Andrew Rader, a low float momentum trader, makes a case that surprises people: many of the best traders cut their teeth on tiny, wildly volatile small caps. The reason is reps. Frequency of opportunity trains the brain like a muscle, and large caps just do not hand you three to five setups a day the way low floats do.
He explains why these names move on pure emotion and positioning, not fundamentals, how in-theme runners get going, and the wilder side, from a shoe company reinventing itself as an AI data center to dilution events dressed up in flashy PR. The catch is always liquidity, which is why the path eventually leads back to large cap options.
