I love this overnight trade happening Thursday (ad)

I call these trades ‘live lottos’ as they’re options trades I open on Thursday that expire on Friday. We’re not going nuts here. We’re putting in as little as $50 and hope to hit 300%… even 1,000% wins in 1 day like I’ve done with Nvidia and Amazon. They don’t win every time, but it’s fun when they hit. Discover how I find these trades in my new free presentation.
