- ð« Benâs Bullets â 3 big ideas for the market this week ð Dark Money Lesson: Stop Chasing, Start Trading⦠ð¤ I work hard to make sure you get the most out of my trade alerts⦠But today, Iâd like to address a common problem â students chasing my alerts! Listen⦠You should NEVER chase my plays or solely rely on any alert service. Thatâs not how you become a self-sufficient trader. Rather, itâs a recipe for disaster! So, how can you use my trade alerts productively, without chasing?! Keep reading and Iâll show you⦠My Alerts + Your Strategy The key is to marry my alerts with your personal trading strategy. Only follow my plays when youâve done your own due diligence and agree with my ideas. Then, if the play goes against you, youâll know exactly what went wrong instead of wondering what I was thinking⦠Hereâs the problem⦠As beneficial as they can be (when used correctly), sending alerts gives some students the idea that they can be lazy and simply copy trades. But replicating another traderâs strategy will never let you create an actual edge for yourself. To truly crush the markets, you must find what works for YOU. What works for me doesnât matter. What To Do If You Miss My Initial Alert⦠If you miss an initial move entirely, wait for pullbacks for other potential entries. Often, youâll spot other opportunities if youâre patient and keep a close watch. One way to potentially avoid bad entries is sending limit orders. If you use market orders, youâre just asking for trouble⦠This is especially true in the options market, where contract prices can move multiple % in seconds. Limit orders are far more conservative and well-suited to options traders because they can give you more control over where you enter the position. Moreover, if youâre using my alerts, limit orders can help you enter the position near where I did. My alerts always include what I paid in premiums. Thereâs no mystery. If youâre impatiently entering my trades after a big move has already happened, thatâs chasing. Donât do this! Important Points to Remember About Trade Alerts - The key to any good trade is maintaining a solid balance of risk/reward.
- Never chase alerts and always do your due diligence.
- Look at key support levels for entries and big resistance areas for exits.
- If you miss the initial move after my alert, decrease your position size (or pass on the play entirely).
- Use limit orders to help you manage your risk and get the entry price you want.
- Use stop losses to make sure your position doesnât drop much below breakeven. Now that you know how to properly utilize my trade alerts, letâs get to⦠ð°The Biggest Smart-Money Bets of the Weekð° ð´ $772k bullish bet on MSFT NOV 24 $380 calls @ $2.76 (seen on 11/20) Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) was all over the news over the weekend with headlines that the company [will hire]( ousted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a new role. Meanwhile, the market is reacting enthusiastically, with MSFT stock hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $377 yesterday in a âblue sky breakoutâ (a rally above the previous ATH). Now, one trader is betting BIG that MSFTâs strength continues throughout the week, buying $380 calls expiring this Friday, November 24. I followed this trader into this position, buying the same calls at $2.65. But, of course, Iâm not chasing! Iâm only buying these calls because the story makes sense to me and the contracts fit into my game plan! ð´ $2.73 million bullish bet on AAPL DEC 15 $192.50 calls @ $3.00 (seen on 11/20) A truly MASSIVE bet on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) hit the tape yesterday, with one trader expecting that the tech giant will trade higher than $192.50 in the next 30 days. AAPL is in a solid uptrend right now, so this isnât a contrarian bet. This trader is banking on AAPL continuing its uptrend into mid-December. The chart just broke through a crucial resistance level at $189.70 (where AAPL topped out previously on September 5). This move could give AAPL the âtechnical all-clearâ to trade higher. Watch this chart closely this week! ð« Benâs Bullets for the Week 3 interesting ideas Iâm keeping an eye on in the market this week: - TSLA NOV 24 $235 puts
