In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live If you’ve spent any amount of time with me watching Masters in Trading Live, you know I don’t waste time chasing headlines. Most traders do. They react to stories. They trade off instincts. They’re afraid of missing out on the next big thing. They frame every move in terms of “why” instead of “what.” But professionals don’t trade that way. While headlines may create volatility, markets themselves run on cold, hard math — hedging pressure, volatility expectations, liquidity flows, and institutional positioning. When you understand what the market expects, how often price stays inside those expectations, and how market makers hedge around those zones, you’re not trading guesses anymore. This is the foundation of everything I teach. It’s why we’re constantly on the hunt for Unusual Options Activity (UOA). And it’s why we watch the Expected Move like a hawk. The expected move is one of the simplest, most powerful pieces of objective market data available. It looks like two lines on a chart, but those lines carry a tremendous amount of information. They tell you, in plain mathematical terms, how far the options market expects a stock or ETF to move over a defined period. Option prices tell us how “wiggly” traders think a stock will be in the future. We call that wiggle, volatility. Professionals then convert that yearly volatility into a weekly or monthly number using a simple math shortcut. Once we know how big the volatility is, we can use it and the current stock price to create our expected range. And that range is what hands us the power to read markets as easily as institutional traders do. In today’s episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST, I’m laying out the fundamentals of the Expected Move – and highlighting how I use it to find the most unusual options trades changing hands in the broader market. You won’t want to miss this one! P.S. Louis Navellier, Eric Fry, and Luke Lango are about to go live with one of the biggest discoveries they’ve ever made. They say America is entering a new “American Dream 2.0” era driven by massive domestic reinvestment, reshoring, AI infrastructure, and a government-backed industrial reboot. And while most might think the big winners will be in massive tech companies – they’re wrong. An $11.3 trillion economic shift begins on January 2. And only a handful of early investors will be able to get into position. It’s all about the trillions from corporations, foreign governments, and Washington flowing into small, overlooked U.S. suppliers — the “picks and shovels” behind AI, automation, nuclear power, and semiconductor buildouts. The team has united behind a handful of small U.S. companies positioned at the center of AI infrastructure, domestic re-industrialization, rare earths, nuclear power, robotics, and next-generation energy. And on Monday, December 8th, they’re revealing these key picks exclusively in their American Dream 2.0. Summit. You can click here to sign up and gain access to this special event.
