“Make Earnings Do the Heavy Lifting for You”

Hey Gang,

While many traders got caught in the recent market volatility, I’ve been focused on one stock that’s been an absolute gold mine: OKTA.

Over the past month, this earnings winner has delivered not one, not two, but THREE consecutive winning trades for us in Profit Surge Trader:

  • A quick +25% win on March 4th
  • A +50% win on March 7th
  • A +30% “lotto play” just yesterday
  • And that’s after our initial post-earnings winner!

This is exactly why I focus on earnings winners. They continue to surge long after the announcement, creating what I call the “Earnings Profit Surge.”

It certainly helps having the broader market has been on a tear too, bouncing more than 4.5% from the lows it made on March 13th.

But while most traders are still trying to figure out which direction stocks are heading, we’ve been steadily banking profits on OKTA.

The best part?

This stock isn’t done running yet!

What’s particularly exciting is how these earnings winners create multiple profit opportunities…

…from rapid Opening Bell Aftershocks that can deliver triple-digit gains in minutes…

…to longer multi-week setups that unfold more gradually.

Before I dive into what makes OKTA such a perfect trade setup, let me share how the current market is shaping up.

Current Market

Stocks have made an impressive recovery since hitting a recent bottom on March 13th.

We’ve seen a robust 4.5% bounce in just 13 trading days, creating a much-needed relief rally after the early March turbulence.

What’s interesting about this recovery is how selective it’s been.

While major indexes are pushing higher, the rally hasn’t been evenly distributed across all sectors.

This kind of selective strength creates perfect opportunities for traders who know where to look.

Additionally, volatility has also started to ease. After coming up just shy of 30, the VIX fell as the market skyrocketed.

Today, the VIX is back below 18, putting it inside its historical average trading range.

This decreasing fear factor typically creates a more favorable environment for bullish options plays, especially Opening Bell Aftershocks and the longer continuation patterns that follow strong earnings reports.

Speaking of companies with impressive earnings growth, one stock has consistently outperformed since its last report – OKTA.

This cybersecurity leader has been a perfect example of how post-earnings momentum can create multiple profitable trading opportunities, even in a choppy market environment.

Let me show you why.

Why I Like OKTA (OKTA)

OKTA has been one of my favorite post-earnings, and the charts tell the complete story of why we’ve been able to bank multiple winners from this single stock.

Let’s start by looking at what OKTA has already done for us:

This 30-minute chart reveals the perfect setup that delivered our previous wins.

You can see the trade plan – an ideal entry near $107 with a stop under $103, targeting $114 and $118.

This preparation allowed us to capture those +25%, +50%, and +30% gains in rapid succession.

There were also some incredible Opening Bell Aftershocks opportunities right at 9:30 AM when market makers adjusted to the post-earnings momentum.

And let me tell you, these morning moves can deliver explosive profits in minutes for traders who know exactly what to look for.

Plus, those trades often lead into setups just like this one.

Now, I want you to notice the three critical elements:

  1. Jump on Earnings: OKTA gapped up significantly after its earnings announcement, showing immediate institutional buying interest.
  2. Nice Consolidation Pattern: Instead of immediately pulling back like some earnings winners, OKTA formed a tight consolidation pattern near its highs – a bullish sign that sellers weren’t taking control.
  3. Beautiful Squeeze: Looking at the bottom of the chart, you can see the squeeze indicator showing compression followed by momentum bursts.

The stacked moving averages provided strong support, giving us confidence to execute our plan.

But the story isn’t over. Take a look at our current setup on the 130-minute timeframe:

This is a textbook TPS setup – Trend, Pattern, Squeeze – that’s developing right now:

  • Trend: Notice the strong upward movement labeled “Jump on Earnings” that established a clear bullish trend. Even better, we now have “Stacked Moving Averages” – a powerful bullish indicator where shorter-term averages are above longer-term ones, all pointing upward.
  • Pattern: The “Nice Consolidation Pattern” at the top of the chart shows price compressing into a tight range near the highs – exactly what we want to see after a big earnings move. This tells us that sellers aren’t taking control even after the substantial rally.
  • Squeeze: At the bottom of the chart, the “Beautiful Squeeze” indicator shows compression followed by momentum bursts. This is the key timing indicator that helps us identify when to jump in.

Since we’re using the 130-minute chart for this setup, we’re expecting this pattern to take approximately 2-3 weeks to fully play out. This gives us time for the consolidation to resolve and the next leg higher to develop.

One important note: OKTA is currently sitting very close to its breakout point, which means we need to be particularly careful with our risk management.

I never recommend chasing a stock that’s already broken out – the ideal entry would be on a slight pullback to support while maintaining the overall pattern integrity.

That said, this is exactly the type of post-earnings continuation play that can deliver multiple winning trades from a single earnings report.

How to Catch Even Faster Profits from Earnings Winners

What we’ve seen with OKTA isn’t just a one-off success story – it’s a repeatable strategy that stems from what I call the “Earnings Profit Surge” – the powerful continuation pattern that follows strong earnings announcements.

As profitable as these multi-week setups can be, there’s an even more explosive way to play earnings winners…

…one that can deliver 100%, 200%, or even 300% gains within minutes instead of days or weeks.

I call them Opening Bell Aftershocks – the powerful surges that occur at 9:30 AM following strong earnings announcements.

While our OKTA trades have been fantastic, delivering multiple wins over several weeks, these Opening Bell Aftershocks offer something even more exciting – the chance to quadruple your money in minutes rather than days.

These rapid-fire opportunities happen when a stock dramatically outperforms Wall Street’s expectations by 1.5x or more.

When the opening bell rings the next morning, market makers are forced to adjust rapidly, creating a surge of buying that smart traders can capitalize on.

This is exactly why I created my Opening Bell Aftershocks scanner and strategy – to identify these explosive morning moves before they happen. And I’m offering this powerful tool completely FREE to members of my Profit Surge Trader program.
