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.

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.

SPY Recovery Attempt Begins, But the Bull Flag Still Needs to Form

April 12, 20265 min read
cover

📆 DAILY CHART OUTLOOK — SPY

Week of April 13, 2026

The daily chart is now shifting away from clean downside continuation and into the early stages of a potential recovery structure.

Last week, price rebounded sharply from the support zone, invalidated the previously active bear flag, and reclaimed both the 50SMA and 100SMA into the weekly close.

That does not mean the market is back in a clean bullish trend yet.

What it does mean is that the prior bearish structure is no longer in control, and we are now on bull flag watch beginning from the 4/7 low.

📌 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 200SMA

🔄 Structural Sequence (What Happened)

1️⃣ Monday — Bear Flag Resistance Still in Play

Monday price continued battling with the previously established, but no longer dominant, bear flag resistance level at 656.07.

Price closed the day back inside that prior resistance band between the 61.8% and 38.2% retracement levels, showing the market was still working through overhead pressure early in the week.

2️⃣ Tuesday — Pullback Holds, Price Stays in the Band

Tuesday markets opened lower, pulled back, found support, and closed the day back inside that same resistance band.

That action showed the market was stabilizing rather than immediately rolling back over.

3️⃣ Wednesday — Gap Up Invalidates Prior Bear Flag

Wednesday, after news of a ceasefire between the USA and Iran, markets gapped up with force.

Price opened above the 50SMA, pulled back intraday, and still managed to close back above it.

That gap up officially invalidated the previous bear flag and shifted the market from bearish continuation into recovery mode.

4️⃣ Thursday — 100SMA Reclaimed

Thursday markets opened above the 50SMA and pushed higher into the close, reclaiming the 100SMA.

That was an important structural development because it put price back above both intermediate moving averages for the first time in several weeks.

5️⃣ Friday — 100SMA Holds into the Close

Friday opened higher, above the 100SMA, and spent the day testing that level.

By the close, price remained above it, confirming that the market ended the week holding both the 50SMA and 100SMA.

That keeps the recovery attempt alive going into this week.

📐 Immediate Structure Map

The prior bear flag is gone.

What matters now is whether price can transition from rebound into actual bullish structure.

Key levels now in play:

Support / Structure

  • 651.06 (4/7 low, bull flag watch start)

  • 200SMA

  • 50SMA

  • 100SMA

Overhead Resistance

  • Daily downtrend line

  • 682.03 (recent high)

  • 689.7 (monthly resistance)

The next structural step is for price to either:

  • Continue making higher highs and higher lows, extending the recovery

  • Or pull back and form the first lower high and lower low needed to establish the bull flag

🔍 Momentum Context

Momentum has improved, but it has not fully flipped bullish yet.

MACD remains below zero

DMI has not crossed bullish yet

DI+ is rising

DI- is falling

• Price has reclaimed the 50SMA and 100SMA

This is an improving momentum picture, but still one that suggests trend repair rather than confirmed bullish expansion.

Negative MACD values often keep price pinned to a more sideways / choppy path while the trend shifts.

So the recovery is real, but it is not yet clean.

⚠️ Important Structural Note

Two things are especially important going into this week.

1️⃣ The Daily Downtrend Is Still Intact

Even with last week’s strong rebound, price has not yet broken the daily downtrend line.

That means bearish pressure still exists overhead.

A breakout above the eventual bull flag resistance, once formed, would likely be what finally breaks that downtrend and shifts control more convincingly back toward the bulls.

2️⃣ The 200SMA Is a Key Decision Point

The 200SMA now becomes one of the most important levels on the chart.

If price can hold above it during the next pullback, that would strongly support the case for a real bull flag forming.

If price fails to hold the 200SMA, then the 50SMA risks getting dragged back down, which increases the odds of another deeper move lower and a retest of the lows.

🧭 What Happens Next

Going into this week, the key questions are:

1️⃣ Does Price Continue Making Higher Highs and Higher Lows?

If yes, then the recovery is still extending and the potential bull flag is getting larger before it forms.

2️⃣ Do We Get the Pullback Needed to Form the Pattern?

A pullback is still likely, both to:

  • Help fill part of the gap

  • Create the first lower high and lower low needed to establish the bull flag

One or both of those should happen soon.

3️⃣ Can the 200SMA Hold?

If price pulls back but holds the 200SMA, then the odds improve that the market is building a real recovery structure.

If it fails to hold, the market risks revisiting the lows again.

🎯 Bottom Line

Last week’s rebound did three important things:

  • Invalidated the prior bear flag

  • Reclaimed the 50SMA and 100SMA

  • Started the watch for a new bull flag beginning at 651.06 (4/7 low)

But the market is not yet in a confirmed bullish pattern.

We are still waiting for the structure to form.

That means this week is about watching:

  • whether price continues higher first

  • whether we get the pullback that forms the pattern

  • and whether the 200SMA can hold when tested

For now, the rebound is promising — but the pattern still needs to be built.

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
