Didn’t think I’d be saying this less than a year in — I went from watching Sean’s interview with @Stephen_Trades1 trying to decide if I was ready to take the leap, to being in the video myself.
Can’t thank Sean, Stephen, and @artisanwill12 enough — you’ve all had a real impact on my trading journey.
This is only the beginning.
My student turned $10k into $100k at 21 in a few months..
I sat down with him, to ask how he did it?
Biggest lessons:
-Waiting for your A+ setups
-Sizing a few trades with conviction
-Finding the right mentor

$ASTS trade recap 📈
Here's exactly what I was seeing and why I made the decisions I made on one of my biggest swing trades to date.
My $ASTS $100C 6/18 contracts went from 6.24 → 32.60 for +422% over 6 days.
It started with $RKLB exploding post-earnings the week prior. That move put space stocks on my radar — SpaceX IPO buzz was all over X, the sector was getting real attention, and I started looking for names in the group that hadn't moved yet but were setting up quietly.
$ASTS caught my eye because it was still coiling against its EMAs. No extended move, no breakout — just tightening while the rest of the sector was getting loud. That felt like the right place to focus.
Monday gave me my first real read.
$ASTS gapped up, sold off intraday, then buyers came back in toward close and finished the day above the prior week's high. That close told me the selling wasn't distribution — it looked like a shakeout.
So Tuesday I came in with $ASTS at the top of my watch.
It gapped down slightly and began fading toward the daily 8EMA. I watched for a 15-minute pivot — the first green candle after the push lower, giving me a defined level to trade against. Once that candle's high broke, I entered half size on the $100C 6/18 contracts at 5.75 with a stop at the low of day.
Price flagged, then started pushing higher. When $ASTS reclaimed the prior week's high I added to full size at 6.85. The EMAs held, the key level held, and momentum was turning back up. That was the confirmation I needed.
From there it was about managing the position.
GEX data was showing gamma building at $100 and $105, and call flow was coming into my contracts and newer OTM strikes. That kept me from trimming too aggressively early. I took a light first trim, moved my stop to breakeven, and let it run.
As it pushed toward $130 I started accounting for the ATH overhead and the time left on my June contracts. I closed the remaining half of my position at 30.30 for +385% (unintentionally closing the full position), then added one contract back as a runner and closed that out at 32.60 for +422%. I still wanted exposure to $ASTS with more time on the clock, so I rolled partial profits from the June calls into $ASTS 8/21 $150C.
A few things I took away from this trade:
— When a sector has a real catalyst, look for names that are still setting up quietly rather than the ones already extended
— The 15-minute pivot kept my entry and stop loss structured and defined
— Moving to breakeven early let me hold through the noise without the emotional pressure
— GEX and options flow data gave me the confidence to stay in longer than I normally would have
— Let your runners run as long as your risk is managed — the bigger the base on the setup, the more room the stock has to move
$MRAM trade recap 📈
In a market like this where the leading stocks are so extended, relying on technical analysis alone can mean missing the move entirely. I’ve been layering in options flow as an extra conviction signal — a way of knowing that even if a stock looks stretched on the chart, smart money is still betting it runs further. This is an example of that paying off.
Friday morning I spotted a $124K call sweep on the Jun 18 35C hitting the ask on @BullflowIO . Stock was ~$23.50 — that strike was 50% OTM. Not a hedge. Pure directional conviction.
$MU and $SNDK had gapped up that morning and were holding their opening prices. Classic gap and hold. Too extended to chase, but a clear signal that memory was the place to be. $MRAM was the play.
Pulled up the chart immediately and it was breaking out on high volume in real time. Entered right there — even though the stock had already run from ~$8 to ~$21 in the prior 5 weeks.
My entries:
• 10:24 AM — 30C @ $2.01 — had already seen 30C flow coming in earlier that morning, so that was my primary play. When the 35C sweep hit, 35 strike felt too far OTM so I went with the safer bet first
• 10:28 AM — 35C @ $1.65 — then realized the 35C had been stacking all morning below my $100K filter. Multiple smaller sweeps I hadn’t seen. If they’re buying both strikes with that conviction, I should be in both
• 11:48 AM — Trimmed half the 35C position @ $2.30 as the stock broke above the all-time high at $25.39 — locked in some profit, let the rest ride
Why $MRAM?
• Memory storage is the hottest theme in the market right now — MU and SNDK going parabolic
• Sub-$500M market cap in a sector where names are running to $1B+ — with memory stocks in a full parabolic run driven by AI infrastructure demand, this is exactly that environment
• Just landed a $40M defense subcontract with Amentum for U.S. gov MRAM manufacturing — ~29% of annual revenue, not yet in guidance
• Name buzzing on Twitter all week
• Flow + theme + breakout all aligned at once
Stock closed +25% Friday. AH up another ~40%. Calls up ~600%.
$WULF chart got even tighter on Friday — inside day on very low volume. The last time volume was this low, the next day $WULF popped 16%+ and hit a fresh 52-week high.
$CIFR has a similar look. Both are top watch for me this week.
Despite a weak earnings print and a market pullback, $WULF reclaimed its daily EMAs before most data centers names — reaffirming it as a leader.
With over a 35% short interest on the float, a break through $16 can trigger an explosive squeeze.
Keep an eye on it.

Keep an eye on it.
$WULF loves retesting the 21EMA before every major leg up. Declining volume on the pullback shows sellers are fading.
Earnings Monday could be the spark — watching $15 area for volume confirmation.
Targeting $18+ if momentum returns.
