Trade of the Day Wake-Up Watchlist

"Post-earnings setups like DDOG can lead to big gains on the AFTERSHOCK."

We're now in 2026. and before I get back into the swing for the 2026 trading year, I'm recapping one of my biggest watchlist winners from 2025.

This was a simply call option on DataDog (DDOG).

Back in November, I wrote about how DDOG was screaming "buy" after its latest earnings beat.

I believed the AI group had more room to run, and I was looking for a break closer to all-time highs around $200.

So I got positioned on in both Daily Profits Live and Profit Surge Trader.

 

I held over the weekend to wait for the next surge to happen on Monday.

And three trading days later – that AFTERSHOCK move came in a big way.

DDOG shot up to $198 from $192 after the opening bell, inching closer to its all-time highs. It would later cross the $200 mark by lunchtime.

The Daily Profits chatroom was electric, and I ended up closing a 300% winner in 3 trading days.

 

This DDOG move is a perfect example of a "post-earnings AFTERSHOCK."

Check out the "before" chart below after DDOG reported earnings.

 

Now look at the post-earnings surge 3 days later on Monday.

 

I know it sounds too simple, but all you have to do on these post-earnings trades is ride established momentum.

Several Daily Profits Live members were also in on this trade.

Here's what they had to say…

"I scaled out my 2 DDOG options @$75 for 102% and @$85 for 129% gain. Thank you NB – David Mc45

"Out of my 1 DDOG at 100%" – CALinPgh

"DDOG in 120 out 2.3 on 11/21 210's. Thanks Nate." – Doug65

As a watchlist subscriber who also had intel on play, I must ask… did you catch this move on DDOG?

If you missed this trade, no worries.

2026 is here, and we have the entire year to find more winners like DDOG.

Bad News About the Bitcoin Reserve

Former Presidential Advisor, Jim Rickards is out with a shocking new warning for investors.

“Forget about the Bitcoin Reserve.”

The U.S. Government currently holds $17 billion in Bitcoin.

But Rickards says, “The current Bitcoin Reserve is a rounding error compared to Trump’s next move.”

The reason, he says, is hidden in a recent Executive Order.

“Trump could soon release an asset worth an estimated $150 trillion. That’s enough to buy every Bitcoin in existence… along with a 100% stake in every stock traded on the NASDAQ and EVERY private home in the U.S.”

We recently sat down with Rickards – a 50-year insider who’s worked with several administrations from Nixon to Reagan to Trump – and asked him to explain his theory in detail.

If you’re an investor, you’re not going to want to miss this.

And you can still make up to 300% in less than a few hours.
