| DAILY ISSUE In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live One question is dominating Wall Street this week… Will this be the most volatile earnings season ever? Investors are gearing up for a series of big earnings announcements that will test the strength of a stock market beset by tariff uncertainty and looming recession fears. Based on the wave of investors heading for the exits right now, the markets are all but giving us an emphatic yes. Look, the carnage simply isn’t letting up from March. And April is already unleashing a fresh nightmare scenario for investors. The Dow Jones index lost 4,000 points in just under 48 hours last week – its first back-to-back 1,500+ point loss in history. And that follows March’s big fire sale. That month's sell-off triggered one of the worst extended declines in history as the Dow and every other major index plummeted into the red. Whether a fresh round of earnings will further destabilize the market remains an open question. But not everything is uncertainty and doom… In situations like these, we lean on the fundamentals of our Masters in Trading playbook. And a big part of our strategy is never adding more risk than necessary. Luckily, as options traders, we simply don’t have to… Institutional traders are quietly placing their bets on the stock market right now. Yesterday, I pointed out one stock making huge moves on over $5 million in call volume. And that’s not the only under-the-radar stock flashing BUY signals. My Unusual Options Activity (UOA) Scanner is tipping off a whole lot of smart money bets this week. Now I don’t recommend gaining exposure to every stock that tips my scanner. But these market-making options plays are essential for us. They're our strongest leads in finding the kind of fixed-risk setups that can keep our capital at work. Join me for today’s Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST, where I’ll explain our approach to fixed-risk trading as volatility remains elevated. We’ll take a deep dive into hedges, straddles, and strangles as we look to benefit from market volatility.

The hits keep coming this week… Yesterday, I alerted my Advanced Notice readers to close out half of their call options in Alignment Healthcare (ALHC) for a huge, triple-digit gain. And I’m happy to see so many of you were able to roll out of your positions for similar gains over the last two days. Readers like DonOgrinch and Eck_Z locked in their own triple-digit returns after holding their positions for just under a month. Successful trades like these demonstrate why it’s so important for us to keep our capital at work as market volatility heats up. Whether bullish or bearish, all this market volatility is an options traders’ playground. It pays to keep skin in the game… And with an upcoming round of earnings-based trades on deck, we’ll keep our exposure to the market’s big moves while limiting our risk.
