Remember when your mom told you not to play in storms?

Well, she never traded the markets, because right now we're looking at a perfect storm of catalysts that could create some epic opportunities.

🎢 The Market's Wild Ride Ahead

The SPX is pricing in a massive 151-point move. That's not just big, that's "somebody better hold my coffee" big.

Why such a spicy number?

Here's what they don't teach you in trading school: During my thinkorswim days, I watched billions in options flow like a hawk.

What I discovered was better than finding your grandmother's secret cookie recipe.

There's this beautiful pattern that shows up 24 hours before potential breakouts.

Want to know what separates the traders who crush earnings season from those who get crushed?

It's understanding the precise timing of option premium changes and how to spot the "profit window" that opens right before tech earnings.

Let's ride it together.

To your success,

Don
