| DAILY ISSUE In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live Markets are pulling back a bit this morning, and honestly—it feels like we’re right back in wait-and-see mode. After last week’s push, the indexes look like they’re catching their breath, and that’s fine by me. These are the moments when we sharpen our edge, watch volatility shift, and prepare to strike. Because while the broad market hesitates, there’s serious movement happening under the surface—and that’s exactly what we’ll dig into today. One area I’m laser-focused on right now: refiners. The crack spread—which is basically the profit margin refiners earn turning crude into gasoline and diesel—has surged over 30% since mid-March. That kind of divergence doesn’t last forever. Today we’re going to look at how to take advantage of it—plus earnings on the horizon and what setups I’m watching closely. Join me today for Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST where I’ll show you how when the indexes are taking a breather, that just means more time for us to find where the real money’s moving. And right now, the edges are showing up in places most traders aren’t even looking. See you there. 
 | Chart of the Day: Crack Spread Opportunity | 
Take a good look here at this chart. The yellow line represents the crack spread. And you can see here how it’s become increasingly disconnected from names like DINO and VLO. This creates opportunity for creative traders. When margins are expanding and the equities haven’t caught up, we’ve got a window to strike. This is the exact kind of setup I love to track… because when the market catches on, the move can be fast and aggressive. Keep this on your radar. | Recommended Link | | | | Forget trade wars and President Trump’s rapid-fire political battles. Nothing will impact your future like what’s coming in AI.

I love seeing our members crush it. Whether it's locking in 245% on PINS, flipping GSL calls for a 1-day win, or turning $0.87 into $3 on ZIM — it’s a beautiful thing. That’s what happens when you follow a plan and focus on what the market’s actually giving you: volatility. This is why I always go back to setups around companies set to report earnings. The volatility that builds around these events is real, measurable, and most importantly — it’s tradable. We’ve been leaning into this playbook for a while now, and it’s been one of the most consistent edges in our arsenal. So far in 2025, while the S&P 500 just yesterday poked its head above breakeven (+0.07%). Over that same period, our Earnings Advantage strategy grabbed that volatility by the tail and racked up an average return of 35.7% including all winners and losers. Not bad for a market that’s been going nowhere. My strategy is designed to spot the setups ahead of earnings, when the real opportunity is still on the table. If you’ve been watching these wins roll in and wondering how we keep catching them before the big moves happen — follow this link to find out all about Earnings Advantage.
