Hey Gang,<\/p>\n

Timing really is everything in this market.<\/p>\n

Yesterday afternoon, my S.A.M. AI Scanner<\/a><\/u><\/strong> was locked onto Deckers Outdoor (DECK).<\/p>\n

While most traders were focused on the broader market volatility, my scanner caught something crucial – DECK needed to close above the open to signal a buyer\u2019s reversal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here was my Profit Surge Trader idea.<\/a><\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

And it did exactly that.<\/p>\n

This morning was the time to pounce.<\/p>\n

The January $210 calls at just $2.10, and by the time most people were finishing their morning coffee, they hit $4.25 – handing us a massive 102% potential gain!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But here’s the thing – this setup isn’t over yet. In fact, what I’m seeing now could lead to an even bigger move.<\/p>\n

And if you missed this morning’s trade, don’t worry. I’m going to show you exactly what my scanner spotted and why there might be another opportunity coming.<\/p>\n

Current Market<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before we dive into DECK’s setup, let’s get real about where we are in the market.<\/p>\n

2024 capped a second year of amazing gains for the S&P 500 and a pretty rare occurrence.<\/p>\n

In fact, the S&P 500 has only had two consecutive years of +20% gains just ten times since 1871. Most of those were in the Roaring Twenties and the 90s tech boom.<\/p>\n

While we could see another breakout year in 2025, it isn\u2019t all that likely.<\/p>\n

Plus, investors aren\u2019t sure where interest rates will land, making it difficult for them to value the market.<\/p>\n

With earnings season about to kick off, many traders are sitting on their hands, waiting to see how things shake out.<\/p>\n

That’s creating some incredible opportunities if you know where to look.<\/p>\n

The key is finding stocks that show relative strength regardless of the broader market noise. And that’s exactly what we have with DECK.<\/p>\n

Why This Stock<\/strong><\/p>\n

DECK has been quietly building one of the cleanest setups I’ve seen in a while.<\/p>\n

Looking at the daily chart, you can see all three components of my TPS setup:<\/p>\n
