Chad’s $8,637 Win On SoFi + My NVDA Trade Setup

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The market is moving into a sideways phase with light volume and cautious positioning. September tends to be volatile, but I see strength building for the next push higher once this consolidation finishes.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. Neutral to bullish outlook with QQQ levels to watch

2. Client spotlight: Chad’s $8,637 SoFi win

3. My free trade of the week on NVDA with 2.18% ROI in 18 days

4. Bonus video: my positions on NVDA, HIMS, and SoFi

Market Snapshot

I’m neutral to bullish right now. $QQQ ( ▲ 0.15% ) touched 577 and I think we’ll consolidate sideways for the next week or two. Light volume and vacations have kept the market quiet, which is typical for late August.

If QQQ consolidates here and then breaks higher, I see a run to 590 in the near term. At that point, $VIX ( ▲ 1.57% ) could fall into the 13s or even the 12s. That’s when I’ll look to start adding some bearish trades in a very small portion of the portfolio, since I think a larger pullback would be healthy.

For now, I’m keeping 15% in cash and expect that to rise to about 25% by the end of the week as positions close. September is historically a negative-return month, so I want to stay cautious while keeping bullish exposure.

Client Spotlight

Chad has become one of our most consistent performers. After posting multiple $80K–$90K months, today he closed out a SoFi CSP position for an $8,637 profit. This is his fifth month in the program, and he’s showing the kind of repeatability we aim for with the strategy.

NVIDIA has an expected move of $12 going into earnings. Worst case, the stock dips to around 167, which lines up well with this strike. I believe NVIDIA heads higher from here, making this a safe play with solid income potential. If assigned, you’d be getting the stock at a discount.
