In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live Earnings season is back. And this week, I’m watching three names with the power to send markets surging or stumbling for weeks to come. Three of the most heavily weighted stocks in major indices report earnings this week – Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta (META). These reports aren’t just company events. They’re market-level volatility catalysts. Moves in AAPL, MSFT, and META don’t just affect their charts. They ripple through the QQQ, the S&P 500, and a long list of suppliers and partners. This is where expectations collide with reality. And it’s also where options pricing tends to break. If you’ve been watching Masters in Trading, you already know our edge here. We’re not trying to guess beats or misses. We’re not trading headlines. We focus on magnitude, not direction. Before earnings, options imply a certain move. That implied move reflects what traders think might happen. Our job is to compare that to what actually tends to happen. We backtest each stock’s historical earnings reactions and line that up against current options pricing. Here’s a simple rule of thumb… When options are pricing in more movement than history supports, volatility is often overpriced. When options price in less movement, volatility can be underpriced. That gap is where opportunity lives. Over the past year, many of our biggest wins didn’t come from the megacaps themselves. They came from the back-end players — the suppliers, infrastructure names, and secondary beneficiaries quietly tied to these platforms. Once you stop trading the news and start trading the structure beneath it, your entire approach changes. That’s exactly where my Earnings Advantage strategy comes in. Each earnings season, I scan thousands of companies looking for options mispricing tied to earnings volatility. Now, Earnings Advantage is boring by design. It’s systematic, repeatable, and data-driven. But the results speak for themselves. With an average 278% annualized gain across 55 closed positions, Earnings Advantage is a strategy absolutely built for strong, repeatable gains. Want to learn more about Earnings Advantage? You can learn all about what my earnings-based system has to offer right here. And make sure to join me for today’s episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST. I’ll break down what AAPL, MSFT, and META could mean for the broader market this week — and where the best earnings-driven opportunities are setting up right now.

Members of Divergence Trader just locked in a huge win after their BHP calls pushed higher yesterday. BHP was just one of our plays on the recent commodities rally we’ve been trading across all my services. The results speak for themselves. etrain1373 entered the March 62.50 calls at $2.50 and exited at $7.13, locking in a +185% gain. Rogerish followed a similar setup – in at $2.60 and out at $7.20, banking 177%. Another member closed the same BHP position for +166%, while others highlighted strong profits using vertical spreads to keep risk controlled. These aren’t hypothetical returns or backtested examples. They’re real traders, executing real trades, using the same structure and discipline we focus on every day inside Masters in Trading LIVE. Huge congratulations to everyone who managed the BHP trade to profits! This is exactly what consistency looks like when thesis, timing, and risk management line up.
