This morning, we had the legendary turtle trader, Jerry Parker on the Morning Show. Watch the replay here.
He emphasized the importance of outliers in a system. The core idea is simple: let winners run and keep losers tight.
Outliers are the difference-maker in any sound trend following strategy.
At one point, Jerry likened his trading approach to “being a home run hitter.”
It’s the same thing we’re doing here with Breakout Multiplier. We’re shooting for outsized gains. When managed correctly, they take care of all the losers.
We really nailed a perfect entry last week with Square, and I think it’s setting up to be our next big hit.
Here at Breakout Multiplier, we're all about booking big gains—and our Peloton $PTON play just hit it out of the park.
A month ago, we scooped up the 11/15 $7 calls for a cool $0.16.
By October 18th, we'd already sold half for a triple. This set us up to let the rest ride into earnings, while already securing a profit on the full position.
In other words, if the remaining calls went to zero (which they did not), we still made money on this trade.
Today, Peloton's ripping, up over 30% on the heels of earnings, and our calls are going through the roof, trading as high as $2.00 in today’s session.
That’s right—a 12-bagger, a whopping 1,000%+ return!
With the election right around the corner, we think banks are offering an extra spicy setup.
Bank of America $BAC is the perfect vehicle to express a bullish thesis on this theme.
The primary trend has recently shifted higher, and price has been consolidating in a triangle since it peaked back in July.
Our volatility squeeze indicator (weekly) has crossed higher off an extreme low, suggesting some big momentum could be coming.
If we get a valid resolution from this multi-week coil, the follow-through move should earn us a quick double.
And then we’ll have the election reaction which will dictate whether we book a big gain on the remaining position.
That is why we are only going out to December with these calls. It gives us about three weeks to get the move we're looking for, and allows the election to be the catalyst for it before the theta decay window kicks in.
