First, a little housekeeping and a BIG announcement…
Starting Friday, Nathan Tucci is joining me for the “Opening Playbook” at 10 a.m. ET — and we’re making the show DAILY!
That means you’ll get a market overview, trade ideas and lessons, you’ll be able to ask us your trading questions — and you’ll get both of us… DAILY!
Nate and I are both very excited — this is going to be a lot of fun!
So be sure and check us out at 10 a.m. ET on Friday!
Now, let’s talk gold…
If you think you need a massive breakout to potentially double your money trading options, think again. I’m about to show you how a simple options setup on gold (GLD) could have you earning a 100% return from a move of just 0.3% IF everything plays out.
Remember, nothing is ever guaranteed in trading!
And no — that’s not a typo. A move smaller than one-third of 1% could double your money within a week.
The Setup Most Traders Miss
Most people think options trading is about buying calls and praying for a huge move. The reality is buying calls alone stinks most of the time. You’re paying huge premiums, especially right now, you’re fighting time decay, and even when you’re right about the stock, you can still lose money.
That’s why I use a wrap order instead.
A wrap order is simply a debit spread. You buy a call slightly below the stock’s current price and sell a call slightly above it. This “wraps” the current stock price between two strikes and sets you up to double your investment — if the stock finishes just slightly higher at expiration.
In the case of gold (GLD), which was breaking out to new all-time highs on a wave of market uncertainty, I wrapped the price around 290. I bought the 290 call and sold the 291 call. That’s a $1 spread. Ideally, you want to enter for about half the difference, which in this case was 50 cents.
The calculator showed the math clear as day — a 100% potential return if gold closed above 291 by expiration. And here’s the kicker — gold only needed to move up 0.3% for that to happen.
That’s barely a nudge. Today alone, gold has already moved just shy of $293, about 2.6% near the closing bell.
Why This Works Better Than Basic Calls
It’s simple — wrap orders offset the insane time decay that kills regular call buyers. When you buy one call and sell another at the same time, you strip out a lot of the overpriced premium.
Normally, if you just bought a basic 290 call on GLD, you would need a $4 move to break even. Good luck with that in a week. But with a wrap order, you just need a slight move higher.
Here’s what’s crazy — by selling that second call, you only need the stock to budge slightly in your favor. That’s why this setup works so well for stocks, commodities and anything else trending even a little bit.
Bottom line, if you can pick a direction — even just slightly — you can stack 100% winners week after week. And in crazy markets like these, that’s a major advantage.
Don’t forget to tune in at 10 a.m. ET on Friday!
I shared this gold play and a whole lot more on Thursday’s show, and there’s way more to come!

P.S. What Chuck Hughes Is Leaving Behind — Get In Before It’s Too Late!
Former jet pilot in the Air Force, moved on to fly commercial planes, then became a 10X trading champion with his Trading Service live signals producing 25 years of profits with no down years! All I’ve described above is Chuck Hughes. You see, not many traders alive I’ve seen can boast of the same track record this man has.
He’s been in this game for 40 years, that’s more than most of my buddies have been alive…
I first met Chuck five years ago, and I couldn’t believe his story.
Started with just $4,600 while working as an airline pilot.
Made over $460,000 in his first two years of trading.
Profited through FIVE major market crashes without a down year.
Generated $3.4 million in verified trading profits.
This guy is the real deal… The kind of trader others tell stories about.
And he became my mentor.
Under his guidance, I doubled my trading account in six months… Then did it again last year.
But last month, Chuck told me something that shocked me.
“After 40 years, I’m ready to give it all away,” he said.
When he first told me this, I wasn’t sure what to think.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“Yes,” he told me. “I think it’s time.”
Chuck explained that at this point in his life, he’s thinking about his legacy.
His family… The mountains in Hawaii he wants to explore… The expeditions in Australia he’s planning.
He won’t be doing this forever.
And he wants to share something extraordinary before he steps away.
Something that could allow everyday traders to target $1,000+ profits, on a $5k starting stake with just minutes of effort.
From anywhere in the world… Using just a smartphone.
Even during market crashes like we are seeing right now.
And coming from someone who’s traded every kind of market you can imagine for the last 40 years, there’s nobody more qualified that I know of than Chuck Hughes.
That’s why this Monday at 1 pm Eastern, Chuck is making a public unveiling – and he’s asked me to join him.
And there was NO WAY I was turning down that opportunity.
Of course, while I cannot promise future returns or shield against losses…
If you’d like to join us to see what Chuck Hughes is saying might be his final legacy project, tap this link to reserve your seat for Monday.
If you’ve been struggling to make consistent income in the markets…
If you’ve watched your portfolio get hammered by volatility…
If you want to learn from someone who’s actually done it, not just talked about it…
This is your chance.
