Fisker, AMC, Coli coin, and several more shyt coins and penny stocks.

Those are pure degen lotto plays — no real analysis, just FOMO. That’s not what we’re doing here. We’re studying charts, analyzing order flow, and doing proper due diligence to find setups actually worth buying into.

When I evaluate swing trades, I focus on key indicators like the 200 EMA on both the 4-hour and daily charts. I assess future outlooks, recent earnings performance, and overall market sentiment. RSI, MACD, BB bands, you name it. I look into everything.

Take TSLA, for example — what’s the current order flow telling us? Can it break above $350, a key psychological level? Are there any catalysts lined up before the options expiry? Where’s the liquidity? Where was major support? Is the bullish trend sustainable, or are we seeing signs of reversal?

There are a lot of moving parts. Swings aren’t easy, especially in this current market environment. One comment from Trump can derail an entire trend. That’s why we keep studying, keep adapting, and never stop refining our process.

Before Trump’s tariff talk, swing trading was my bread and butter. I day traded small caps and spy/qqq But I’ve adapted. I pulled back from swinging due to how those policies shook the market. But we feel it's back.

Last year was a great year for swings. I banked pretty much every day. Hope we get to that bullish zone again. It's been great so far past 3-4 weeks or so.

This is an important message — especially for those new to challenges like this.

It’s never a straight shot up. The journey comes in waves. We can’t control outside noise — bad press, Trump, war, you name it. That’s exactly why Nilly isn’t out here throwing 10 contracts and risking $1,000 on one play. It’s more like 2 contracts here, 2 there — managing risk smartly.

With $2,000, we might dip to $1,750 after a bad trade. Then maybe $1,500 if the next setup doesn’t pan out. That’s part of the game. Like Dawg says: trust the process.

We don’t pick random stocks. Every setup is carefully analyzed — we only take trades with high probability. Say we go with TSLA calls. The technicals might look perfect. But one weird comment from Elon, one random news headline — momentum can flip in an instant.

This is why patience is everything. Nilly’s run this challenge before — and he’s crushed it. But it always comes with ups and downs. Once we build a cushion — say we turn $2K into $2.5K — then he’ll size up to push to the next level. Things get really fun if it gets to $3000 with a bigger cushion.

Bottom line: Trust the process. Respect the risk. Stay patient.

and for those who has never bought and sold options, this coming week is your chance to paper trade and learn the mechanics. Don't be clicking on puts when Nilly said Call.

I’m in the group and I got webull. Do you have a quick rundown on how to do options on there? Just familiar with robin.

All from my bad takes on sports. Go look me up in Boiler Room stock thread.
:mjlol: the rep comment is hilarious, but FabTrey definitely on his shyt in the Boiler Room. Long term and short term.
HOW TO BUY OPTIONS ON ROBINHOOD (FOR THE $2K CHALLENGE)
For those who never even had a robinhood or webull - this is for you.

Nilly’s gonna be calling the shots, but YOU gotta know how to actually enter the plays.


Here’s how to do it on Robinhood. I recommend Robinhood because it's the easiest platform. Super simple. Just follow along:




1. TURN ON OPTIONS TRADING
If you’ve never traded options on Robinhood before:
Open the app → Tap the little person icon (bottom right) → Settings → Options Trading → Turn it ON.
Robinhood might ask you a few questions and approve you pretty quick.




2. SEARCH THE STOCK WE’RE TRADING
Let’s say Nilly alerts:
🚨 “TSLA July 19th 600C @ $1.50, 2 contracts”


Search TSLA in the app → Tap it.




3. TAP “Trade” → THEN “Trade Options”
This opens up the options chain. You’re in the right spot.




4. PICK THE RIGHT EXPIRATION DATE
In this case, he said July 19th — so scroll and tap July 19 at the top.




5. PICK THE RIGHT STRIKE & TYPE (CALL or PUT)
He said 600C, which means:

  • Strike = 600
  • C = Call (we’re betting it goes UP)

So scroll down, find the $600 Call row, and tap it.




6. SET UP YOUR ORDER

Hit Buy, change “1” to 2 contracts (because he said 2).
Make sure it’s a limit order, not market.
Type in the price he called ($1.50 in this case).
Review → Swipe up to confirm.


Remember:
$1.50 = $150 per contract
2 contracts = $300
So you’re only risking $300 of your $2,000 — so don't be buying 10 contracts. you gonna blow your account before even started if things go wrong.




7. YOU’RE IN. NOW WAIT FOR THE EXIT ALERT.
You’ll get another ping like:
✅ “TSLA 600C → sold at $2.30”
That means it went from $1.50 to $2.30 (you made $160). Congrats.




IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

  • Don’t freestyle. Just follow Nilly’s alerts.
  • Don’t buy more than what’s called. If he says 2 contracts, don’t get cute with 5. This is the most important part IMO.
  • Don’t chase. If the price already ran way past the alert, skip it. There will be more.
  • Keep your risk tight. We’re playing smart, not trying to blow up.
If brehs got money to play with and FabTrey gonna simplify shyt like this......brehs should definitely try it out.



Unless you have a impulsive, addictive, chaser personality :huhldup:stay from options at all cost. shyt will burn a hole thru your checking account in 4 days flat. Emotional brehs need not apply

Yes, there's no place for gambling mentality in option trading. Market will humble you fast.

But many of you guys are new, so just follow analyst's instructions.

Nilly will tell you what to buy at what price, stop-loss and when to sell.

Just follow the rules.

Ah, I missed your question earlier — no, we’re not doing that. Selling naked calls requires a margin account. We’re just buying and selling calls and puts.

Any automatic fees for switching your account to options trading on Robinhood?

I did make close to $200 last week following Bowie's alerts.

@FabTrey , whats the purpose of this though? And dont say out of the kindness of your heart. Are yall trying to get enough members/results and then start charging monthly fees? :patrice:

We’ll likely introduce a monthly fee when the time feels right. My priority is keeping Bowie and the crew happy—if they aren’t compensated, there’s a good chance other Discord groups will try to recruit them. They are happy because we are growing, but in the end I wont have any bargaining power if somebody decides to pay him a good money.

If the $2K challenge goes well and everyone profits, we believe most of you will be open to a small monthly fee. Rest assured, it won’t be expensive compared to other discord.
