We just locked in another massive winner…
On August 7, I alerted a trade on CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV), the $100 calls with an expiration of 9/18.
This is what happened after we entered the trade…
Our contracts exploded in value on August 12… and we still have more than a month to let the setup ride.
Here’s the alert I sent on August 12, after the spike:
“I recommend taking 30-50% off at some point today, still A LOT of time to hit our target but much better to be free rolling!”
When our contracts surge +100%, I always advise traders to lock in gains and let the rest of the position ride.
When we cover the cost of our entry, everything that’s left is an added bonus. And with short-dated contracts, there’s no telling how high they could spike…
How It Started
In July, a prominent AI and tech hedge fund called Situational Awareness (no pun intended) lost $35 billion.
Leopold Aschenbrenner was fired from OpenAI in 2024 and wrote a 165-page essay about artificial intelligence. His argument was simple. Smarter models need more chips, more memory, more power, and more data centers. And he built a fund on the idea, calling it Situational Awareness.
The fund grew to $45 billion in leveraged positions by 2026, and Aschenbrenner posted gains north of 1,000% in two years.
Then July came…
AI infrastructure stocks rolled over as investors started asking, “when does all this AI spending turn into revenue?”
Aschenbrenner used as much as 400% leverage on his hedge fund positions.
And when the tech market stumbled in July, his positions imploded.
His long bets fell, while his short bets against software names like Adobe went the wrong way at the same time.
Both sides of the setup collapsed at once.
And CRWV was one of the stocks caught in the crossfire.
My Trade Setup
Here’s the alert I sent on Friday, August 7:
The selloff in July was unavoidable due to Aschenbrenner’s poor investment practices.
Let that be a lesson to you: don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose.
Instead of using 400% leverage, I trade setups that can gain 400%…
And that’s the exact setup I saw forming on CRWV.
The Situational Awareness fumble was an institutional blip, one that doesn’t actually reflect poorly on CRWV. The stock got caught in momentary bearish sentiment and followed the tech sector lower.
After the selloff, the shares were more attractive because of the lower price…
I expected traders and investors to jump back into this stock, pushing it higher over the next few weeks
And the earnings announcement on August 12 gave us a strong tailwind: the second-quarter data revealed that CRWV’s revenue doubled, driven by surging demand from hyperscalers for AI compute capacity.
- The company reported $2.6 billion in revenue, up 112% from $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
Don’t get it twisted… I didn’t know what the earnings data would be or how the market would react.
I was simply playing the overdone selloff due to Situational Awareness, and I picked one of the strongest stocks of the bunch.
Learn This Process
When a $45 billion fund unwinds its 400% leverage, it doesn’t just sell the bad stocks. It sells everything. Including the strongest names in the portfolio.
That doesn’t mean there’s a fundamental issue with the stock. It’s a forced liquidation.
And forced liquidations create inefficiencies…
My job is to find the gap between what the market is forced to accept and the actual value of the stock.
Situational Awareness handed us that gap on a silver platter.
I took the calls, the market caught up five days later, and we took gains off the table with a month of runway still on the contracts.
But here’s what I want you to understand: that gap doesn’t always take days or weeks to catch up. Sometimes it moves overnight.
That’s the whole idea behind my 24-hour trade setups.
- It’s the same read on the institutional flow.
- The same hunt for irrational trading.
- All compressed into a single session.
We enter in the afternoon and exit the next morning.
No weekend gap risk, no waiting a month for a thesis to play out, no sitting through the drawdown while you wonder if you were right.
I spent over two decades working for hedge funds, learning how money actually moves in the market. Now I use that experience to find… the setups that are mispriced today and corrected tomorrow.

Stop watching from the sidelines. There are new trade setups every week in this market.
