I’ve been sharing something with you in this newsletter that’s been one of the most consistent bright spots in my trading lately — and frankly, one of the most profitable.

For weeks now, I’ve been running a free weekly gold income trade every Friday on Opening Playbook. The results? A perfect 9-0 record with zero losses, and honestly, if I ever forget to place the trade on a Friday, there’s practically a mutiny waiting for me.

That kind of accountability is a gift — it keeps me consistent and consistency is how these edges really pay off.

Personally, I’ve booked $4,500 in profits with another $2,400 currently open — almost $7,000 total. Gold has been steadily chugging higher during this stretch, recently trading near $4,752 and continuing to show impressive strength.

The strategy itself is straightforward. I sell options on gold expecting it to stay above a specific price level, then let the positions expire for about $500 profit each time.

With gold grinding higher week after week, the probabilities tilt naturally in our favor.

Looking ahead, the momentum gives us even more to work with. When gold was around $4,000, I set a price target of $5,200 for the end of the year. We’re already more than halfway there just a few weeks into the new year, and at this pace, I wouldn’t be surprised if gold exceeds that level by a wide margin.

The Numbers Behind the Super Cycle

Let’s talk about where gold actually is right now — because the move has been impressive.

It’s currently trading around $4,943 an ounce. If you’ve been paying attention to precious metals, you’ve probably also noticed silver sitting near $100. When I first bought silver as a teenager after 2008, it was around $30…

Seeing it push toward $100 is wild!

The bigger point is the trend. Gold’s super cycle isn’t a hype cycle — it’s a steady, powerful move supported by real fundamental forces. Being almost to my $5,200 target this early in the year says a lot about the underlying strength.

Why This Strategy Works Right Now

This isn’t about getting lucky nine times in a row. It’s about recognizing when the market is giving you a favorable setup and executing with discipline. Gold’s super cycle is being driven by forces that aren’t disappearing anytime soon, which creates ideal conditions for selling premium on strength.

By focusing on trades that win as long as gold stays elevated, rather than trying to time every move, the odds tilt heavily in our favor. No strategy is perfect and we won’t win every trade forever, but when the trend, setup and consistency line up, you lean into it.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, this is one of those rare stretches where participation matters — don’t forget to join us at 10 a.m. ET for Opening Playbook!

The key is staying consistent, managing your risk and avoiding the temptation to overthink when the setup is clean.

Gold has been the bright spot in an otherwise choppy market — and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

P.S. Have you traded XSP’s hidden 10 AM edge?

What will you be doing at 10 AM tomorrow?

Running a few errands…

Returning from the gym…

Or probably already hard at work…

Whichever it is, if you can spare 2 minutes at 10 AM tomorrow…

I can show you a setup with the power to put around $500 (on a $1K) in your pocket in 60 minutes tops.

Granted there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but…

No, you won’t be needing any kind of specialized account for these daily trades; a regular brokerage account would work just fine.

The best part? Unlike a number of other strategies that have you chasing multiple tickers with multiple options contracts…

For what we do here at 10 a.m. ET daily, the SPX has more than enough daily volume to have you in and out of the market in under 1 hour.

Granted, I can’t make absolute guarantees when it comes to trading…

However, I can show you the entire game plan with all you need to go after the market as soon as 10 AM tomorrow.
