Chad’s $20K Day + Why I’m Cautious at QQQ 602 (And Still Trading SOFI)

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The market continues to push higher, but I’m starting to shift toward caution. With QQQ overbought and volatility creeping up, I’d rather stay ready for the next dip than overextend right now.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. Why I’m upping cash allocation to 20% as QQQ rises

2. Client spotlights: Anoop’s 48% return and Chad’s $20K profit

3. My safe SOFI earnings trade (3.85% ROI in 25 days)

4. Bonus video: 3 stocks I’m watching during this melt-up

Market Snapshot

$QQQ ( ▼ 0.66% ) hit 602 today, marking its third straight day above the upper Bollinger Band. RSI is flashing overbought, and the $VIX ( ▲ 3.35% ) is climbing even as markets set new highs, a divergence that signals caution. We last saw this before Jerome Powell’s Fed decision, and we’re seeing it again now.

I’m increasing my cash allocation from 15% to 20% to stay in line with my VIX-based strategy. That way, if we do see a pullback, I’ll have room to buy into weakness. Key catalysts ahead include unemployment data, GDP, and core PCE, all within the next two weeks.

Client Spotlight

Anoop, one of our standout clients, is now up 48% return on capital over the past two months. He joined looking for consistent structure, and he’s delivered amazing results.

We also saw Chad close out $20,000 in profit today, another strong example of execution in this market environment.

Free Trade of the Week

Premium: $100
ROI: 3.85% in 25 days
Annualized ROI (linear): ~56.2%

SOFI at 26 is below the mid-Bollinger Band, giving a safe margin. With rate cuts ahead, I like this setup as a steady income trade during earnings season.
