Overall Performance and Key Stats

Over two-thirds of alerts reached or exceeded the 50% return mark, with more than 100 trades delivering gains of over 100%. These numbers reflect the strength of our filtering and entry timing in 2024’s fast-moving market.
Profit Target Achievement Summary
Each alert is tracked based on how far it progressed toward four core profit tiers:
Loss (<10%): 19 alerts (11.45%)
Conservative (10–25%): 31 alerts (18.67%)
Moderate (25–50%): 25 alerts (15.06%)

More than half of the alerts crushed the 50% benchmark, with only a small portion falling below 10%. These stats speak to the consistency and selectiveness of Pure Power Picks throughout the year.
*Important to note a Max Gain is highly unlikely for the vast majority of traders and should not be construed as a profitable strategy by any means.

Trends by Expiration Dates: Deep vs. Near Expiration
Expiration timing played a major role in determining how far trades moved:
0–30 Days to Expiration: 14 alerts | Avg Gain: 1.93x
These short-term alerts had limited time to develop and required fast execution. While volatile, many failed to build sustained follow-through.30–90 Days to Expiration: 90 alerts | Avg Gain: 2.32x
The most-used window, this range offered a balance of time value and responsiveness to momentum, making it ideal for our trade structure.90–180 Days to Expiration: 51 alerts | Avg Gain: 3.03x
Longer swing setups with strong trend confirmation performed well here, offering ample room for continuation.180+ Days to Expiration: 11 alerts | Avg Gain: 3.96x
Although fewer in number, long-dated trades saw strong results—often linked to macro themes or high-conviction directional plays.
Price Range Trends: Identifying High-Return Strike Price Ranges
Strike price selection strongly correlated with trade results:
$0–$20 Strike: 24 alerts | Avg Gain: 223.51%
$20–$50 Strike: 34 alerts | Avg Gain: 170.76%
$50–$100 Strike: 43 alerts | Avg Gain: 189.15%
$100–$200 Strike: 37 alerts | Avg Gain: 223.19%
$200+ Strike: 28 alerts | Avg Gain: 357.76%
High-priced contracts ($200+) once again led in overall average gain, but mid-range strikes in the $50–$100 and $100–$200 buckets also delivered consistent wins.
Sector Insights and Patterns
Sector rotation, macro catalysts, and earnings season had a significant impact on which types of trades led the year:
Technology: The top performer by far, tech names like TSLA, AMD, and NVDA fueled massive wins with multiple triple-digit moves.
Financials: COIN, SPY, and IWM-based alerts performed well on macro policy shifts and volatility spikes, offering trend-based and reversal setups alike.
Consumer Discretionary: Names like CMG and TGT showed strength during seasonal rotations and earnings volatility. These trades tended to build slowly and break out rapidly.
Energy & Commodities: OXY, SLB, and XLE-type plays proved valuable when oil and global demand themes became dominant. Several alerts in this space reached 2–3x gains.
Sector diversity remained essential, with each segment contributing at different points of the year. Being nimble with watchlists and responsive to sector leadership was key to capturing the year’s biggest wins.
Analysis of Low-Performing Alerts (Under 20% Gains)
Even in a strong year, 40 alerts (24.1%) fell short of the 20% threshold. By analyzing these trades, we find patterns worth noting.
Expiration Window Trends
30–90 Days: 21 low performers (52.5%)
0–30 Days: 10 alerts (25.0%)
90–180 Days: 6 alerts (15.0%)
180+ Days: 3 alerts (7.5%)
Short- and mid-term options made up most of the low-performing trades, often tied to failed breakouts or choppy sentiment around earnings or macro events.
Strike Price Range Trends
$50–$100: 12 alerts (30.0%)
$100–$200: 10 alerts (25.0%)
$20–$50: 7 alerts (17.5%)
$0–$20: 6 alerts (15.0%)
$200+: 5 alerts (12.5%)
While high-strike contracts offered the best returns, they also carried some underperformance—likely due to bid/ask spread issues or rapid reversals. The $50–$200 range contained the bulk of flat trades, indicating more selective entry signals are needed here.
Sector Trends in Low Performers
Technology: 4 trades under 20%
Financials: 2 trades
Discretionary: 1 trade
The majority of low performers came from tech names, which aligns with that sector’s increased volatility. It reinforces the need to scale appropriately and manage trades proactively when chasing explosive setups.
Conclusion: Key Insights and Strategies for 2024 Alert Success
1. Strike Price Matters
Higher strike options continue to yield the biggest winners—but only when paired with clear market momentum and liquid setups. Focus on context, not just price.
2. Expiration Selection Drives Outcome
The 30–90 day expiration window offered the most consistent results, while longer-dated contracts produced the highest average gains. Short-term trades were hit-or-miss, requiring sharper entries and exits.
3. Sector Awareness Boosts Performance
Technology stocks offered explosive opportunity but demanded tactical management. Meanwhile, financials and commodities offered steadier setups ideal for swing trades.
4. Risk Management Remains the Edge
With fewer than 12% of alerts failing outright and 54% gaining 50% or more, this year showed how consistency and discipline outperform volume-based trading.
5. Refine Entry Timing in the Middle Zone
Most low-performing trades came from the mid-price strike range ($50–$200). Improving confirmation before entry in these names could meaningfully boost success rates.
