Hey Gang,

Markets have been brutal lately.

If you have turned on the news, looked at your portfolio, or checked social media at all, you know what I’m talking about.

The VIX has spiked, big tech stocks have taken a beating, and we’re seeing red across the board.

But here’s what keeps me calm when markets go crazy: my strategy works regardless of what the broader market is doing.

In fact, since January, I’ve won over 88% of the trades I’ve taken in Profit Surge Trader this year.

Remember that CBOE trade I mentioned last week on March 4th?

The stock closed that day at $211.32, and today it hit a high of $220.63 – holding strong while the rest of the market tumbled.

That’s a perfect example of how my TPS strategy can find winners even in challenging markets.

And today, my S.A.M AI Scanner just flagged another stock that’s showing incredible relative strength: Tyson Foods (TSN).

Now, this isn’t a stock I typically trade because of its low volatility. But when my scanner lights up with multiple A+ signals while everything else is crashing, I pay attention.

Before we dive into the details of this setup, let’s take a look at what’s happening in the broader market.

Lay of the Land

Let me address the obvious: Markets are close to or in a correction, which is a decline of 10%-20%.

At 20%, we officially hit a bear market.

As I write this, the S&P 500 is down 9.75% from its recent high.

The NASDAQ Composite index is down 14.42% from its highs, while the NASDAQ 100 is down 13.14%.

Pundits are blaming tariffs. That’s certainly part of it.

But we also need some perspective.

Remember, we had two back-to-back years of nearly 30% gains in the S&P 500. That’s huge!

Markets move in cycles. Corrections happen.

We always need to be prepared for one.

That’s why I focus so heavily on applying my TPS setup to the right sector and the right stocks.

Because, if you are always ‘playing’ the tickers with the same patterns, they’ll act the same unless you get a complete market meltdown.

And when that happens, which is rare, you can just wait it out.

For now, there is still a disconnect between tech stocks and safety plays.

That’s why I like Tyson.

Tyson Foods (TSN)

When most traders think of exciting stocks to trade, food companies like Tyson rarely make the list. That’s because they typically have lower volatility compared to high-flying tech stocks or speculative plays.

But that’s exactly what makes TSN so appealing right now.

When markets get volatile, investors often rotate out of high-risk growth stocks and into more stable companies that provide essential goods – what we call “defensive stocks.”

Food producers like Tyson fit this category perfectly because they sell products people need regardless of economic conditions.

This flight to safety is why we’re seeing unusual strength in TSN and stocks in the XLP Consumer Staples ETF while the broader market tumbles.

My scanner picked up on this rotation before most traders even noticed it was happening.

When my scanner shows multiple A+ readings across different timeframes like we see below…

…it’s telling me something important – this stock has momentum that others lack, even if that momentum is more measured and controlled than what we see in more volatile names.

Take a look at the daily chart:

This is a textbook TPS setup with all three components perfectly aligned:

• Trend – There’s a strong uptrend that started back in January and has continued building momentum even as the broader market has faltered.
• Pattern – Notice the clean consolidation pattern forming at the highs. This tells me there’s very little selling pressure despite the broader market weakness.
• Squeeze – At the bottom of the chart, we have a beautiful squeeze forming. This volatility compression often precedes explosive moves, which is precisely what we want to see.

We also have stacked exponential moving averages with the 8-period above the 21-period, which is above the 55-period.

Plus, you see how the histogram at the bottom is rising? That’s an indication of bullish momentum.

Executing the Trade

For this particular setup, I’m looking at options with at least 30 days until expiration to give this trade enough time to work through any additional market volatility.

The company reports earnings on May 5. While I could buy options that expire after that earnings date, I definitely want to be out of the trade before then. Holding options through earnings is too much of a gamble for me.

Given the volatility in the broader market, I recommend taking smaller positions than usual. Remember, it’s about preserving capital first, then making money second.

This trade should take about 1-2 weeks to play out if the setup continues to develop as expected.

Navigating Market Volatility With Confidence

During times like these, most traders make one of two mistakes:

1. They freeze up entirely and miss good opportunities
2. They jump into trades without a clear strategy, hoping to catch a bottom

But there’s a third option – trading with a proven system that works in ALL market conditions.

That’s exactly why I created Profit Surge Trader. It’s designed to help you confidently and precisely navigate even the most challenging markets.

While other traders are paralyzed by fear or making emotion-based decisions, my community is methodically identifying high-probability setups and executing trades with clear risk parameters.

The TSN trade I just shared is exactly the kind of opportunity we focus on – setups with multiple technical confirmations that show relative strength even during broad market weakness.
