Revisiting My Amazon Earnings Play and Why Leverage Beats Options During an IV Crush

Ever wondered why a trade that looks risky ends up being the smarter move once the dust settles?

Today I'm breaking down my Amazon earnings play and why avoiding options during an implied volatility (IV) crush kept me from a massive hit.

Most traders chased calls, but I chose a leveraged ETF instead because I wanted room to survive the pullback and position for the bigger pattern developing underneath the volatility.

If you want to understand how timing, leverage and structure all came together on this setup, you'll want to see the full breakdown.

Catch the deeper explanation and see why this approach could help you navigate volatile earnings moves with far more confidence.

Dive in now and get a clearer view of how strategic patience big pays.

Why Smart Traders Keep Close Tabs on the CBOE
 
 
Stalking the CBOE will always be a net positive.

I keep my eyes peeled for updates, adjustments, and new developments because with each change, there's opportunity.

For example: Thanks to this simple document…

 
 
An official announcement document from Cboe (Chicago Board Options Exchange) regarding the listing of SPXW Tuesday and Thursday expiring weekly options. The document includes the Cboe logo at the top left, a reference ID, and sections detailing the overview, listing opportunities, and additional contact information for the Cboe Operations Support Center.
I've been using an options-trading algorithm that's completely altered how I approach the markets...

This algorithm finds opportunities for 50% gains — or more — in just 60 minutes… 

And not just once a day but up to 10 TIMES EVERY SINGLE DAY!

 
 
Three stacked promotional graphics against a dark background, each featuring a green mountain-style trend line and a bold white arrow pointing upward. From top to bottom, the banners display text for a "53% GAIN IN 24 MINUTES," a "73% GAIN IN 11 MINUTES," and a "116% GAIN IN 20 MINUTES."
Granted, there were smaller wins and those that did not work out, but this isn't a one-off occurrence. It's what I've been seeing consistently for months.

The secret? Focusing on just three tickers at a time.

These options are so sensitive to price changes that even tiny moves can lead to significant gains.

And while I can’t promise future returns or against losses, I’ve put together a short rundown of how you can start using them to take advantage of these tiny shifts in the market.

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. From 7/10/24 - 1/12/26 the result was a 74% win rate with an average hold time of less than 24 hours on the underlying stock

Today’s Daily Chart Setup: Maxeon Solar Technologies (MAXN)  
 
 
A daily candlestick price chart for MAXN over a daily time frame, displayed on a light gray grid with a blue border. The chart features green (bullish) and red (bearish) candles, with a blue "High" arrow pointing to a significant peak in late January 2026 and a blue "Low" arrow pointing to a recent trough at the end of the month. An orange-shaded trend channel slopes gradually downward across the middle of the price action.
 

This idea came directly from my Daily Chart Setup that automatically signals potential plays. 
 
MAXN is a new potential entry. Target: 4.8 Stop below: 1.46
MAXN has a historical win rate of 75.0%
MAXN has a profit factor of 2.4
MAXN trades last 29 trading days on average over 4 trades since 2020.

How the Daily Chart Setup Works

Here’s a more detailed description of how the pattern triggers:

        1. The price breaks upward through the orange Market         Roadmap line. 

        2. Then the price goes up and down while staying above the         line. Eventually, it comes down to touch the line again — this         could take days, weeks or even months. 

        3. Once it touches the line and starts moving back up, that         signals an entry. 

I use Fibonacci levels for for profit targets and stop losses, and these two tools combined have helped me achieve a 77% win rate over the past six-plus years!
