How Raman Hit $52K in August + My Next Setup + HOOD S&P 500 Inclusion

In partnership with

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:

  1. Why I think QQQ is heading to 590

  2. Client spotlight: Raman’s $52K month and community wins

  3. Free trade of the week on HIMS (3.57% ROI in 35 days)

  4. 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.
