Project Next · Licia Leslie and Mark Sebastian

I sent this at 3:30 pm.By 10:52 am they were out.

Hey, Licia here.

That ticket's a real one. I sent it Tuesday afternoon and then I went back to work, because that's what I do all day.

The next morning, members started posting their fills in our private chatroom.

Here's the same trade the way it lands in our portfolio.

I'm sending the next one this Tuesday at 3:30 pm ET, and I'd like you in the room when I build it.

I go live Tuesday at 2:30 pm ET

Gold was a good morning, but it wasn't the only one.

Eighteen hours is all it takes

These are tracked positions out of the portfolio since we went live in June. Every one got bought in the afternoon and sold into the open the next day.

Those buy and sell prices are per share, and one option contract covers 100 shares.

So the average ticket on that list ran $181. One contract, a hundred and eighty one dollars.

That's why account size doesn't gate this the way it gates most option strategies.

Alert goes out Tuesday, 3:30 pm ET

You're probably wondering who's sending these.

I came off a market making desk

A market maker is the person on the other side of your options trade. When you buy, somebody has to sell it to you.

That was my job for a long time. You learn fast what moves a stock and what doesn't, because being wrong costs you your seat.

Twenty plus years of that. This is the cleanest setup I've found in a decade, it's embarrassingly simple, and until this year you couldn't trade it at all.

There's one thing about me that surprises people.

I'm at my screens all day

Open to close, every session. That's not discipline, it's just what I do. I came up on a trading floor and I never really left it.

You don't have to do any of that.

That's the whole design. I do the watching. You get one alert at 3:30 pm and you sell into the open the next morning.

I'm not selling you a lifestyle. I'm selling you my screen time.

Next alert Tuesday, 3:30 pm ET

Which brings me to the thing everybody asks first.

Yes, you're holding it overnight

Once the close hits, you can't get out. Not for seventeen and a half hours. If something breaks in Asia at 2:00 am, you own it when you wake up.

That's true. It's also exactly where the money is.

The overnight gap is the jump between where a stock closes and where it opens the next morning. For a lot of these names it's the biggest move they make all day.

Almost nobody positions for it on purpose, because until this year there was no clean way in.

If you already trade 0DTE with us, you know the other version of this work. 0DTE means zero days to expiration, so the option you buy in the morning is dead by 4:00 pm that same day.

You sit there watching it, and you have to pick your moment before the bell. That's a real strategy and it pays for people who want to be in it.

Ours are 1DTE, one day to expiration. They die the following afternoon instead, so the only call you make is what to pay.

Most traders go flat into the close so they never have to think about the gap. I go in on purpose, and I don't go in blind.

Here's what I look at before I commit a dollar.

The Tilt

The Tilt reads how the options crowd is positioned in the expiration I'm about to trade, the one that dies tomorrow. Not the market overall. Not next month. That one specifically.

Here's why that matters. Close to an expiration is where all that positioning actually shoves a stock around.

An option with 30 days left barely notices a half percent move. A one day option goes from almost worthless to worth real money over that same half percent.

The Tilt changes every single day. Some afternoons it leans hard. Some afternoons it gives me nothing, and on those afternoons I don't send a trade at all.

What it doesn't do is pick the trade.

The Tilt narrows the board. It tells me which names to pull up and which direction to look.

Then the chart makes the call, and that part's mine. Price structure, pitchforks and candlesticks, which are just tools for reading where a stock is likely to go next off its own chart.

The Tilt says where to look. The chart says whether to go.

And that board I keep mentioning is getting bigger.

More names every month

None of this was possible in December. It opened up in January, when the exchanges started listing these short dated expirations on a handful of the biggest names in the market.

Since we launched Project Next, five more names have been added.

More are coming. Short dated contracts keep taking share from the old fashioned monthly ones, and the exchanges keep listing new names to chase where the money is going.

That matters more than it sounds like it should.

I don't need a lot of setups. I need one good one, twice a week.

Every name that gets added is another candidate on my board Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, and a deeper board means I get to be pickier.

When the list is short, I take the best of what's in front of me or I sit out. When the list is long, I can hold out for the one that actually looks right.

Not more trades. Better ones.

Live session starts 2:30 pm ET

That's the strategy. Here's the service we built around it.

This is Project Next

Project Next is where Mark Sebastian and I run this play together, twice a week, with a few hundred members watching over our shoulders.

Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30 pm ET, I go live and walk the whole board. What the Tilt is showing, what the charts are telling me, which names I'm circling.

One hour later at 3:30 pm ET, the alert goes out. The option to buy, the price to pay, and where I'm looking to sell.

We buy into a Wednesday or Friday expiration. Never into a Monday, because I'm not holding anything across a weekend.

The next morning at the open, you sell. Or you don't. That part is yours.

Everything else in the membership exists to make those two moments easier. A chatroom I'm in all week. Alerts on your phone the second I get in and the second I get out. A training vault with every session we've ever run.

There's one more thing that never shows up in the portfolio.

The trades that miss the scoreboard

Our tracked record covers the 1DTE overnight alerts. That's the strategy and that's what gets logged.

A couple of times a month I spot something outside that window that I'm not going to sit on quietly. Those go straight to the room.

They never hit the portfolio because they aren't 1DTE trades. Call it one to two extra ideas a month on top of everything else.

And when one of these works, you get a decision most traders never get.

Two ways to take a winner

Every call option you buy reserves 100 shares of the stock at a set price. That set price is called the strike, and it's locked in the moment you buy.

• Close out and cash out

  Sell into the open, take the money, wait for the next alert. Most mornings that's what I do.

• Or take the stock on sale

  Say your strike is $50 and the stock's trading at $75. Don't sell. Let it expire and it turns into 100 shares at $50, so you end up owning a name you wanted anyway at a price nobody else got.

Nine times out of ten you'll cash out. On the tenth, on a company you've always wanted to hold, that second door is sitting right there.

Which leaves one thing to sort out.

I said the price would go up. It's going up.

Here's what's happened since. The strategy went live in June. Members are posting 100%, 150%, 200% and 300% mornings in the room. Five more names joined the board.

So the price is moving, exactly like I said. Just not the direction you were bracing for.

After 2:30 pm ET Tuesday the two-year comes off the table and annual's the only way in. The best price on Project Next goes from $1,499.50 a year to $1,999 a year, and it stays there.

Two-year closes Tuesday, 2:30 pm ET

Here's everything that comes with it.

What you walk away with

• Know what to buy before the close

  Twice a week at 3:30 pm ET you get the option, the price to pay and where I'm selling. No guessing, no screen time, no exit decision made under pressure.

• Watch me build the trade before I send it

  Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30 pm ET I walk the whole board live, an hour ahead of the alert. You see the reasoning, not just the ticket.

• Get me on the other end of a question

  The chatroom's open all week. Every message on this page came out of it, and I'm in there answering.

• Never miss an entry or an exit

  Email, mobile push and chat fire the moment I get in and the moment I get out.

• Take trades I can't sit on quietly

  One to two extra ideas a month outside the 1DTE window, posted straight to the room.

• Learn to read this yourself

  The full launch masterclass covering one day against same day options, the trade rules, pitchforks and candlesticks, plus every archived session. Members like Ed are already running their own trades off it.

• Spot the tilt without waiting on me

  The Tilt Score Scanner is coming shortly at no extra charge, so you can see the board when I see it.

If this isn't for you, call our VIP concierge inside your first 14 days and we'll refund the whole thing. No argument and no runaround.

Want to split it into payments? We do that. Call 888-872-3301 or book a time with our team and they'll set it up.

A few things people ask me before they join.

Questions I get

• Do I have to sit at my screen?

  No. One order in the last half hour of the day, one at the open the next morning. You can be asleep for the middle and most of my members are.

• How much money do I need to start?

  The average contract I've alerted cost $181, and one contract is a complete position. You can size up whenever you want to, but you don't have to.

• What if I can't place it right at 3:30?

  Every alert comes with a price to pay and a ceiling you shouldn't go above. If you can't get filled at or under that ceiling, skip it. There'll be another one Thursday.

• Do you ever hold over a weekend?

  Never. Tuesday and Thursday only, into a Wednesday or Friday expiration. A weekend is two extra days of headlines and politics that nobody can price in, and that's risk I'm not getting paid to carry.

• Do you send a trade every session?

  No. Some afternoons the Tilt gives me nothing worth taking and I say so in the room. Some weeks there are three setups and some weeks there's one.

• What happens when one goes against me?

  These are options, so some of them go to zero. Every tracked trade lands in the portfolio the morning it closes, win or lose, and you'll see the bad ones sitting right next to the good ones.

• Do I need to know how to read a chart?

  Not to take the trades. You get the option, the price and the target either way. The masterclass is there for when you want to start reading them yourself, and plenty of members have.

• What if it turns out not to be for me?

  Call our VIP concierge inside 14 days and we refund the whole thing.

Two-year closes Tuesday, 2:30 pm ET

The two-year rate closes Tuesday at 2:30 pm ET, right as I go live. The next alert goes out at 3:30 pm ET.

Get in before the session and you're in the room while I build the trade, with a position on one hour later.

I'll see you in there
