How to Crack the Case of the Market with TradeSmith’s Latest Stock Analyzer Tool!
Everyone loves a good “whodunnit” story.
Whether it’s a compelling drama like Criminal Minds or True Detective, or curling up with a good old Sherlock Holmes tale, there is something addictive about practicing second-level thinking, uncovering hidden clues, and getting to the truth.
You and I get to do the same thing when it comes to investing. We play detective in the stock market by tracking down clues as to which stocks and sectors could lock up the next big profit opportunity for us.
But it’s no easy job. At times, it seems like tracking down a criminal in the Miami heat or on the Baskerville moors may be an easier task than cracking the case of the stock market…
Stocks move up – and down – suddenly and seemingly without reason, all the time.
One day, one of my positions will be up 10%… and by the next day, it’s backtracked into the red. And that’s often without a volatile market to blame. Other days, my positions will soar – climbing 5%, 10%, even 20% or more in a matter of weeks… even if the overall market is going sideways.
But when it comes to smart trading, things aren’t always as they seem. And if you don’t take a closer look and put on your detective hat, you actually could miss out on greater opportunities that don’t always make themselves obvious.
And today, I’m going to show you how to do just that… using the stocks you may already know and love.
Uncover Option Trades with Smarter Tools
If you’re new to TradeSmith, or even if this is the first email of mine you’ve opened in a while, I highly encourage you to visit the TradeSmith Finance website often.
We’re constantly rolling out new features and updates to our best-loved tools, so it’s beneficial for you to stay in the know and take full advantage of our proven indicators.
Now, similar to the detectives in TV land, today, I’m going to give you “just the facts” about the smart way to use options to help you solve market opportunities.
Options are simply assets that are attached to an underlying security, stocks, indexes, ETFs, etc. And depending on the type (call or put option), they can earn massive gains.
For example, over the past few months at TradeSmith…
- Delta Report readers had the chance to take home 71.6% on half of the ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY) calls.
- Earnings Season Pass members could have scored 65.7% on the Five Below (FIVE) Very Bullish call debit spread.
- In Delta Direct, folks had the opportunity to see a 42.9% return on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) long puts.
- And Predictive Alpha Options readers could have seen 148.5% on the CarMax (KMX) long calls.
The caveat, of course, is that options carry a significant amount of risk.
But that is true of any trade, and the rules are the same for options as they are for stocks: Never put more money into a trade than you are prepared to lose.
Now, don’t let the often-cheap price tag of options (in comparison to the price of the stock) fool you – they can turn against you just as quickly as they can rake in the gains.
But by allocating a certain amount of capital – and using our unique suite of data-driven tools, you can stack the odds of success squarely in your favor, by taking the guesswork out of options trading.
So, once you’re logged into to TradeSmith, simply click the Options tab in your top navigation bar.
Now, let’s click on the Opportunities tab in the lower Options menu bar.
Then, click on the Strategies drop-down menu to start uncovering clues to profit from opportunities with options.
You can select any strategy you want to use, or multiple option strategies. To cast as wide a net as possible, I selected All Strategies.
Now, here’s the really interesting part of your investigation: uncovering clues to potential options profits.
You can customize the filters to anything you’d like. If you only want options ideas from our Billionaires Club – i.e., stocks that are popular among famous billionaires – or from any of your TradeSmith subscriptions.
In the Billionaires Club drop-down, you can even select the billionaire if you favor one over the others – such as billionaire hedge fund wizard, Bill Ackman.
You have the option to choose from any newsletter you subscribe to in the TradeSmith drop-down, like Jeff Clark’s exclusive Delta Report, which you’ll find located beneath the Billionaires Club drop-down menu.
Please Note: If you don’t see this feature on your dashboard – and would like to – simply call our Customer Care team at 866-220-1107 to learn more.
For this walk through, let’s select the entire Billionaires Club category.
From there, you can also add in any TradeSmith Baskets, include Individual Securities, adjust the Underlying Close Price of the securities in question, and select how many Days to Expiration you are comfortable with.
For this example, I’m not going to limit this search with any baskets, securities, or prices.
But I did set the Days to Expiration to less than 30 so we can create a more focused list of results.
Now, let’s look at the lineup of potential option trades:
As you can see, there are many possible option trades to choose from! This includes selling call and put options to earn instant income deposited straight into your brokerage account. Also included are several of my personal favorite trades: Buy/Write Covered Calls.
In this trade, you aim to buy a stock and simultaneously sell a call option on that same stock to earn instant income.
The call option is “covered” because you own the stock. The idea is often to have the stock called away at a higher price. That delivers a double-dose of profit from the…
- Price gains of the underlying stock…
- And income earned for selling the covered call option.
Let’s click on Trade Summary of the WEC recommendation (the third tile from the left) for more details, and I’ll show you why.
On this page, you get “just the facts” to make a well-informed decision about the potential for this option trade.
The recommendation, as you can see above, is to buy 100 shares of WEC Energy (WEC) at $102.87, while simultaneously selling the July 18, 2025, $105 Call option to receive $85 of instant income.
On the right, you’ll see how this trade could play out – according to our exclusive TradeSmith options analysis tools, there’s a 90% probability this trade results in a max profit of $298.
That happens if, as our tools suspect, your call option is assigned and shares of WEC are called away from you at $105.
This results in $213 of price gains from the 100 shares you bought, plus the $85 of income from the covered call option.
If your call option is not assigned at expiration, just a 10% likelihood of occurring, you will still earn a max profit of $85, which is the initial call option premium you earned from the start.
The transparency of these strategies, supported by the proven evidence of TradeSmith’s options tools, takes away much of the anxiety involved with options trading.
While anything can happen, knowing the probability of success up front makes for better, smarter option trading. When you can pick and choose option trades with high odds of success stacked in your favor, that gives you a huge edge. But as powerful as this Options Opportunities finder is, TradeSmith has a new, and even more powerful trade examination tool that I’m excited to share with you…
If you haven’t heard about this new tool yet, don’t worry; it just went live in the past week.
But it is adept at uncovering hidden opportunities in the market – not unlike the ones we just talked about…
Just much bigger and faster.
In our own investigations and back testing, we uncovered returns like…
- 102% in seven days from RingCentral…
- 103% in two days from EPAM Systems…
- 474% in 18 days from United Airlines…
- 412% in four days from Cornell Inc…
- And 776% in 17 days from GoDaddy.
These opportunities were only possible through TradeSmithGPT’s ultra-powerful artificial intelligence core – one that our software developers have spent years building and fine-tuning.
TradeSmithGPT not only identifies the ideal profit windows for nearly 2,000 stocks…
But it handpicks which type of trade you can execute to see the biggest possible gains.
But don’t just take my word for it; I encourage you to see TradeSmithGPT in action.
Our TradeSmith CEO, Keith Kaplan, recorded an eye-opening live demonstration of TradeSmithGPT just the other day – you can catch it here.
Plus, Keith told me that TradeSmithGPT flagged three brand-new opportunities that are ready to be booked on Tuesday, July 1.
So, you don’t have much time to act.
If you want to get serious about your trading – alongside your own “detective work” for new opportunities – go here now.
Mike Burnick’s Bottom Line: Our TradeSmith Opportunities screener can help you investigate short- and longer-term trading and investments in stocks, options, ETFs, cryptocurrencies – you name it. And our new TradeSmithGPT can aid you in closing the case for faster and larger potential profits than ever.
Good investing,
Mike Burnick
