Keeping money in the market today might feel like trying to hold water in your hands. No matter what you do, it slips through your fingers.<\/p>\n

But I expect the next 12 months to be the most successful of my career\u2026 and it can be your most successful trading year, too.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s because I don\u2019t buy and hold stocks. And I think most people should stop buying them as well.<\/p>\n

In fact, as of right now, I\u2019m not recommending any ETFs, bonds, mutual funds, and certainly not any cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m done with all of them, simply because there\u2019s a far, far better way to make money<\/a>in this market\u2026<\/p>\n

Take Advantage of the Volatility<\/h2>\n

In a market this wild, safety doesn\u2019t come from buying, holding, and hoping.<\/p>\n

It comes from striking fast, at the perfect moment.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what my style of trading is designed to do.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a reliable, repeatable three-step process that has the potential to deliver double- or triple-digit gains in as little as a few days, not years.<\/p>\n

It thrives on chaos. It takes advantage of it.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s something really strange going on in the market right now could make this strategy more effective than ever\u2026<\/p>\n

Take a look at this chart of the VIX. It measures volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

Put in simple terms, it shows how much traders expect stocks to go up or down over the next 30 days. You can see the biggest spikes in 2020, last August, and in April during the tariff flash crash.<\/p>\n

When things start to look crazy in the markets, the VIX goes up.<\/p>\n

The long-term average is roughly 19. But when the VIX goes crazy, the more opportunities we start to see.<\/p>\n

Like when the VIX hit 82 during COVID, that was the highest reading in history. Bigger than 9\/11. Bigger than the ’08 crash.<\/p>\n

Traders were predicting complete chaos in the markets. And they were right. The S&P dropped more than 30%.<\/p>\n

Most people felt sick.<\/p>\n

But with my strategy, that wasn\u2019t a crisis. It was an opportunity.<\/p>\n

In fact, in the aftermath of the crash, I uncovered 24 different chances to double your money or more across my services. Not in months or years, but in days.<\/p>\n

I did it with my three-step technique, and just a regular brokerage account.<\/p>\n

Because the VIX doesn\u2019t actually predict a crash. It predicts movement.<\/p>\n

And that movement can be either up OR down.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s key for my strategy…<\/p>\n

Knowing How to Use This Strategy<\/h2>\n

Because we don\u2019t need a crash to make money from it.<\/p>\n

All we need is movement. In either direction.<\/p>\n

And we use a very straightforward options trading strategy to profit.<\/p>\n

I can understand why people think options are overly risky, complicated\u2026 and maybe even dangerous.<\/p>\n

But what I\u2019m about to show you is something completely different, and it could change your whole financial future.<\/p>\n

First off, buying options is actually really easy. These days, brokerage apps have made it so simple.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as easy as buying a stock. You don\u2019t need trading experience, or special software, or anything fancy to do this. You don\u2019t need to be an accredited investor. Because when you trade options the right way, they reduce<\/em> your risk. Not increase it.<\/p>\n

Options were actually first created to protect you from the stock market.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, some people use options to gamble. They make wild bets based on guesswork. That might be why you\u2019ve heard options are risky.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not what I do\u2026 it\u2019s not what my readers do.<\/p>\n

We wait for very specific market conditions, and we aim for trades in which the potential reward far outweighs the risk.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how we stay in control. And that\u2019s how we can win even when the market is a mess.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is, options aren\u2019t overly risky. Guessing is risky. But my strategy removes the guesswork.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not gambling. It\u2019s precision. And precision puts you in control.<\/p>\n

Let me give you an example of a trade using my strategy that I recommended to my subscribers\u2026<\/p>\n

Trading Chaos<\/h2>\n

In November 2023, I spotted a pattern in Beyond (BYON), which owns the failed brand Bed Bath & Beyond.<\/p>\n

The stock spent the previous three months in a free fall. It plummeted from nearly $38 a share in August to about $16 a share.<\/p>\n

In other words, Beyond was completely out of its normal range.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice how the stock\u2019s price line was way below its 50-day moving average trendline (blue line) over that time.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

It was clear to me the stock was oversold and ready to snap higher.<\/p>\n

On November 21, I instructed readers to place a bullish trade on Beyond.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, the stock was up 40%. And due to how I structured that trade, my subscribers had the chance to close out a 329% gain in just 14 days.<\/p>\n

I’ve used this same approach to give my subscribers the chance to make…<\/p>\n
