Trade Momentum With a Clear, Rule-Based System

I built the Ignition Point Strategy because traders deserve more than vague concepts, hype, or guesses. You need a structured approach you can trust, something that works the same way every day, in any market.

Inside this program, you’ll learn the full momentum framework I use myself, plus the weekly analysis, watchlist, and scanners that help you focus on clean structure instead of noise.

Start with structure. Build confidence. Trade with clarity.

500+ real SwingTraderPro trades tracked since 2020.

88% target-hit win rate across SPY, QQQ, AAPL, AMZN, META, AMD — no cherry-picking.

Fast-Track to Pro

If you want the full course and the advanced tools immediately, you can unlock everything right away. Full details are in the video above.

Full Transparency
Every stat comes from real SwingTraderPro signals — nothing filtered.
500+ swing trades tracked since Jan 2020 across six tickers.
Same rules. Same definitions. No cherry-picking.


How Win Rate Is Calculated
A win means price reached its target before violating the stop. Because the strategy takes profits at each target, a target hit always results in at least a partial win, often a strong one.

A loss means the trade failed to reach any targets and broke structure before momentum confirmed.

Every signal is logged in real time with no curve-fitting and no removal of losing trades. This method mirrors exactly how the strategy is executed, including profit-taking and risk management.


Who This System Is Not For
This is a structured momentum strategy, not gambling. It’s not for anyone who:

• Wants a shortcut or get-rich-quick setup
• Ignores training or skips the rules
• Uses oversized positions to flip small accounts
• Treats trading like a lottery ticket
• Refuses to follow a plan

If you want clarity, consistency, and a repeatable process, you’re in the right place.


Risk and Trade Management Philosophy
Momentum trading only works when risk comes first. This strategy follows strict rules:

• Risk no more than 3 percent of your account per trade
• Lock in profit at every target
• Never let a winner turn into a loser
• Avoid overpaying for options by evaluating expected ROI
• Trade only liquid tickers with reliable momentum
• Enter after the first 30-minute candle or at the market close

These rules protect your account, reduce drawdowns, and keep you aligned with the system’s edge.


Refund Policy Clarity
The monthly subscription can be refunded until you reach the final module. That final module contains the complete breakdown of the strategy’s proprietary entry logic. Once that material is accessed, refunds are no longer available.

These details represent years of development and my core intellectual property, so access to the full strategy is non-refundable.

Stop Trading Blind. Start Trading with Structure.

The Ignition Point Strategy gives you a clear, repeatable roadmap for finding high-probability setups, choosing the right contracts, and managing every trade with precision.

All scanners and watchlists inside the program are built directly in ThinkorSwim, the same professional-grade platform I use every day. Everything is designed to keep you focused on clean structure and real momentum, not noise.

Chase Hot Tips

Jumping on meme stocks, Discord alerts, or a guru’s latest call might feel exciting, but it isn’t trading. It’s reacting to hype and FOMO. Consistent results only come from a proven, repeatable approach.

Information Overload


Endless YouTube videos, news feeds, and crowded charts don’t create clarity — they create hesitation. More noise leads to missed opportunities and preventable mistakes.

Unnecessary and Costly Risks


Without a structured system, traders oversize positions, chase losses, and blow up accounts before they ever build real skill. Risk isn’t controlled, it’s multiplied.

The Ignition Point Strategy eliminates all three by giving you a rules-based roadmap that works in any market.

The Ignition Point Strategy combines complete training with weekly guidance so you don’t just learn the system — you put it into practice in live market conditions.

 🧭 Weekly Market Outlook

Performed on SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF)

Every week begins with structure.
You’ll get a detailed SPY analysis showing exactly how the Ignition Point Strategy sees price action setting up — key levels, trend zones, momentum shifts, and the scenarios most likely to unfold. This gives you a clear plan for how to approach the week and what to watch as the market moves.

The goal is simple: help you understand why price is moving the way it is, and how to apply the strategy confidently in real time.

📋 Weekly Watchlist

A curated list of the market’s strongest momentum names.

Each week, you’ll receive a focused watchlist of tickers that are in the best position to produce clean Ignition Point setups. These are the names already showing strength or developing the structure needed for high-quality trades.

This keeps your attention on the best opportunities, not the loudest tickers on social media or news headlines.

 🎯 Weekly Scanners & Setups

Each week, you’ll use four ThinkorSwim scanners, built specifically for the Ignition Point Strategy, to identify where momentum is building and where structure is confirming.

The scanners filter for:

• Bullish Continuation – strong trends resuming higher
• Bearish Continuation – clean breakdowns with follow-through
• In Buy Zone – reversal setups off meaningful structure
• Momentum Reset – tickers restarting trend after consolidation

When you pair the weekly watchlist with these scanners, you’ll see exactly which names are forming high-quality opportunities.

The weekly setups you receive are not signals. They’re guided examples pulled directly from the watchlist and scanners, showing you how the strategy identifies structure, confirms momentum, and times entries with precision.

By working through these setups each week, you’ll sharpen your execution, build consistency, and learn how to spot trades on your own.

These updates turn your training into action.
Each week you’ll practice the Ignition Point Strategy in real market conditions, sharpening your execution and building confidence through structure.

Alternative: SPY Breaks Out to New Highs, Now Watching for the First Bull Flag

April 19, 20265 min read
Cover Image

📆 DAILY CHART OUTLOOK — SPY

Week of April 20, 2026

The daily chart has now shifted decisively from recovery attempt into full upside expansion.

Last week we were simply watching to see whether price could break the downtrend, hold the 50SMA, and reclaim the 100SMA.

It did all of that, and more.

Price broke the daily downtrend, reclaimed the 100SMA, pushed through prior resistance, and continued higher all week as momentum fully aligned in favor of the bulls.

That means the prior bearish structure is gone, and the market remains on bull flag watch from the same anchor low as last week.

📌 Pattern State

Pattern State: Bull Flag Watch
Pattern Start: 651.06 (4/7 low)
Anchor High: Not yet established
Trigger: Bull flag formation requires price to set the first lower high and lower low while holding above its eventual 38.2% retracement and the 100SMA / prior ATH breakout zone

🔄 Structural Sequence (What Happened)

1️⃣ Monday — Downtrend Break + 100SMA Reclaim

Monday opened weak, but buyers stepped in quickly.

Price rallied hard, broke the daily downtrend, reclaimed the 100SMA, and continued higher into the close.

That confirmed the market was no longer just bouncing, it was actively repairing structure.

It also kept the existing bull flag watch active, with no lower high or lower low forming yet.

2️⃣ Tuesday — Gap Up, New All-Time High

Tuesday markets gapped higher and pushed through the bands, expanding volatility.

That move also set a new all-time high, confirming that bulls had fully reclaimed control of the daily trend.

3️⃣ Wednesday — Gap Fill + Continued Push

Wednesday opened with another small gap up, filled the gap intraday, and then pushed strongly higher back into the bands.

That showed buyers were still willing to defend dips aggressively even after the breakout.

4️⃣ Thursday — Consolidation Begins

Thursday opened higher but spent the day consolidating.

That pause mattered because the average MACD value reclaimed the zero line for the first time since early February, which is an important sign that the daily trend has shifted back toward bullish control.

5️⃣ Friday — Momentum Fully Aligns, First Rejection Appears

Friday opened with another large gap up.

With DMI and MACD now fully aligned, price was able to push back into the bands again.

That move pushed:

  • RSI into overbought territory

  • MFI close to overbought

  • Price into the next upside extension zone

It also produced the first small but real rejection near highs.

That does not mean a pullback must happen immediately, but it does mean a pullback is now clearly in the cards.

📐 Immediate Structure Map

The market is now in upside expansion, but the next important event is the formation of the first actual pullback structure.

Key levels now in play:

Support / Structure

  • Prior ATH breakout zone

  • 100SMA

  • 50SMA

  • Broken daily downtrend line

Overhead / Extension

  • 703.95

  • 711.15

As long as price holds above the new breakout zone and the 100SMA, the bulls remain in control.

🔍 Momentum Context

Momentum is now fully aligned with the upside.

Daily squeeze released upward
MACD reclaimed the zero line
DMI crossed bullish
RSI is now overbought
MFI is approaching overbought

That is a strong trend configuration.

The only caution here is that price is now becoming short-term stretched, which means the next consolidation or pullback is becoming increasingly likely.

⚠️ Important Structural Note

We still do not have a completed bull flag.

The same bull flag watch from last week remains active because price never produced the first lower high and lower low needed to establish the pattern.

That means the market is still in the expansion phase, not the pattern phase.

Because the rally was so strong, the eventual pullback will matter a lot.

The most likely retracement zone for that pullback is the area around:

  • previous ATH resistance

  • the broken downtrend

  • the 50SMA / 100SMA zone

That entire region is now the new line in the sand for the market.

If price can hold that area on the next pullback, the odds increase materially that the bulls are truly back in control.

And if the 50SMA crosses back above the 100SMA, that would strengthen the bullish case even further.

🧭 What Happens Next

Going into this week, the key questions are:

1️⃣ Do We Finally Get the Pullback Needed to Form the Pattern?

We are still waiting for the first lower high and lower low to establish the new bull flag.

That remains the next structural event to watch for.

2️⃣ Where Does the Pullback Find Support?

Because the move higher was so strong, the eventual consolidation is likely to retrace toward:

  • prior ATH breakout resistance turned support

  • the broken daily downtrend

  • the 50SMA / 100SMA area

That is the key support cluster.

3️⃣ Can Bulls Hold the New Line in the Sand?

If price holds that zone on the next pullback, then the breakout likely remains healthy and the market can continue building higher from there.

If it fails, then this upside move risks turning into a blow-off that needs a deeper reset.

🎯 Bottom Line

Last week answered the main question decisively:

Yes, price broke the downtrend.
Yes, price reclaimed the 100SMA.
Yes, bulls regained momentum control.

The market is now back in upside expansion mode.

But after a move this strong, the next important step is not another breakout. It is the pullback that forms the first real bull flag.

That is what matters this week.

For now:

  • Bulls are in control

  • Momentum is strong

  • Price is stretched

  • A pullback / consolidation is increasingly likely

If that pullback holds the new support zone, the bullish case strengthens even further.

Why I Built the Ignition Point Strategy

I’ve made just about every mistake a trader can make, including several I didn’t even realize were mistakes until years later.

When I started, I thought I was doing everything right — chasing momentum, buying cheap options, reacting to every move. What I eventually learned is that most traders don’t fail because they’re wrong about direction. They fail because they enter the wrong contract or trade without structure.

In options trading, you can be right about the chart and still lose money if you don’t understand time decay, volatility, and contract selection.

The Ignition Point Strategy fixes that. It shows you how to spot high-quality momentum setups, choose the right contracts, and manage each trade with precision.

This is the course I wish existed when I began. It takes you from confusion and hesitation to clarity, confidence, and a repeatable process.

My goal is simple — help traders master structure, momentum, and contract selection so they can trade with confidence, protect their capital, and grow consistently.

"Simple, visually appealing and easy to use platform"

I'm excited to have the ORBI Day Trading and Swing Trader Pro programs loaded onto my trading system! I like how Eric has distilled complex and intricate market data into a simple, visually appealing and easy to use platform. The "Very Healthy," "Healthy" and "Very Unhealthy," Unhealthy" etc rating system for swing trade candidates saves so much work, as does the trend-at-a-glance indicator for day trade candidates. It's so much easier to check market internals by glancing at his 5 summary tabs rather than several separate screens. I have no doubt that with the investment of reasonable time and effort the Momentum Options program will be a money maker for years to come. Eric's market acumen is exceeded only by his integrity and genuine desire to see his students succeed! - Steve Tashiro

Eric, the mastermind and professor at Momentum Options, is one of the most professional individuals I have ever met. Despite my busy work and family schedule, I signed up in November 2023 and have been taking my time to learn his system and strategy. Eric is always available to work with you and accommodate your schedule. His well-organized program is definitely worth the investment. Whether you are interested in day trading or swing trading, his system equips you with the necessary tools and resources for success. Most importantly, Eric is always there to communicate and offer assistance when needed. I highly recommend Eric and Momentum Options as the ideal place to learn a trading system with strong fundamentals.

- Jim Diaz

I have tried a few too many other systems and I can say from the bottom of my heart that Eric and his ORBI system has helped me keep my retirement account green while this market was serving up some brutal returns.
Thank you Eric!! - Sharon Harrison

I joined momentum-options.com about 3 years ago. I had already been in several discord groups and also took multiple courses. At the the time I was a sophomore trader and I was looking for an ALGO system to simplify my trading. I THOUGHT that was all I needed. After purchasing ORBI and gaining access to the entire website I started from the top and watched all Eric's videos. There was a video on everything from setting up ur platform to using indicators and price action. Some of the terminology I knew, but any thing that I didn't fully understand he had over simplified! Out of every group I've been in this was by far the most straight forward guide and lesson plan I have ever seen! Alot of other gurus skip steps, leave people behind or just complicate everything. They move too fast and pretty much just show you their end results. They always wanted to keep me around basically depending on them. Momentum-options.com is the exact opposite! I wanted to learn to trade to be profitable on my own! I didn't want "signals" that's ultimately no different than having a job and a boss! Here is where I got that and also way more than I expected! Not only did I get the Algo, I got training courses, watchlists and entry and exit signals. I also got access to ERIC! I still to this day reach out for questions about anything that comes to mind and he's there. I would recommend this site for any level trader but especially beginners. Here you will get quality content, service and guidance without all the confusion and noise! Why buy 1 of the many items listed above instead of getting it ALL in 1 place! ITS A NO BRAINER! 🤯🤯🤯 momentum-options.com 📈📉 - John Holt
