90% of My Winners Close Automatically — Here's How I Find Them While most traders are chasing stocks that are already moving — paying premium prices for options on momentum plays — I've been doing the exact opposite. I'm hunting down the most boring, sideways, dead-looking charts in the market. These setups have been delivering an 85.7%* win rate across 103 total trades including the beta testing I did with a live group of traders, with about 90% of those winners closing automatically at profit targets. Take a look at this win rate… I’ll be live at 1 p.m. ET to go into more detail than I can here, but this isn't luck. It's the product of systematically identifying stocks trapped in tight consolidation patterns — what I call pinch points — areas where options are dirt cheap and even a small move can trigger an outsized return. To understand why these zones matter, picture the phases every instrument goes through as it cycles from accumulation to markup, then distribution to markdown. Take a look at this chart, this is called a market cycle pattern. Pinch points often form right at the transitions, when price compresses before energy gets released, and that's where the edge comes from. Why Boring Charts Beat Momentum Trades Think about what happens when a stock is already ripping. It looks exciting, but the option prices are inflated, which means you're paying a high premium and usually getting less bang for your buck. Now compare that to a stock that's been stuck in a tight range. Nobody cares about it. The chart looks dead. But that's exactly where opportunity hides. When a stock trades sideways long enough, implied volatility collapses and you can buy options at basement prices right before the stock decides to move. Here's an example that happened on NextEra Energy (NEE). It sat in a narrow range long enough for traders to ignore it entirely. But once it finally broke above resistance, it made a fast, clean run that delivered exactly the kind of move these consolidations are known for. I've seen this with countless setups. One stock recently sat in about a $2 range around $10.50 for weeks. As soon as it broke out, it ripped up another $2 in a couple of days, a one-sided parabolic move driven by stop-loss cascades and short covering. How I Find These Setups Automatically The key is consistency, not luck. I've built a scanner that monitors thousands of stocks in real time and filters them into categories based on how tight their consolidation patterns are. It identifies the pinch points forming beneath the surface so I get high-probability direction before the breakout happens. This approach has delivered a profit factor of 4.69 so far. The average winner lands around 30%, and most trades hit their targets automatically. Right now I'm even seeing these patterns appear in major indexes like the S&P 500 (SPY), the Dow (DIA) and the Russell 2000 (IWM) — something that usually precedes big market moves. The market always rewards patience. And right now, the most boring charts might be gearing up for the most explosive moves we've seen in months. If you want to see how this works in real time, then join me at a p.m. ET! I’ll see you in the markets. *We develop tools and strategies to the best of our ability, but no one can guarantee the future. There is always a risk of loss when trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. While we have been using the Pinch Point Scanner with great success, we cannot guarantee any future results. What you will see today are some of the best examples over the last few months. There were bigger winners, there were smaller winners, and there were losers. Since the Pinch Point Scanner is a tool for traders and not a trading service, profits and performance will vary among users.
