First and foremost, a huge shoutout to all of you who have been using my personal options scanner and alert strategies. You’re absolutely crushing it, and Shadow Trader is up about 60% for the week!

Keep sending in your testimonials because I love to see them!

Now let’s talk about the real standout performer today: Target. 

This stock has been on fire, rallying over $5 off the lows. We saw some action in the options market, particularly with the June $130 and $131 calls. 

Wondering what those little arrows mean and how they can help improve your trading? Get the details here!

We also saw a daily long signal on Target with my Master Indicator following weeks of short signals dating back to mid-May…

The stock moved about $5 off the lows, and those calls saw some big gains in a matter of minutes. It was a fantastic trade for those who were able to seize the opportunity!

  • 🐻 Significant bearish bet on Affirm. 
  • 📉 American Airlines with a big, bullish bet for over a half-million bucks.
  • 🚀 Target’s impressive rally and options activity.

P.S. 2 of My Favorite Market Events Are Happening This Weekend

I wish I could say I was more excited about earnings this week…

But I’m not… only a few companies are reporting…

The two that are worth looking for on the scanner are Adobe (ADBE) and Kroger (KR).

That being said, I’m excited that it’s quad witching, and a market holiday on Monday.

I don’t want to get into all the details as to why…

But if you are curious, I’m hosting a market briefing on Thursday afternoon.

It doesn’t cost a dime to attend. 

These two events only overlap about once a year…

And, historically speaking, they’ve shown some tremendous potential.

For example, last year – on this same weekend – we logged three winners.* 

  • One on AAPL for 60%.
  • One on ROKU for 45%.
  • One on Snapchat for 3%.


And this weekend, we’re going for another hat trick…

As most of you know, trading holiday weekends has kinda been my thing.

We have a 70% plus win rate dating all the way back to New Year’s Eve 2022.

So if you want to see what I got going on this holiday weekend.

Go Here Now!

*The profits and performance shown are not typical, we make no future earnings claims, and you may lose money. From 9/17/21 through 6/12/23, the average win rate is 72.7%. The average weighted rate of return on options trades was 9.5% over a 3 day average hold time…
