Here’s what the desk actually sent in April 2026, with nothing left on the cutting-room floor. 13 alerts went out. 11 of them reached a high of at least +30%, and the average across all 13 landed at a +149% high. The standout idea was HPQ, which printed a +617% high.
This is the full tape, not a highlight reel. We walk through the ideas that worked, the ones that didn’t, and what each one had to teach, because that’s the only kind of look-back worth reading.

A note on timing. This recap is a snapshot as of July 1, 2026. 2 of these 13 contracts, ONDS and PYPL, had not yet reached expiration when we published, so their books are not fully closed. The high and drawdown for those are what had printed through publication, and they can still change until they expire.
How to read this blueprint
What “high” means.The best the contract could have done between the alert and its peak. It is not what any member made and not a result we’re claiming, just the full scope of the opportunity the setup put on the table.
Why we publish the ones that fell short too.You’ll see the ones that fell short right next to the biggest highs. An honest scorecard is the only kind worth keeping. All 2 that fell short are in the full tracker below.
These are educational ideas.Pure Power Picks is an options education service. Every alert is a teaching example for how to read setups and manage risk, never a recommendation to act.

The biggest blueprints of April 2026
Each one started as a watchlist setup with a level to hold and a catalyst we were waiting on. The discipline was in the waiting.

$HPQ HP Inc.
The biggest blueprint of April 2026
+617%
High
// What we sent to members
Potential reversal into higher price. Look for $20 to hold and target 21.50 near term. With time and a breakout over this, further upside targets at $22.05 - 23.50 - 26.05 - 28 for maximum opportunity before expiration. Under $20 look for support at $19.5 under that risk is $17.50.
The idea: Buy Call Options · Strike $21.00 Calls · Exp June 18, 2026 · alerted $1.18/contract
On June 1, 2026, the contract traded as high as $8.46, a +617% high, about 24 trading days after the alert.
The path, honestly: a clean ride; it held above the alert price the whole way to this high, tracking close to the plan.

$WULF Terawulf Inc
49 trading days to a +208% high
+208%
High
// What we sent to members
Potential break out continuation. Look for support short term at $18-17.5 and deeper support 16/15. Target potential impulsive upside into $20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 25+ in the coming days to weeks.
The idea: Buy Call Options · Strike $20.00 Calls · Exp June 18, 2026 · alerted $2.86/contract
On June 16, 2026, the contract traded as high as $8.80, a +208% high, about 49 trading days after the alert.
The path, honestly: a steadier path; the contract’s deepest close was -9% below the alert. Even so, the thesis levels are part of the picture, not just the opening tick.
3
$ROKU Roku Inc.
37 trading days to a +206% high
+206%
High
// What we sent to members
Look for continuation breakout in coming days - weeks. Target a short term move into and over $120. Above that, ROKU does look attractive for bulls and can see impulsive upside with little resistance into $125 - 140 - 150+ in the coming weeks. Use support short term $115 - 110. If this doesn’t hold, the risk is that ROKU falls back into the psych level $100.
The idea: Buy Call Options · Strike $130.00 Calls · Exp June 18, 2026 · alerted $6.20/contract
On June 12, 2026, the contract traded as high as $18.97, a +206% high, about 37 trading days after the alert.
The path, honestly: it wasn’t a straight line; the contract closed as low as -91% below the alert before this high. That’s exactly why each alert is framed as a plan with levels, not just a ticker: the thesis lays out the support zones the idea is built on and the level where it would no longer be valid. With single options this volatile, the drawdown is part of the story, not a footnote.

$WMT Walmart
25 trading days to a +204% high
+204%
High
// What we sent to members
Showing weakness after rejecting the $132 level and closing below key support at $129. The failure to hold above $130 after last week’s breakout attempt suggests distribution at higher levels. A break below $127.30 opens the door for a deeper pullback toward $122-124 range. Deeper targets 119.75 - 116.55 - 115 - 112. Use all time highs as risk at 130 - 135 zone.
The idea: Buy Put Options · Strike $125.00 Puts · Exp June 18, 2026 · alerted $3.95/contract
On June 2, 2026, the contract traded as high as $11.99, a +204% high, about 25 trading days after the alert.
The path, honestly: it wasn’t a straight line; the contract closed as low as -61% below the alert before this high. That’s exactly why each alert is framed as a plan with levels, not just a ticker: the thesis lays out the support zones the idea is built on and the level where it would no longer be valid. With single options this volatile, the drawdown is part of the story, not a footnote.

$BABA Alibaba Group
2 trading days to a +134% high
+134%
High
// What we sent to members
Bullish engulfing on the weekly may signal sign of reversal coming in the near term. A move that builds over $130 can lead to conviction for buyers to target $134 - 140 - 147.5 in the coming days - weeks. With more time, 150 - 160 would bring maximum opportunity before expiration. Under $130, look for support $125 - 120 range.
The idea: Buy Call Options · Strike $150.00 Calls · Exp June 18, 2026 · alerted $3.50/contract
On April 17, 2026, the contract traded as high as $8.20, a +134% high, about 2 trading days after the alert.
The path, honestly: a clean ride; it held above the alert price the whole way to this high, tracking close to the plan.

Fell short
How to read the Max Dip column. The Max Dip is the deepest each contract closed below its alert price before it ever reached its high: a real, sustained daily close, not an intraday wick. Some runs were nearly straight lines, others demanded real conviction: HPQ’s +617% never closed below the alert price at all, and ROKU’s +206% only came after the contract closed down -91%. The high is the best price a contract reached. One caveat on the ones that fell short. This window closes the moment a contract reaches its high, so an idea that peaked early and low shows a small Max Dip even though it kept losing value well after that peak. On a shortfall, a shallow dip is not a mild loss, it only means there was little room to fall before an early top. Read the dip next to the high, never on its own. The dip is exactly why every alert is framed as an educational plan with levels, not just a ticker: the thesis lays out the support zones the idea is built on, the targets it’s aiming for, and the level where it would no longer be valid. With single options this volatile, the full path matters as much as the headline number.
// What didn’t work
And what the ones that fell short teach
A recap that only shows the highlight reel isn’t education, it’s marketing. Here are the 2 ideas that fell short of +30%.
The lesson in almost every shortfall is the same one we teach in the room every week: the setup has to confirm before it means anything. An alert names a level, a trigger, and a point where the idea no longer holds. When the trigger never fires, or the level the whole idea rests on breaks, the setup simply never came together. The discipline that keeps a shortfall small is the same discipline that lets a strong idea run.
$PLTR
PLTR Call That Stalled Out Fell short · +6% high
The idea watched PLTR holding $150 for a push into the $155-156 to $161.45 zone, with a break higher opening $170-180 talk in the coming weeks. The flip side flagged that continued weekly 13ema rejection and a failure to hold $150 could drag price into the lower $140s and under. In April 2026 the call topped out near +6% before fading. The upside confirmation never fully arrived, and the level did most of the talking.
The lesson: The thesis named its own condition: the trade needed PLTR to hold $150 and break the resistance band. Without that confirmation, the setup stayed a maybe rather than a mover.
$PYPL
PYPL Call That Fell Short Fell short · +13% high
The idea centered on PYPL holding $50 after closing two weeks above it, with an expectation of bullish continuation toward $52 to 55, then 57.5, 60, and eventually a $70 supply zone. The alert also flagged earnings due 5/5. In reality the call only reached about +13% before fading, staying well under the +30% mark. The anticipated march through those higher levels did not develop, and the upcoming earnings date sat as a known event risk hanging over the setup.
The lesson: A clean level to hold is a starting condition, not a guarantee of follow-through, and a scheduled earnings date is a reminder that unresolved catalysts can cap how far a thesis travels.
