“So far in 2026, we’ve had a 71% win rate using this strategy.”

Bryan Bottarelli, Co-Founder, Monument Traders Alliance 

Dear Reader,

The recent headlines have been ugly, and the markets have felt it.

Since the initial U.S. airstrikes on Iran on Feb. 27, the S&P 500 has fallen approximately 1.2 to 2% on average. The Dow has fallen more than 1,000 points (roughly 1.5% to 2%) since Feb. 27.

But this negative sentiment is nothing new to me.

I’ve always been one who looks for opportunity amid the chaos. It’s how I traded the COVID crash for a 246% overall gain (all while the S&P lost 20%).

And last week was the perfect example of how to actually profit in down markets like these.

I call it the “Dark Ticker” trade.

We’ve been using Dark Ticker trades to take winners in 2026 whenever the indexes drop below a certain threshold.

The Latest Dark Ticker Trade (41% Winner)…

The rules of Dark Ticker trades are simple. Anytime a major index (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, or GLD) closes down 1% or more, we buy calls that expire the next day. Zero emotion, zero guesswork.

Last Wednesday was the perfect example…

The market was ugly, and the IWM hit my -1% trigger. That’s when the Dark Ticker strategy kicks in automatically.

I got positioned on the IWM calls.

The next day the IWM bounced back up, and we rang the register for a 41% overnight winner.

That’s the power of using historical data to play market swings to your advantage.

Several members were also in on last week’s Dark Ticker trade.

Here’s what they had to say…

“51% right out of the gate, way to start the day!” – Mrandall

“48% wakes me up everytime!” – ThomI 

“Gotta love a quick 55% Dark Ticker winner within one minute of market open.” – CoachBill

“Made 20% overnight! Thanks Bryan!!” – Don-Andre

I know this Dark Ticker strategy sounds almost too simple. But that’s the idea.

We wanted to make this trade as easy as possible so traders could take quick overnight winners when the market is in freefall.

And with the current geopolitical tensions in Iran – the Dark Ticker strategy is one I’ll continue to use anytime a major index drops 1%.

Some top convergence stocks have jumped more than 1,600%… 2,000%… and even 3,100%.

The Science Behind The Dark Ticker Trade

The Dark Ticker trade isn’t a get-rich-quick trade. It’s a systematic approach based on how big money actually moves.

When the market drops 1%, pension funds see buying opportunities. Hedge funds deploy cash they’ve been sitting on.

ETF rebalancing also kicks in. All that institutional buying pressure creates predictable bounces.

With our Dark Ticker trade, we’re just setting ourselves up to ride that wave.

And since these are short-term options, you’re never stuck for months wondering what comes next.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

The Dark Ticker strategy is one of my BEST ways to profit from down markets like we’re seeing now.

And in less than 8 days – I’ll be revealing the next evolution of my Dark Ticker Strategy.

I’m calling it “Stock Flips,” and it’ll show you how to profit from individual tickers when they’re in freefall. Similar to trading ugly indexes, but this time I’ll be trading ugly stocks.

I’m excited to share it with you.
