It’s a serious question.

Some Breakout Multiplier members will completely close trades at a max return of 10x. I’m okay with that. But, I wouldn't go any lower because you need the outliers.

I know other members who prefer to hold on to their winners until expiration (after selling the double, of course). 

There will be times when the former will work better. And there will be times when the latter strategy is the right move.

But from my experience, there is no correct way to manage these home runs consistently.

I don’t have a hard and fast rule for it.

I will be more aggressive and hold on longer if I think we’re in an extra risk-on tape.

I’ll consider what the broader market and the stock’s peer group are doing.

I’ll look at momentum indicators to gauge how extended the trend is. And I’ll do this with the contract’s time to expiration in mind.

And I’ll assign more weight to the price behavior and level than anything else. 

Whenever JC is out, the Morning Show becomes the Strazza Show. 

I invite some of my closest friends on for the guest segment, and we bring the analyst team members on for a free-for-all market discussion. It’s a blast.

Today, we had an extra special guest, David Lundgren.

I’ve learned so much from my conversations with Dave over the years. 

One of the big lessons I credit to him is the importance of outlier trades. We spent a good chunk of time discussing this on my Off The Charts podcast a few months back.

But, I’ve also learned the importance of having big winners first-hand over the years. Figuring this out has been quite the journey, and it has made all the difference for my trading.

I believe in being overly aggressive and making as much money as possible in bull markets.

We do this every Thursday at 11 a.m. ET for Breakout Multiplier members, where we discuss new trades ideas, open positions and answer questions from the chat.

Here are two takeaways from today’s call:

• One Rule: Sell the Double

Discipline is crucial in any trading strategy. 

Today, we had a brief discussion on why it is so important to "sell the double." 

It’s the only hard and fast rule we have. But it’s critical. Without it, the whole thing breaks down.

Happy Friday, folks.

It was another wild week in the market. Let's wrap it up with some portfolio maintenance and general thoughts about how we made out.

First, congrats to everyone who hit big with SoundHound.

These outlier trades are actually common with our system. And we need them because they pay for all the zeros.

If you let it ride, and you are up 25x today, fantastic. 

If you didn’t. Pay attention and learn from this. It is so important to let our winners run. This is why we sell the double so religiously. It puts our minds at ease, and with the comfort of knowing we can’t lose, we are more likely to let positions go. 

In the case of SOUN, the calls were cheap, so we could own more than just 2 contracts. Larger position sizes like this make our job easier. Use it to your advantage and scale out on strength in situations like this.

One of the key benefits of buying cheap call options on low-priced stocks is the flexibility they provide when managing and scaling out of positions. This becomes especially valuable when we hit a big winner.
