How Raman Hit $52K in August + My Next Setup + HOOD S&P 500 Inclusion
Hey Options Trader,
Even with bad news hitting the tape today, the market continues to hold its footing. That kind of resilience tells me we’re in a melt-up situation, and I’m positioning bullish into next week.
Here’s what we are covering:
Why I think QQQ is heading to 590
Client spotlight: Raman’s $52K month and community wins
Free trade of the week on HIMS (3.57% ROI in 35 days)
Bonus video: brand new stock, market update, and two LEAPS setups
Market Snapshot
The market digested bad unemployment news today without breaking down. $QQQ ( ▲ 0.9% ) rallied, sold off, and still closed flat compared to yesterday. To me, that signals strength and the potential for a melt-up.
I’m watching 583 on QQQ as the next area of resistance. If we break that level, a push to 590 is in play. RSI isn’t overbought, and MACD looks like it wants to cross bullishly on the daily chart.
The $VIX ( ▼ 0.13% ) sits at 15 and could easily head lower, into the 14s or even the 13s, which would support a continued grind higher. I’m holding 14% cash right now, planning to allocate more into bullish setups.
Robinhood $HOOD ( ▲ 1.91% ) just joined the S&P 500, and I went heavy on LEAPS before the announcement. I’ll likely close those Monday, so congrats if you followed along with that play from Wednesday’s newsletter.

$583 resistance for next week. If it breaks $590 next.

VIX looking like it wants $14 again.
Client Spotlight
Raman, one of our clients and a world renowned classical flute player from India, just hit his first $52,000 month in the program. Incredible progress.

Other community wins this week include:
Richard: $26,500 in premium collected so far this month
One client: $10,000 in profits this week
Tom: $4,687 in his first five days of September
Amazing results from clients following the system.
Free Trade of the Week
Trade: Sell October 10th $42 cash-secured put
Premium: $150
ROI: 3.57% in 35 days (annualized ~37.2%)
Delta: 23
HIMS got a boost this week after Eli Lilly lost a lawsuit against a smaller telehealth company, which bodes well for HIMS in its own legal battles. With strong support below and resistance near 52, this is a safe, income-generating trade with plenty of upside potential.
