This summer hasn’t just been busy… it’s been historic.
The Fed can’t stick to one tone; earnings are sending stocks swinging like a pendulum; and now, President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with the EU that includes 15% tariffs on most European imports (automobiles included) with a baseline global tariff rate expected between 15% and 20%.
That’s a game-changer for entire sectors.
Most traders see this as chaos.
We see it as a gold mine.
And as we’re nearing one of the most volatile times of the year, there’s no better time to be in a strategy built to take advantage of market whiplash.

Your risk is capped at what you put into the trade… no margin calls, no runaway losses. And with the flexibility to profit on the upside or the downside, we’re never stuck waiting for the “right” direction.

Although there is significant profit potential associated with buying options, there is also the risk of losing one’s entire investment in any individual trade. In any option buying approach, it is expected that losing trades will be more numerous than winning trades. The goal is for the average gain to be significantly greater than the average loss so that the bottom line is profitable. Prior to purchase, ensure that you have a broker that allows the trading of options and that you are approved to trade options.
