Follow the Dollar 💵 As a trader, you gotta follow one rule - follow the money! And right now, the money is flooding into the US dollar, which suggests smart money is betting on a Trump victory. If you don’t believe me, take a look at Bitcoin today… I don’t get caught up in flashy headlines or wild predictions - I trust the greenback and so should you! Potential Trades to Make Some Money 💰 Based on the price action I'm seeing, here are a couple trades I have my eye on: - With Tesla surging ahead of the election, I may look to sell call credit spreads. The elevated premiums from the IV spike provide a nice cushion. - If emerging markets like EEM sell off on a Trump win, I may leg into call debit spreads. The drop in volatility after the event could crush premiums and accelerate gains. - I've got my sights on a potential reversal play in the Nasdaq or QQQ with how extended the move up is. Selling a call credit spread up near the top end would offer a great risk/reward. - Gold and bonds may offer volatility plays depending on if the Fed cuts rates later this week as expected. Stay tuned for specific trade ideas! Butterflies Can Flutter Later 🦋 I know with all the excitement today you’re just itching to pull the trigger on those butterfly trades. I get it, believe me! But the real payday comes from having patience for actual results, not making impulse trades based on a hunch. Keep that trigger finger steady for now! We’ve got some great earnings to look forward too this week, including QCOM, ARM, APP, TTWO, ABNB, TTD, SQ, MNST, and NET. If you still don’t know how to trade this using my Earning Flips Strategy, [click here to find out more.Â]( Join Me Live at 9PM Eastern! 🎥📺 [Click here to join me tonight at 9pm ET when the election results start rolling in.Â]( Once these election results start rolling in, you know I’ll be live breaking it all down! The whole team will be here - Brandon, Blake, Tony, Gianni, all the usual suspects.
