Charlie Moon’s Live Trade Signal for this trending stock shows 1200%* result!

He released this trade idea yesterday afternoon for AST SpaceMobile Inc. (ASTS), and literally closed it earlier this morning…

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results

It was one of the latest Live Trade Signals Charlie released for his Thursday Blitz Program.

Every Thursday afternoon, Charlie sends out a few 0DTE Live Trade Signals. These are trade ideas for options, whose contracts expire the next day. They’re designed to enter on Thursday afternoon, and exit Friday morning. Each trade signal is a straightforward call and put, where both volatility and profit potential are extremely high.

Charlie provides a breakdown on every 0DTE Live Trade Signal that includes:

  • His reasoning behind each trade signal
  • How to consider setting up each trade
  • Ideal entry and exit points

The craziest part is you can potentially get in on these 0DTE trades with as little as $50—and some of Charlie’s students in his Thursday Blitz Program have reported returns over 602%*!

Want to get Charlie’s next round of 0DTE trade signals?

He recorded this video that explains more about zero-day options, and how his Thursday Blitz Program works.
