Runs during market hours only (9:30am-4pm ET weekdays) — outside that window it reports the market as closed rather than guessing. Takes about 30-60 seconds, then this page updates on its own.
⛔ New entries paused this week — but real setups are still shown below
Hypothetical weekly drawdown is 5.9% (real: $1475.00 in realized losses this week) — at or past the 5% circuit breaker. This isn't "nothing found today": any real setup this session, bullish or bearish, that would otherwise be HOT shows up in the ⏸ PAUSED table below with full real numbers — it's a suggestion to sit out this week, not a reason to hide it. Resets Monday.
This is a recommendation-only report. Nothing here was traded automatically — review it and place any trades yourself on your own broker.

🎯 Exit Strategy — set once, walk away
For every HOT pick, place two orders on your broker right after you buy, both marked
GTC (Good-Til-Cancelled) so they stay active without you watching the position:
1. Stop-Loss (protects the downside from day one)
SELL TO CLOSE, STOP (or stop-limit) order at the Stop price shown in the table above. GTC. This fires automatically if the trade fails, capping the loss — you never have to watch for it.
2. Take-Profit — two ways to run it
Simple: SELL TO CLOSE, LIMIT order at the Target price shown. GTC. Fires automatically once reached, locks in the full computed gain.
Let-it-run version: instead of a flat limit, use a GTC trailing stop-limit order. Set the trail % so it never gives back more than you're comfortable with off the peak price, while letting the position keep running if it moves further than the original target. See the full math (which trail % protects which profit floor) in Exit Strategy in the repo — the short version: an 8% trail won't lock in a floor of at least +10% profit until the position first reaches about +20% gain; a 4% trail locks that floor in earlier (around +15% gain) but is more likely to trigger early on normal day-to-day option price noise. Tighter trail = protects sooner but exits more easily on noise; looser trail = lets it run more but the floor guarantee kicks in later.
Most brokers let you place the stop-loss and take-profit as a single OCO (one-cancels-other) bracket — if one fires, the other cancels automatically. Verify your specific broker supports OCO and trailing stops on options (not just stocks) before relying on it — coverage varies by broker.
WARM picks: no orders to place yet. WARM means a real setup exists but isn't actionable this session (see the reason shown in its row) — nothing to enter or exit until it upgrades to HOT.
This is order-mechanics information, not personalized investment advice — you're deciding your own risk tolerance on the trail %, not this tool.
