Hey there, Power Profit Traders!
Stocks struggled for direction to start the week, with the Dow giving up a triple-digit lead to end lower on the day.
It was yet another microcosm of the tumultuous trading we’ve seen lately – and if you don’t know what you’re doing, it can eat you alive.
That’s why it’s CRITICAL that if you trade options, or WANT to trade options, that you attend today’s LIVE 11:30 a.m. ET Power Profit Trades session.
The theme of the month has been trading around volatility, and I’ve been discussing an options strategy that can profit from a big move in either direction: the straddle.
I’ll dive into that in today’s Power Profit Trades hour, and I’ll also go over the retail earnings reports on my radar this week, including Under Armour (UAA).
Plus, I’ll take you behind the curtain on the BRUTUS software I use to signal volatility trigger events for my Operation Surge Strike members.
While the rest of the market scrambled for cover to start 2022, this software has pinpointed winners on both sides of the aisle in 12 of the last 14 alerts, including the recent straddle on Blackstone (BX).
Not to mention, the Global Payments Network (GPN) put options alerted by my proprietary Surge Strike software ahead of the company’s earnings report just DOUBLED — beating the average 92.59% return over the past two earnings seasons…
BRUTUS indicated GPN shares tend to move lower into earnings, while implied volatility (IV) tends to surge, telling us it was a great time to strike on a bearish options trade… BEFORE the crowd jumped in.
Of course, BRUTUS also alerts bullish trade opportunities around trigger events.
In fact, amidst all the volatility lately, my software is cranking out signals like there’s no tomorrow; we just got three alerts on Monday alone – one bearish, one bullish, and one straddle.
A little something for everybody!
I’ll touch on those in my private trading room with Surge Strike members at 1 p.m. ET today.
In the meantime, make sure you’re in this room at 11:30 a.m. ET for today’s Power Profit Trades hour, and come with chart requests and questions!
I’ll be doing a LIVE Q&A session at some point in the session, and my broadcaster Eric and I love hearing from you in the chat.
See you soon!
