Client Makes $20K 3 Days Into Oct + Here’s a 91% Annualized Play
Hey Options Trader,
This market has been giving us plenty of noise, shutdown headlines, Fed officials dropping warnings, and company news flow all hitting at once, but despite that, stocks have held up with resilience. QQQ bounced off 600, the VIX is stuck in the 16s, and the bears haven’t been able to push things meaningfully lower. To me, that means we’re in a healthy consolidation zone where select names are presenting really strong opportunities.
Here’s what we are covering:
Market snapshot and why I’m still bullish-to-neutral right here
Client Spotlight: Sridhar and big wins reported from multiple clients

Market Snapshot
Overall outlook is neutral leaning bullish. $QQQ ( ▼ 0.42% ) is holding the 600 level, but I’m watching carefully: if we can’t hold 603 next week, I could see us retesting 590 or even 580 on a healthy pullback. That would be a good dip-buying opportunity. On the other hand, holding above 603 would set up another breakout leg to the upside. $VIX ( ▲ 0.12% ) is at 16.90 and has stayed here all week. Even after bad news, from ADP unemployment to Fed comments, the market refused to break down. That’s a sign of underlying strength.
I’m sitting on about 15% cash and plan to increase that closer to 20% next week to be more in line with my VIX cash allocation levels.

QQQ holding $603 level, we’ll see if it breaks below next week

VIX consolidating in the $16’s….slight fear, but not enough to bring down markets.
Client Spotlight
This week we’re highlighting our client Sridhar. In his very first month with us, he made $67,000 and he continues to post incredible results.
We also had new wins this week: one client posted $20,000 profit just three days into October, and another reported $73,000 profit for September. Our group is absolutely crushing it.
Free Trade of the Week
HIMS had a decent pullback today after leadership changes were announced, but I see that as a positive longer term. I like this setup a lot because it’s right before earnings and you can capture high premiums while avoiding the earnings risk.
The trade:
Sell the October 31st 46 cash-secured put to collect $226. That’s a 4.91% return in 27 days, which annualizes to 66.4% linear and 91.2% compounded. Very strong return on a safe level, as 46 is right below support and the lower Bollinger Band.
