It loses often. It wins anyway. Here is how.

It is not a secret or a promise: it is math. These are the numbers from the backtest we publish, looked at trade by trade.

1. What it does every Monday

It buys call options on the tech stocks that have been rising the most, with a target price 10% above the current one and about 5 to 7 weeks to expiration. It uses a small part of the capital (5% per week) and does not sell early: it waits for expiration.

A call is the right to buy the stock at a fixed price. If the stock does not reach that price, the call expires worthless and you lose what it cost. If it goes past it, the call is worth the difference. The maximum loss is what you paid; the gain has no ceiling.

2. How far the stock has to move

An example with round numbers: the stock is at $100, the call has a $110 target price and costs $2 per share ($200 per contract).

The values are illustrative; the real price of each call depends on the stock and the moment.

Is it rare for a stock to rise more than 10% in a month? Less than it seems. In the month before October 2, 2026, 28 of the 101 Nasdaq-100 stocks rose more than 10%, 16 more than 20% and 7 more than 30%. That was a good month; in bad months almost none do. What nobody knows in advance is which ones it will be. That is why the bot does not pick one: it buys several, every week.

3. Out of every 100 trades

The backtest had 641 trades in 5.7 years. Only 156 won. But of those, 140 doubled or more, 75 multiplied by 5 or more and 31 by 10 or more. The best one multiplied by 28.1.

4. Where the profit is

In total $345,714 was paid in premiums and $579,139 was collected: $1.68 for every dollar put in. A few very large trades pay for all the small ones that are lost, with plenty to spare.

That is why the bot does not sell when a position is ahead: the ones that make the difference are exactly the ones left to run to the end. It is also why weeks should not be skipped: nobody knows which Monday buys the one that multiplies by 20.

It does not depend on a single stock: 18 of the 32 in the universe ended with a profit. The three best were MU (+$75,770), AVGO (+$39,633), KLAC (+$31,820).

5. What you have to sit through

This is the cost of the strategy, and it is worth knowing before you start:

The first two years of the backtest ended down. Anyone who quit there missed everything that came after:

The bot has a brake: when the Nasdaq is below its 200-day average, it does not buy. In the backtest that happened in 65 of 298 weeks. It reduces the damage in bear markets; it does not remove it.

6. The result

In short

• It loses often and small: each trade risks only what the premium cost.
• It wins rarely and big: one in four wins, and some multiply by 10 or more.
• It does not guess: it buys the strongest ones, every week, and lets time do the rest.
• It demands patience: there are entire months in the red. The bot goes through them without hesitating; that is its edge over trading by hand.
