I’ve placed roughly 250 trades in my Daily Profits Live service, winning nearly 63% of the time. Over 20 trades surpassed profits of more than 100% in names like AMD, SMCI, Netflix, and NVIDIA.

But you know what?

From last October to the end of March, the market was in a clear uptrend…a swing trader’s paradise.

However, the market has stalled. Despite all my success, I would be foolish to think the same playbook would work in this choppy market.

That’s why when I got on the mic this morning in my Daily Profits Live chatroom, I spent a good chunk of that time sharing with my subscribers my thoughts on the current market and the changes I plan on making to my trading.

And today, I want to share some of those thoughts with you…

The Moves Have Been Inconsistent Lately

After a strong uptrend, the Nasdaq has been stalling. While I’m not ready to start shorting, I have taken my foot off the gas and become more selective.

A whippy market can be tricky for an options trader. If the overall market chops around, it kills the options premium. Which makes it a challenging environment for swing trading.

For example, I love the chart in Applied Materials (AMAT), but if the Nasdaq just whips around, AMAT is likely to do the same, and if you are long calls, the theta decay will eat away at those options.

So, how do you overcome a choppy market?

I’m Going To Focus More On Spread Trades

If you don’t trade call or put spreads, now is the time to consider them.

Why?

Because theta decay plays a less significant role, not only that but when you trade a spread, it brings down the cost of the options.

For example, let’s say I liked the ticker symbol MCK. At the time of this writing, it was trading around $527. You could buy the April 19, $530 calls for $5.50. But if the market continues to be inconsistent, that premium will get crushed.

On the other hand, you can consider buying the $530 calls and selling the $540 calls against them.

This spread would run you around $3.30 in premium…which is significantly cheaper than buying the outright calls.

Of course, these are not the sexiest trades, but they will give you staying power in a choppy market while giving you a chance to profit.

I review spread trades in more detail in my Daily Profits Live room, where subscribers can ask questions and participate.

In addition, I told Daily Profits subscribers to consider:

• Setting stop losses on their option trades.
• Decrease position size
• Be more selective, focusing on A+ Setups.

Let the market guide you. If the overall market is weak, despite how strong their charts look, stocks will find it harder to rally.

That’s why it’s critical to trade what you see and not feel.

Of course, with sentiment changing so quickly, it’s easy to let your emotions get the best of you. That’s why I’m live five days a week (sometimes twice a day) in my Daily Profits Live room, helping members make sense of it all while showing them how I’m trading in real-time.
