Trade Alerts
Trade alerts provide the active investor an alert when a specific event occurs. Trading alerts are a basic component of getting real-time notifications on your phone or email when a new trade is posted.
This event could be based on a number of factors ranging from a specific price target, volatility spikes, technical indicator, news event or uncovered research we think we can exploit.
At its core, trade alerts provide the means for a trader to be notified when a specific event occurs so the trader can take some sort of action. This action could be in the form of placing a trade or watching the trading activity of a stock more intently.

Executive & Ultra Trade
July 11, 2025 | Executive Ultra
Investors remain laser-focused on artificial intelligence stocks, and with good reason. After a steep selloff triggered by the “Liberation Day” tariff announcements back in early April, many AI-related names have made a powerful comeback. Leading the charge is Nvidia (NVDA), which has surged more than 70% from its April 4 low.
Not far ...
Closing IBM for a 1-Day 25% Return
July 10, 2025 | Executive
Yesterday, we noted that IBM had slightly broken support and appeared ready to roll over, prompting us to initiate a put position. That move played out exactly as anticipated, with shares sliding further today.
With ongoing tariff concerns, investors are reducing exposure ahead of the company’s upcoming earnings report later this month. Rather than overstay the ...
Support is Breaking
July 9, 2025 | Executive
The market opened on a strong note this morning, with early gains fueled by renewed enthusiasm around trade developments and continued strength in mega-cap tech stocks.
Investors initially responded positively to news of fresh tariff measures, interpreting them as a sign of economic assertiveness. That sentiment helped lift the S&P 500 and Nasdaq at ...
Closing TQQQ for a -14% Return
July 9, 2025 | Executive
When President Donald Trump initiated the recent round of tariff escalations back in April, the market responded with sharp declines. Unfortunately, several of our long call positions were caught in the broader sell-off, leading to initial losses.
However, rather than joining the panic, we took a contrarian approach. While the majority of investors were selling into ...
Closing QBTS for a 13-Day 25% Return
July 7, 2025 | Executive
QBTS just hit a new swing high for the year before retreating slightly.
We’re locking in a solid 25% profit on this 13-day trade, in case this marks a short-term peak. If market volatility picks up in the coming weeks, we’ll be watching closely for another opportunity to re-enter.
Closing UPRO for a 3-Day 44% Return
June 27, 2025 | Executive
We entered a position in UPRO, the 3x leveraged ETF tracking the S&P 500, on Tuesday, just before the market surged again. At the time, momentum suggested another leg higher to close out the week, and we wanted to position ourselves ahead of the crowd.
That scenario played out exactly as anticipated. However, with several stocks ...
2 New Executive Trades
June 24, 2025 | Executive
The market’s reaction to the Iran bombing over the weekend was surprisingly calm, a signal that’s easy to overlook, but potentially powerful. Rather than triggering a panic sell-off, stocks have remained resilient, hinting that we could be on the verge of a breakout.
That’s why we moved into call options yesterday, anticipating a quick ...
Before the Crowd
June 23, 2025 | Executive
The bombing of Iran over the weekend hasn’t resulted in as much panic as one might have expected. Stocks haven’t done much of late, but have worked off technically overbought conditions and I want to begin adding to our positions. While we can certainly see more volatility entering an important time cycle over the next ...
Closing 2 Trades for a Quick Profit
June 5, 2025 | Executive
There’s a good chance we’ll see stocks continue to rise into next week, but with the job report coming out tomorrow, I’d rather take a cautious approach.
We entered trades in both SOXL and TNA last week, and so far they’ve moved in our favor. At this point, I’d prefer to lock in gains before any ...
A Rare Setup Triggered
June 4, 2025 | Executive
After a steep drop, price action is showing clear signs of reversal right at a major support level. Even more compelling, a bullish divergence has emerged and a key price gap has now been filled, signaling that downside momentum may be exhausted.
Volatility is still elevated, but we’ve found a way to take ...

Earlier in the month we closed out these trades wth excellent results, so let’s keep the momentum going.

Closing GLD for a 6-Day 45% Return
May 21, 2025 | Executive
Gold has had a nice run over the last week, but it appears momentum is fading. We talked about this in this morning’s market update, laying out two different scenarios for the future of gold over the next couple weeks.
With volume lightning up, and shares appearing to be unable to break resistance, the more likely ...
Expiration Friday
May 16, 2025 | Executive
It’s expiration Friday, which means it’s time for our NOV Inc. (NOV) options to expire.
There’s nothing you need to do with the current position. Both options are in the money and will be automatically exercised, resulting in simultaneous buying and selling of shares, leaving you flat.
If you were assigned on the short puts, you’d ...

Closing AMD for a 106-Day 78% Return
June 17, 2025 | Ultra
Shares of AMD have surged since we opened our position. As noted in this morning’s market update, the stock has reached the top of its impulse wave, and a corrective phase now appears likely, especially with this week’s Fed meeting aligning closely with that timing.

Closing SPY for a 9-Day 60% Return
May 23, 2025 | Ultra
The setup heading into the long weekend doesn’t look favorable. There’s a strong potential for volatility when markets reopen on Tuesday, especially considering the unpredictability that often accompanies headlines involving President Donald Trump.

Time to Hedge the Ultra Portfolio
May 14, 2025 | Ultra
It may be time to prepare for the next downward move.

Too Cheap to Ignore
April 2, 2025 | Ultra
If the employment reports set to be released tomorrow and Friday indicate further weakening in the job market—reinforcing last week’s concerns about declining job security—stocks may extend their downward trend. Additionally, a sharp decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield would likely follow, reflecting increased recession risks.
Conversely, if the data exceeds expectations, market ...
Adjusting URNM

Uranium has had a strong couple of weeks. While spot uranium prices have declined over the past year, the more crucial long-term contract prices have edged higher.
