The Trading Analyst sends you complete alerts, with clear entry and exit points. Alerts are sent in real-time via email, text message, and Telegram, with everything included. We prioritize the secret that will make or break your trading over the long-term: risk management.
We use multiple trading systems to ensure you’ll get alerts regardless of the current market environment. Our swing trading system usually provides 1-2 alerts per month with a 3-30 day holding period, while our momentum trading system typically provides 2-5 alerts per week which are held anywhere from one hour to three days.
Since July of 2018, we’ve had 337 winning swing trades and 302 losing trades. But it’s our risk management that really sets us apart from the rest. Our average win is $4,324.02 — while our average loss is -$2,603.29. This gives us a profit factor of 1.66. Our portfolio (starting equity of $100,000 in July 2018) grew to $771,001.67 by the end of July 2023.
And that’s the magic of risk management over the long-term.

Experience a Different Approach to Options Alerts
We find and send you trade alerts in real-time.
Risk Management
Over 90% of traders fail and lose money. Why? Because they don’t understand how to manage risk. As a member, you’ll benefit from our protected Target Profit Calculation formula, which determines not just when it’s time to take a profit, but when it’s time to cut losses.
This keeps losses at a minimum, and strives for maximum gains. In brief, our overall strategy seeks trades with a reward that’s double the risk — as our results demonstrate.
Proven Strategy
We’re 100% transparent: Our long-term vision and strategy is channeled through three distinct trading systems, each engineered for consistent, quality trades over the long run, rather than chasing quick, unrealistic wins. Coupled with our unique approach to risk management, you won’t find another trading system like ours.
No specific market conditions are required — we’ve rigorously tested our systems in various trading environments to ensure you’ll get alerts regardless of what’s happening out there.
Real-time Options Alerts
There are a lot of gurus out there with false promises. We cut through all the noise by delivering quality alerts powered by a proven strategy. No gimmicks, no BS, just alerts. We utilize both long-term swing trades and shorter-term momentum trades to keep trading opportunities sent your way. We’re in it for the long run.
Passion
What separates us from the rest? Passion. We know money can be made from trading. And we’ve seen the difference that it can make in people’s lives. This is what drives us, what keeps us motivated, and why we wake up in the morning. We love what we do and are excited to share that passion with you.
We Find the Action. You Keep the Profits.
We target 10 - 25% gains on every trade. Sometimes the result is more, and sometimes it's less. Here are some trades we've sent in the past:

Our Approach to Options Alert Trading
Proven Process
Our initial screening process involves a team of analysts leveraging tens of thousands of data sets to spot likely indications of significant upcoming movements. We strictly adhere to each step of our formula, and never make an exception. Only once all criteria have been verified do we enter a position and send an options alert to our members. This reduces risk in the long-term and drastically increases our net profitability.
Profit Target Calculation and Risk Management
Accurately identifying a trade with upcoming movement is just the beginning of our options alert service. From there, we want to maximize our gain, and minimize our risk. To achieve this, we calculate an initial profit target to sell half of each position. Once the first half is sold, we then determine a second profit target to sell the remaining half. We always utilize the stop loss mechanism to minimize losses in the event that things don’t go our way. We also pay careful attention to option position sizing. It’s our concentration on long-term risk management that has fueled our success.
History of Profitability
While losses do happen, our win rate is almost 53%, with 337 wins and 302 losses since July 2018. But, it’s our net profitability (thanks to risk management) that really sets us apart: Our average loss is -$2,603.29, but our average win is $4,324.02 (a profit factor of 1.66).

Find our most frequently asked questions—and their answers—below.
Swing and momentum trade alerts are sent via standard SMS message, email, and broadcasted in our private Telegram channel.
This means you’ll receive a simple SMS and email with the buy or sell alert and all accompanying info, and you’ll receive that same alert via Telegram but with a custom chart and additional explanation behind our move.
Telegram is a free app which allows us to consistently deliver alerts in real-time, to avoid potential delays from cellular networks.
We can send alerts to any country across the globe.
Importantly, it is always a human who sends alerts.
All alerts are sent in real-time and can be sent throughout US trading hours.
We send swing trade alerts on both options and stock trades. They are delivered via SMS, email and Telegram. Here’s how they differ:
“Entered” refers to an options purchase.
Example SMS for options:
Entered OXY Nov19 $29 Calls at 4.75. Full size.
Sold all F Oct15 $12 Calls at 4.15. Nice win overall!
“Bought” refers to a stock purchase.
Example SMS for stocks:
Bought GNRC Stock at 350.89. Full size.
Sold all KHC Stock at 43.04. Nice win overall.
Here’s a screenshot of an actual alert sent in July of 2023:
Momentum trade alerts are also delivered via SMS, email and Telegram. This is what they look like:
ENTRY: Bought $IWM Oct6 $176 Calls at 2.98.
Position size: ¼ size
EXIT: Sold $IWM Oct6 $176 Calls at 3.61.
Intraday QQQ trade alerts are delivered exclusively via Telegram, but through a separate Telegram channel due to higher alert frequency. Here’s what they look like:
ENTRY: Bought QQQ at, price = 367.89
EXIT: Sold QQQ at, price = 368.32
ENTRY: Sold Short QQQ at, price = 369.538
EXIT: Bought to Cover QQQ at, price = 369.14
Position size is an important metric used in risk management.
Adequate position sizing should be at the forefront of your mind when entering each trade. If you blow up your account, you are out of business!
If you are a new trader without an understanding of Risk of Ruin and Probability of Ruin, your odds of blowing up your account before learning how to trade are almost certain. You can trade an excellent system like ours with a proven track record and still go broke if you do not understand the meaning of proper position sizing. Here’s a useful resource, if necessary:
There are two factors one should have in mind when planning risk on a trade and position sizing.
First, a single position size (total $ value of the position at the time of opening the position) should be a maximum of 10% of your total account equity for stock trades and a maximum of 2.5% of your total account equity for options trades. Single position size means if the position goes to 0 you will lose the above-mentioned percentage of your account equity.
Let’s break this down: In our portfolio tracker we use an example of $10,000 per options trade and $40,000 per stock trade as the single position size. When our alert says “Full size” this means that we have bought options for $10,000 in the event of an options trade, or stocks for $40,000, in the event of a stock trade. You should determine this amount (single position size) in advance, based on your account size and in line with the above mentioned general guiding principle of a maximum of 10% of account equity for stock trades and a maximum of 2.5% of account equity for options trades.
The second factor is the distance between the entry price and stop loss price. The distance to stop loss price that we usually use is 10-15%. Our stop loss is on a closing basis, so this should be taken into consideration when computing a position size. Please read more on position sizing and risk management here:
Absolutely! We have successful members from all across the globe currently enjoying the membership. All you need is a brokerage account to begin trading.
Our rate of options signals can vary due to different market conditions and trading systems. We always prioritize alerts of high-quality trades instead of a high volume of alerts. We don’t just want to send alerts for the sake of sending alerts - we want to send you alerts with high upside and low risk.
Our QQQ Short-Term Swings system has the highest alert frequency and produces anywhere from 1 to 5 trades per day, on average.
Through our momentum trading system, we typically issue 2-5 trade alerts per week.
With our swing trading system, alerts are largely dependent on the market environment. Throughout the latter half of 2023, with a choppy market environment, alerts from this system have been low. We aim for 1-2 of these alerts per month.
Depending on the market conditions, one system will be more active than the other, and vice-versa.
There are some days when we do not send any swing or momentum alerts. In fact, we’ve had some weeks where we haven’t sent any alerts (these are very rare, however).
Some weeks, we may only send you a few alerts. Other weeks, you could get up to 10. The only guarantee is that we prioritize quality over quantity. We do not chase trades; we’ve developed systems which allow trades to come to us.
We recommend a starting account size of approximately $25,000 to fully utilize all features of our trading systems.
But, based on what we’ve seen, our strategies, and member feedback, we suggest a minimum account size of $10,000 in order to benefit from our alerts.
Keep in mind that the smaller the account typically increases the risk per trade and, consequently, the risk of ruin (account wipe out) could significantly increase as well.
The Trading Analyst has helped more than 11,450 traders navigate the markets without dedicating all their time to monitoring technical analysis, watching the news, and always feeling a step behind. Trading is difficult — it requires time, knowledge, experience, and patience. We remove these requirements for you, making options trading both accessible and hopefully, profitable.
The key to our strategy is a long-term approach with a focus on risk management. In short, this means that our systems have mechanical structures in place which minimize losses and find low-risk trades with high upside potential. Repeating this process, and powering our formula with data—not emotions—is a key ingredient in our recipe for success.
Also, our multiple trading systems (two of which became available this year after stringent testing) enable us to provide alerts regardless of the market environment, which we’re quite proud of. We’ve proven our ability to adapt to different market conditions and to consistently produce high quality and valuable trade alerts for our members.
This is different for each of our three trading systems.
When we’re swing trading, positions can be open anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks, and in rare cases, even months.
Momentum trades are shorter, and are typically held anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
And for our QQQ short-term swings, which are really short-term trades, holding time can be anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours (positions can be held open overnight, too).
The Trading Analyst’s core is our long-term swing trading strategy which has an emphasis on trading volume. Our 6-step strategy ensures that a number of criteria have been met prior to sending an alert.
In 2023 as a response to a very complex and choppy market, we’ve expanded our offer to now include two additional tried-and-tested systems: Intraday trades and Momentum trades.
Our Intraday trading strategy was carefully crafted to capitalize on trending moves in the QQQ Index, both long and short plays.
Our Momentum trading strategy is honed to seize the opportunities presented by intermediate-term market momentum.
Depending on the market's conditions, we might lean more into one strategy than another at times.
Again, this depends on your preferred trading style and strategy you’re comfortable with using.
As we focus on trading fundamentals over the long-term (risk management and discipline through mechanical processes), we’ve noticed that customers who are willing to stick with us for at least three months and actively use the resources we provide, see a larger benefit.
The Trading Analyst trades both options and stocks.
While our alerts are usually focused on options, we will use common stock trades if:
- The market environment is unfavorable, meaning general market volatility is high and options are expensive,
- Particular stock options are expensive and the majority of our members would be unable to satisfy the requirements (e.g. AMZN),
- The options on a potential stock are illiquid (meaning a large spread, or poor option interest).
