Anyone who’s been in the market long enough will tell you: “the summer months are the slowest”.
It’s true. Wall Street fat cats and retail traders alike take time off during the summer to travel, spend time with family, and destress from the market.
But that predictability opens the door to a specific strategy…
How I bank during slow summers.
It’s a simple process too. Soon enough, you’ll learn you can make money and soak up the sun at the same time…
The weakness in the market is undeniable right now.
Most people look at the price action and think, “no way, look at all the volatility”.
But it’s volatility without any volume…
During the most volatile stretches this summer, the volume barely rivals trading days from just a few months earlier.
Don’t mistake that weakness for a lack of opportunity.
Summer market conditions can still present trading opportunities for prepared traders.
My Favorite Patterns
When we get down to the nitty gritty of my favorite setups, people generally realize this isn’t as difficult or complex as they imagined.
Options get a bad rap.
Calls? Puts? Contracts? Expiration dates?
You don’t have to tell me… it made my head spin when I started too.
But once people learn the basic vocabulary and see at the charts I’m playing, it all starts to click.
Like buying bullish positions when a stock reaches a clear support zone.
For example, I alerted this setup on July 9 on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA):
We sold these contracts a few hours later into the bounce on the same day…
Notice how the support line:
- Is at a key whole number ($200).
- Extends all the way back to mid-June.
- And has acted as resistance since then.
Options are not as complicated as you think. And my trade patterns are even simpler.
Don’t just take it from me…
Like Riding A Bike…
My summer trading strategy is similar to the trade I alerted on NVDA, but considering the special momentum right now, it’s essential you learn my exact process.
Everyone leaves the market during the summer. And it’s a mistake on their part, because every year the same setups start to push higher due to the weaker trading volume.
We still have a few months of “sluggishness” left.
Take advantage of it!
On Wednesday, July 15, I’m hosting a single, 4-hour zoom, that covers this entire strategy.
Once you learn it, you can apply it over and over again on the next summer setup.
This 4-hour trading session is tailored for:
- Normal everyday people
- Who want to level up their small account
- Without spending all day at the computer
I’m proof that this strategy works…
My students are proof…
Stop slacking off during the summer. And start putting cash back into your pocket.
I’ll see you there.
Be good (and be good to others),
Ben Sturgill
