a big move, post this surprise. Now we have a clear catalyst. We know strength of catalyst indicated by magnitude of the earnings growth or surprise and we also know this catalyst is valid till next earnings.
Now in real practice some catalyst are easy to understand and interpret. Some catalyst information is easily available and all market participants get it at same time, while some catalyst are difficult to understand and interpret like new product launch or analyst earnings upgrade or biotech drug news.

Sector relative strength is as powerful a catalyst as earnings, when it comes to big moves. Currently the energy sector is top ranked sector and many stocks in that sector are making big moves. Top 20 sectors stocks tend to make big move. In case of ROYL a small float of 4.8 million is another positive.

Dear Pradeep,
I have been a member of the Stock Bee Blog for over a year now. I have been trading stocks for the past 10 years and was a broker with TD Ameritrade. I can honestly say that I have learned more from you and your blog in the past year than I learned in the past 10 years trading on my own. I have subscribed to numerous newsletters, blogs, and trading services over the past 10 years. None of them even come close to the methods you have developed.
In my opinion, your methods are truly revolutionary! In fact, of all the trading methods I have ever tried, only your methods have been significantly profitable. Your customer service to your members is absolutely first class! You have responded to every single e-mail that I have ever sent you and have done so in a timely manner.
Becoming a Stock Bee member has been the best decision I have made in my trading career. Thank you Pradeep!”
