Timing Crypto Trades and Making the Calendar Work for You

Hey there, Power Profit Traders!

Thank you to everyone who attended – or tried to attend – one of my special cryptocurrency sessions yesterday!

I was humbled at the turnout, but because we had such high attendance, unfortunately technical issues made it difficult for some of you to tune in. We’re sorry about that.

But because of that – and because I received so many great questions I didn’t get to answer earlier – I’m doing something I RARELY do: I’m going LIVE on a Friday – at 9:30 a.m. ET today.

It’s because I don’t want anyone to miss out on this.

So join me where I’ll take a look under the hood (ahem) at what I’ve been calling the Crypto Trade of the Century

I’ll review what I’m seeing in the cryptocurrency world right now, and why now is a phenomenal time to dip your toes into the bustling world of coins. So I’ll see you right here at the opening bell today!

But not only is timing critical to success in the crypto sphere – it’s critical to all aspects of the trading game.

If you don’t time your entries and exits correctly, you’re not gonna make money – and that’s what we’re all here to do, right?

One way I find intriguing entry points for my positions is by taking a look BACK in time. More specifically, you all know that I love PATTERNS… and that includes seasonal patterns on the calendar.

After all, they say history is bound to repeat itself, so when I see that a stock has made a noteworthy move around this same time of year for nearly a decade… well, that’s something to pay attention to.

So in today’s Power Profit Trades newsletter, I want to review a trade that I have had on the books for the past few months that is coming closer to wrapping up for a nice gain.

And because it illustrates the power of time in a longer-term options trade, I want to break it down for you right here.

Longer-Term Money Generator by the Calendar

I viewed the aforementioned trade as having relatively low risk and high payout potential in one of the biggest and most followed global consumer products companies.

See, I have a variety of trading mechanisms for subscribers. Some are set up for hyper-quick trades on leading liquid stocks, as can be found in my Money Hour – positions that are often closed within a couple hours.

Earlier this week, in fact, I provided four Money Hour option trades on different stocks – all set to wrap up in the morning with the objective of quick gains.

But not everyone can or wants to trade in a matter of an hour or so. Many want or need the ability to place their trades and have some breathing room to let them work a few days (or longer).

This is where Money Calendar Pro comes in – another part of my TG Suite app tools, just like Microcurrency Trader (where I’m playing the Crypto Trade of the Century I’ll tell you about at 9:30 a.m.)


Money Calendar Pro generates trades that range in time from days or weeks… or sometimes, if there is a decent, risk-controlled opportunity to make potentially substantial returns, months.

Take, for example, my trade on Coca-Cola (KO), which is nearly a year in the making, and teed up for a profit that dwarfs the general stock market’s return, as measured by the S&P 500 Index (SPX).

I’ll Have a Smile and a Coke – With More Money in My Pocket

Coke is an iconic global brand based in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s a storied company that’s become a global leader in fizzy drinks – and later in alternative products, including highly in-demand bottled water, juices, and energy drinks.

With its renewed product and sales efforts, revenues are back on the ascent. Revenue over the recent quarters of 2021 has been gaining by strong double-digits as the company gets its mojo back.

I have been following Coke and its big resurgence, and saw opportunities in January 2021.

But I’m not in the business of just buying and holding a cash stock. I can do much better.

So, I put my research and analysis skills to work and came up with a longer-term option strategy for Coke that I saw as having the potential to give me bang for my buck without assuming the risk.

The Better Trade to Make for Coke

On Jan. 4, I initiated a bullish call debit spread trade on KO that, like the other trades for Money Calendar Pro, was aimed at a relatively low cost of entry and potentially healthy rewards.

But UNlike most other trades, the call options had quite a bit of shelf life – not expiring until the following January 2022.

This set up a trade that, as of last night, was queued up for a nice Money Calendar Pro profit in the making – one that handily exceeds the year-to-date gain on KO shares themselves. (For more info on this strategy, call our VIP Team at 1-888-384-8339!)

The Money Calendar Pro Trade Explained Further

Our Money Calendar Pro trade consisted of buying to open a long-term call on KO, at a strike price that was near the current market price for the stock.

But to help reduce the cost of entry – because remember, I was paying for time value – I also sold to open a call option at a higher, out-of-the-money strike.

The credit received from the sold call helped to offset the cost of the bought call, and the initial net debit represented my maximum risk on the call debit spread.

This spread is an alternate way to bet bullishly on a stock or ETF, vs. buying call options or the shares outright.

The flip side of that is, the sold call also caps the profit potential on the trade – which if you give yourself a wide enough ceiling, could still be generous at max payout.

Here’s How the Options Have Been Trading

I recommended buying the $50-strike KO call expiring January 2022, and selling the $55-strike call in the same series.

Here’s how the options have been trading from Jan. 4 until Dec. 9.

The net of the two sides of the Coke call spread trade is for a calculated gain of 49.80%, based on Bloomberg’s reporting of trading for both options, from Jan. 4 to Dec. 9.

Now that should put a smile on the faces of Money Calendar Pro subscribers as they sip one of Coke’s iconic beverages.

The lesson here is that trades come in all flavors.

There are trades for short-term objectives for active traders, and there are longer-term trades for those that don’t want to be glued to their accounts on any given day. Both kinds come with opportunities for profits.

And we haven’t even got to the CRYPTO TRADERS, whom I will be addressing and answering questions right here at 9:30 a.m. ET!

See you in the room,
