6 Stocks Are Poisedto Break the Tripwire

Hi, I'm Ryan Brooks.

Today I'm going to show you the one level I'd watch on any stock before it makes a big move.

We call it the Tripwire.

It sits at the center of a simple pattern our scanner has called since June 2024. Here's what it's done:

1. 71% of its 1,265 calls closed in profit.
2. We pulled real prices on 701 of its options plays. $2,500 in each one would be up $110,522.

Not bad.

But get this. Since September 1, it has flagged 21 winners. That includes:

• an 80.6% winner on PEP in 4 days
• a 58.7% winner on UNH in 4 days
• a 59.2% winner on AMGN in 4 days
• a 54.8% winner on INTC in 2 days
• a 36.4% winner on SHOP overnight

That's 21 winners in about seven weeks.

That's why you're here right now.

Right now, the same pattern is loading up again on 6 stocks. Each one is sitting just under its Tripwire. In a few minutes, I'll show you how to get the alert the moment one of them crosses.

Here's what you'll see today:

• why most stocks go nowhere, and the one thing that has to change before one really moves
• the simple pattern that tells you when that change is happening
• the exact price to watch: the Tripwire
• real trades it flagged, including what happened when the market crashed in April 2025
• how to get the next one on your phone at 3:45 PM, while you can still buy

Already know you want the alerts? Here's the founding offer:

First, let me tell you a little secret…

Why most stocks go nowhere

Most of the time, a stock has trouble going anywhere.

Here's why. Every trade needs a buyer and a seller, and at every price there's a stack of orders waiting. People ready to buy a little lower. People ready to sell a little higher.

When volume is heavy, those stacks are thick. Price has to work through every order at every level, so it bounces back and forth between two tight prices and barely moves.

Think of a crowded hallway. When it's packed, you shuffle along. When it empties out, you can run.

When volume gets lighter, the stacks thin out. There's hardly anything in the way, so price can skip from one level to the next.

So before a stock can make a big move, it needs thin air to move through.

Most traders never think about this. They stare at the candles and wonder why a perfect-looking setup goes nowhere. Usually, it's because the air is still thick.

Where the air gets thin

That's where the 1-2-3 comes in. It's a fight between buyers and sellers that nobody wins.

A stock pushes up hard. The buyers think they've won. Then the sellers push it back down, and they think they've won. But neither side follows through.

And when nobody wins, both sides start to leave. The buyers get out. The sellers get out. The volume dries up, and the air thins out.

The top of that first push is the Tripwire. When price crosses it, it's moving into thin air.

That's why it works on everything from chip stocks to tobacco to the S&P 500 itself. Every one of them has orders stacked at every price.

Texas Instruments, January 2026

Let me show you one.

On January 6, Texas Instruments jumped on more than twice its normal volume. The top of that day, $192.92, became the Tripwire.

The next day it got pushed back, and nobody followed through. The volume dried up. By January 13, TXN was trading at about 60% of its normal volume.

On January 14, TXN crossed the Tripwire, and the 1-2-3 flagged it.

Two weeks later, the TXN April $190 call had gone from $15.13 to $29.00.

+91.7% On a $2,500 stake, that's about $2,290 in profit.

"Isn't that too simple?"

I get it. A push, a push back and a line sound too simple to work.

But once you know to look for thin air, you start seeing it everywhere.

Take Goldman Sachs in the fall of 2024. On September 19, GS jumped on about 1.8 times its normal volume, and that high became the Tripwire. It got pushed back, and then it went quiet. By the day before it crossed, volume was running about 20% below normal.

On October 11, GS crossed the Tripwire. By November 6, the GS January $515 call had gone from $31.05 to $87.09.

+180.5% About $5,600 on a single contract.

That same week, JPMorgan set up. On October 11, JPM jumped on about twice its normal volume. It got pushed back, and by the day before it crossed, volume was running about a quarter below normal.

On October 18, JPM crossed its Tripwire. By November 6, the JPM January $225 call had gone from $11.14 to $26.55.

+138.3% On a $2,500 stake, that's about $3,450 in profit.

You don't need to guess earnings or chase headlines for any of this. You wait for the fight, let the air thin out, and watch the Tripwire.

We've seen this work even when regular traders were getting hammered.

Back in April 2025, the market had spent a week in the toilet. Tariff headlines had everyone reeling.

Then, out of the blue on April 9, a pause on the tariffs was announced, and the market shot up on enormous volume. The next day it got pushed back. Then things went quiet.

Over the next few weeks, one stock after another crossed its Tripwire. 151 different stocks and funds flagged a 1-2-3 off that one day. 90% of them hit their +5% target, and their options won 85% of the time.

Even the S&P 500 itself. SPY jumped on almost 3 times its normal volume on April 9, got pushed back, then went quiet. On April 25, it crossed its Tripwire at $548.62.

By May 12, the SPY July $550 call had gone from $24.85 to $41.25.

+66%

And SPY wasn't alone. Off that same day, the 1-2-3 flagged:

• a 72.3% winner on QQQ in 11 days
• a 70.6% winner on AMAT in 9 days
• a 62.8% winner on CSX in 2 days
• a 59.3% winner on SMH in 6 days
• a 58.6% winner on ASML in 3 days
• a 48.5% winner on CRM in 8 days

Look at ASML. On the day before it crossed its Tripwire, it traded less than half its normal volume. The air couldn't have been thinner. It crossed on May 7, and three trading days later its August $700 call had gone from $51.19 to $81.20.

While most people were still trying to figure out what had just happened, the Tripwire had already lined these up.

You don't need to watch the market all day

The 1-2-3 alert comes at 3:45 PM, with 15 minutes left in the trading day.

You read it, place the trade, and set your exits. It takes about a minute. Then you get back to your day.

Maybe you're wrapping up a long day at work. Your phone buzzes at 3:45, you place the trade before the 4:00 bell, and you close the laptop.

Maybe you're at the park with the grandkids. Between pushes on the swing, you read the alert, tap buy, and put the phone back in your pocket. The exits are already set, so there's nothing to babysit but the kids.

Maybe you're sitting in the school pickup line. You place the trade before the car door opens, and by the time you're home, it's working on its own.

On May 7 this year, AppLovin jumped on more than 3 times its normal volume and Shopify on more than twice. Both got pushed back the next day. Then both went quiet.

APP crossed its Tripwire on May 26. The next day, its August $510 call was up 59.6%, from $73.70 to $117.63.

SHOP crossed its Tripwire on May 28. Two trading days later, its August $115 call was up 43.2%.

Why most traders get chopped out

Here's where most traders get hurt. They see a stock jump, and they chase it. Then it gets pushed back, chops around, and shakes them out.

Go back to TXN. Anyone who chased the jump on January 6 bought near the top of the day. The next day it slipped, and for a week it went nowhere. That's the point where most people give up. Then it crossed the Tripwire and ran.

The chasers buy the jump and bail on the pullback. That back-and-forth is what shakes everyone out.

But something is happening underneath that most people never notice. The volume is thinning out, and it's setting up a bigger move later.

We checked this on every call. 2 out of 3 times, the days right before the cross traded below normal volume. On an ordinary stretch for the same stocks, it's closer to half.

So the chop that shakes everyone out is part of the setup. The Tripwire tells you when it's over.

And this isn't something that happens once in a blue moon. Since June 2024, the scanner has flagged 1,265 of these across 251 stocks and ETFs.

It shows up in names you know. AMD's options won 8 times in a row. Microsoft's won 5 in a row. Costco's won 4 in a row. Shopify, UnitedHealth and Palantir all strung together runs of their own.

Once you know what to look for, you'll start to see it on almost every chart you open.

How to tell a real Tripwire

Here's what our scanner looks for. Grab a pen if you'd like.

1. A real push. After a down day, one big up day, bigger than the days around it, that makes the highest high. That's the buyers making their move, and it has to be big enough that everyone noticed. The top of it is the Tripwire.
2. A real push back. The next day is a down day that can't get back over the Tripwire. That's the sellers fighting back. Now nobody's winning, and that's exactly when both sides start to leave.
3. The cross, at 3:45 PM. Price has to be over the Tripwire with 15 minutes left in the day. A quick poke in the morning doesn't count. It has to hold, because that's the sign the air above is really thin.

When all three line up, the fight is over and the air is thin.

Marvell lined up on September 18. The next trading day, its call was up 30.3%. Lowe's lined up on October 8. Six trading days later, its call was up 38.7%.

And it keeps happening

These setups weren't one-offs. Here are some of the biggest winners the Tripwire has flagged:

• a 230.6% winner on MMM in 7 days
• a 166.8% winner on MO in 3 days
• a 158.4% winner on NXPI in 4 days
• a 150.6% winner on BRK.B in 4 days
• a 134.5% winner on PM in 6 days

That 166.8% on MO? That's Altria, a tobacco stock most traders never look at twice.

Take NXP Semiconductors. It crossed its Tripwire on April 23 this year. Four trading days later, its July $240 call had gone from $20.25 to $52.32. On a $2,500 stake, that's about $3,960 in profit.

Add them all up, and $2,500 in each of its 701 options plays would be up $110,522.

That's money that could go toward a car payment, a trip you've been putting off, or right back into your account.

The typical winner hit its +5% target in 7 trading days. And the scanner flags 8-12 new opportunities every week.

If I were starting over with a small account and no fancy tools, this is the pattern I'd trade. One alert, one minute, and the exits are already set.

So how do you get the next one?

Right now, we have 6 stocks on our waiting list.

When one of them crosses its Tripwire, I want you to have it at 3:45 PM, while you can still buy.

Introducing 1-2-3 Candle Alerts

It's the only alert service built on the Tripwire.

Doing this by hand would mean checking 251 charts every afternoon for the push and the push back, then watching the clock so you catch the cross at 3:45. Nobody has time for that.

So our scanner does it for you. Every trading day, it checks all 251 stocks and ETFs. The moment one crosses its Tripwire, you get an alert at 3:45 PM with everything you need to take the trade:

• the stock and the entry price
• the +5% target and the stop
• the day-30 exit date
• the options trade: the exact contract, what it costs, and when to sell it

Here's the alert for PEP on October 16:

And the one that followed when it hit:

No guesswork. Read the alert and decide if you want in.

New to options? Don't worry. Every alert names the exact contract: the stock, the strike, the expiration, about what it costs, and when to sell it. It's one simple call option, no spreads and nothing complicated. And if you'd rather not trade options at all, the stock trade is right there in the same alert.

Expect 8-12 NEW opportunities every week.

Here's how a day with 1-2-3 Candle Alerts works:

1. 3:45 PM: the alert lands on your phone.
2. 3:46 PM: you place the trade and set your exits.
3. 3:47 PM: you get back to your day.
4. When it hits: the result posts, and you know exactly when to sell.

The alerts come to your members area, Telegram and Discord. The FBT App is coming soon, with a buzz on your phone for every call.

The best Tripwires come in waves

Now, before I tell you the price, there's one more thing you should know.

In a typical week, the scanner flags 8-12 new opportunities. But the biggest runs don't come evenly. They come in waves, right after the whole market gets knocked down.

Remember April 2025? 151 stocks and funds set up off that one day, and 90% of them hit their target.

And that wasn't a one-time thing. Across the whole record, when the S&P 500 had been knocked below its 200-day average, 89% of the 1-2-3's calls closed in profit, and the average call made about four times as much as the rest of the time.

Here's the thing. Nobody can tell you when the next wave is coming. It could be next month. It could be fourteen months from now.

And I don't want you to sign up, sit through a quiet stretch, and then miss the big one by a few weeks.

So for everyone who joins at launch, we're doing something big.

Still on the fence?

I get it. Trading one pattern over and over might sound too simple.

But the numbers speak for themselves. 71% of its 1,265 calls closed in profit. 470 options winners, with an average winner of +38.8%. And $110,522 in profit on just $2,500 a trade.

And you have 14 days to decide if it's for you.
