TSLL: The Gift That Keeps Giving With High Beta and Weekly Cash Flow

Jack Carter | January 8, 2026

There’s something beautiful about a trade that pays you, hands you shares at a discount and then pays you again before you even finish your coffee. That’s exactly what happened with Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares (TSLL) last week — and I’ve got to walk you through it because this is the kind of […]

How I’m Pulling Cash Out of TSLL (While Letting Tesla Do the Heavy Lifting)

Jack Carter | October 7, 2025

Hey traders, I put on a simple income trade today and I want to walk you through it — the “what,“ the “why,“ and the “what if.“ TSLL is a 2x leveraged Tesla ETF. That just means it tends to move about twice as much as TSLA. If Tesla drops 4%, TSLL will be roughly […]

Why Volatility Is an Option Seller’s Best Friend

Jack Carter | August 18, 2025

Hey traders, A lot of folks get nervous when the market starts whipping around. Big swings… scary headlines… Powell opening his mouth at Jackson Hole… All of it can rattle you if you don’t have a plan. But here’s the truth: The more volatile a market gets, the juicier the options get. And when you’re […]

How I’ve Been “Cheating” With My Trades Lately

Jack Carter | August 5, 2025

Hey Traders, I’ve gotta confess something… Lately, I’ve kind of been cheating. Now don’t worry — I’m not doing anything shady. But I’ve been using a little AI tool that gives me what I’d call an unfair advantage in the market. And honestly? I can’t believe how well it’s working. I’ve been using this tool […]

Why Most Option Buyers Lose — Even When They’re Right

Jack Carter | July 31, 2025

Hey Traders, I just read another study…Same conclusion as all the others: 95% of option buyers lose money at expiration. Let that sink in. Even when they’re right about the direction of the stock — most options buyers still end up losing money. And if that stat doesn’t wake you up, I don’t know what […]

I’ll take the trade that’s already working, thanks.

Jack Carter | July 30, 2025

The other day I was on Profit Panel with Jeffry Turnmire — real sharp guy. He’s great at calling tops and bottoms. But I don’t trade like that. After 40+ years of doing this, I’ve learned that trying to guess turning points is a fast way to get run over. I’d rather jump on a […]

Why I Don’t Waste Time Trying to Call a Bottom

Jack Carter | July 29, 2025

Hey Traders, I’ve mentioned this to you a lot before. I don’t mean to sound repetitive, but it’s at the core of everything I do: Before I ever put on a trade, I check the three big indices: SPY, QQQ, and DIA. I want to know what the market is doing — because if all […]

Getting Paid for What Doesn’t Happen

Jack Carter | July 23, 2025

On Monday, I showed you how I survive big market moves by trading with the trend, not against it. But today, I want to show you something a little different. See, most traders are always looking for “what’s going to happen next.” They want to predict a breakout. Or catch the next crash. Or call […]

Getting Paid… Even If the Stock Drops!

Jack Carter | July 11, 2025

Hey Traders, So far this week, I’ve shown you two ways I structure my trades to win even when I’m wrong. Monday we talked about how I get paid to be wrong. And then on WednesdayI showed you the trade that pays me to say “Sure, I’ll buy it”. Today, I want to close out […]

Jack Carter | July 9, 2025

Hey Traders, On Monday, I showed you how I get paid to be wrong using credit spreads — a way to structure trades that gives me 3 out of 4 ways to win. Today, I want to show you another trade that flips the usual script… Because instead of buying something and hoping it works […]
