February 13, 2026 

The countdown to expiration week has begun…  

Things are going to look a little different this time around. 

Recently, investors have been focused on the holiday rush and the turn of the calendar. Now, attention has shifted. The market is reacting (sometimes violently) to new information. 

The first jobs report for 2026 is out, consumer spending from December came in flatter than expected, and earnings season continues to deliver surprises that force investors to reassess positioning quickly. 

And while the Dow recently notched a new all-time high, that move followed a broader market selloff the prior week, as concerns swirled around software and mega-cap tech stocks. 

In environments like this, there’s too much opportunity to ignore… but exposure becomes far less forgiving. 

If the idea of targeting meaningful gains without staying overexposed to risk sounds appealing, you’ll want to read on. 

Let me explain. 

In just a few short days, on the evening of Sunday, February 15^th, I’ll release six expiration week trades, each one designed to capitalize on the most compressed part of the monthly options cycle. 

Each of these six trades will target 200% gains (or more) in five days or less. 

That’s right… all positions are structured to close by Friday, February 20th. 

That’s the advantage of trading during this window. You’re not waiting weeks for a thesis to play out. You’re operating inside a defined, high-energy stretch where small stock moves can translate into outsized option gains. 

These trades are delivered through a long-standing favorite here at Schaeffer’s called Expiration Week Countdown. 

Here’s just a sampling of recent triple-digit wins, each one closed out within five trading days: 

•  305.3% on Roblox call (1/12 → 1/14)
• 125.9% on Chubb put (1/12 → 1/16)
• 114.9% on Datadog put
• 307.9% on Quantum Computing call
• 256.4% on Palantir Technologies call
• 196.9% on Walmart put 

As you can see, sometimes it doesn’t take the full five days. In January, Chubb took the full trading week to score its triple-digit return, but Roblox closed out on Wednesday – just two trading sessions!  

This Is Your Opportunity to Tighten Your Trading Window  

We’ll release our next batch of six expiration week trades at 7 p.m. ET this Sunday, February 15th, and I’d love nothing more than to include you in that email. 

You’ll have the opportunity to target meaningful gains while other investors are still reacting… and you’ll be out of all positions by Friday, February 20th, at the latest. 

And the great thing about this amazing strategy is that we do it every month. Expiration Week Countdown is a monthly trade delivery system, giving you repeated opportunities to apply the same disciplined approach – March, April, and beyond. 

Now, if you sign up today, you’ll actually see how this strategy works in an even more compressed window. Normally, you’ll enter your trades on Monday after they arrived in your inbox. 

But because the market is closed on Monday, February 16^th, you’ll actually place this month’s trades on Tuesday, February 17^th. 

Effectively, that means you’ll see February Expiration Week Countdown trades play out in four days instead of five. 

But it’s important that we target expiration week for this strategy to work. 

You see, options traders gravitate toward expiration week for a simple reason: when contracts have five days or less until expiration, moves of just 7% to 15% in the underlying stock can produce triple-digit option gains. 

You don’t need massive stock rallies. You need timing and a defined plan. 

Plus, because these trades are held for just a few days, you’re not tied to long-term market direction or drawn-out uncertainty. 

And not only is trading Expiration Week Countdown quick… but it’s super easy, too. 

• Every recommendation is a simple call or put. No complex strategies.
• Six trades are released at 7 p.m. ET on the Sunday before expiration Friday, complete with entry guidance, target ranges, charts, and clear reasoning.
• You place the trades on Monday (Tuesday this month) and manage exits using the provided parameters, by Friday at the latest.
