A letter from Gianni Di Poce
Hi. I’m Gianni Di Poce.
If you just watched The Popcorn Setup, thanks for spending the time with me. If you didn’t, here’s what this is in plain English.
I grew up in Detroit, a long way from Wall Street. Nobody around me knew anything about investing.
Today I’ve spent more than 14 years trading and investing, and studying market cycles since 2018. And those years taught me one thing above everything else: quiet never lasts.
Every stretch of nothing ends in a move. My job is to get in before it does.
I do that with a specific kind of trade. A small, fixed-cost options play on a stock that’s gone quiet, taken before the crowd shows up.
I call it the Popcorn Setup.
Before I take one, it has to pass three checks on a tool I built called the Pressure Gauge. When all three line up, I’ve found what I’m hunting for: the pressure point. The moment the pressure inside a quiet stock is about to break.
That’s where the name comes from. And starting today, every Popcorn Setup I take goes straight to Pressure Point Alerts members.
During The Popcorn Setup, I walked you through everything. Every pop and every dud from the last 13 months. Real numbers. Nothing hidden.
On this page, you’ll find the highlights, how the setup works, and everything you get as a member. Take your time and read it all. If it’s for you, the offer is waiting at the bottom of the page.
The track record highlights
In the presentation, I showed you all 21 plays from the last 13 months, pops and duds. Here are the highlights.
And here’s the one I’m not proud of. My biggest dud was TSLA in October 2025, a month after it popped +155%. It dropped 82%, the stop did its job, and I moved on.
That’s the whole story in one line. My average pop was +133.8%. My average dud was −53.1%. I was wrong more often than I was right. And I still came out ahead.

You’ve been buying cold popcorn
You know how it goes. A stock lands on the top gainers list. Your phone buzzes: up 12% today.
You buy the option. The stock keeps climbing. And somehow, your option is worth less than you paid.
Right about the stock. Still lost money. I call it the Post-Pop Trap.
By the time a stock is on your screen, the crowd is already piling in. The options get marked up to movie-theater prices, and you pay that markup on the way in.
When the excitement fades, the markup disappears. And it takes your money with it.
That’s cold popcorn. You paid full price, and the fun part was already over.
I stopped buying popcorn a long time ago. I buy the kernels.
So, how does it actually work?
Every play I send has to pass three checks. All three have to line up, or I pass.
The Kernel
The stock has to go quiet in a very particular way. Either its trading range keeps narrowing, or it pulls back and sits on a support level that’s held before. That’s a stock that’s coiled, not dying. Most quiet stocks are quiet because they’re sliding, breaking through support with nothing holding them up. Those are duds, and they never pop.
The Steam
Steam needs time to build. I pick an option that moves closely with the stock (near the money), with about 6 to 8 weeks before it expires, so the move has room to play out. A $12 option can ride the same move as a $162 stock for a fraction of the price. It gains fast when the stock moves, and it holds its value better while I wait.
The Two-Second Rule
Straight off the back of a popcorn bag: when the pops slow to two seconds apart, take it out, or you burn the whole bag. I only get in when the Kernel and the Steam line up. My target is set before I enter, usually a 10 to 15% move in the stock. My stop is set before I enter too, below a previous technical low, so a dud gets cut small. When it hits the target, I’m out.
When all three line up, that’s a pressure point. That’s when the alert goes out.
What is the Pressure Gauge?
The Pressure Gauge is the tool I built to run all three checks.
It reads the heat building inside every quiet stock. It tells me which kernels are resting, which ones have steam building, and which ones are ready to pop.
It’s not a hunch, and it’s not a headline. It’s the same tool behind every play on this page. And as a Pressure Point Alerts member, you get access to it too.
Four moments. One play.
- The kernel goes quiet.The Pressure Gauge flags a stock that’s resting while the bigger trend keeps climbing.
- The steam builds.Pressure starts building underneath, while the option is still cheap.
- The alert goes out.Entry, target, stop and position size, sent straight to you.
- The exit is called.Win or lose, you get the exit in writing, the day it happens.
I take one or two of these a month. I pass on far more than I take.
The math most traders get backwards
Most traders chase a high win rate. They take small wins, hold their losers too long, and wonder why they can’t get ahead. I flip that around.
My average pop over the last 13 months was two and a half times bigger than my average dud. At that ratio, you only need about one in four plays to pop just to break even. I’ve been popping close to half the time.
Every play also uses a small slice of the account, 2% to 3.5%. No single dud can do real damage. And one pop can pay for a couple of duds.
Small, fixed cost on the way in. Duds cut small. Pops allowed to run.
Picture this
It’s a quiet Tuesday. Nothing’s on the top gainers list that you care about.
Then your alert comes in. A new Popcorn Setup.
The stock has been resting for weeks. The Pressure Gauge shows steam building underneath. The entry, target, stop and size are all laid out for you.
You place the play. It costs a small, fixed amount, and you already know the most you can lose.
Then you wait. No staring at the screen. No chasing headlines.
Days later, maybe a couple of weeks, the stock finally shows up on everyone else’s top gainers list. Your phone buzzes again.
This time it’s my exit alert. The popping is slowing down. Time to take it out.
The crowd is just showing up. You’re already out.
Real members. Real results.

What you should know before you join
Pressure Point Alerts is an options alert service. Every Popcorn Setup is an options trade.
Options involve risk, including the loss of the full premium you pay. That’s why every play is a small, fixed cost, sized at a small slice of the account, with the stop set before entry.
Trade only what you can afford to lose. Duds are part of the deal. You saw 11 of them in the presentation.
30-Day See-It-Live Guarantee
Watch every alert land in your inbox for 30 days. Not satisfied? Full refund. No questions.
You don’t have to place a single play in those 30 days if you don’t want to. Just watch the Pressure Gauge, watch the alerts go out, and watch how every exit gets called.
If after 30 days you don’t believe what you’re seeing, email support@theotrade.com. One email gets you every dollar back.
The risk is on me. Not you.
Why now
Right now, I have a play open. I got in while the stock was quiet, and the target and stop were set the day I opened it.
Members who join today can follow it from here, along with every new Popcorn Setup I take.
My last three plays all popped and closed in October. Quiet stocks don’t stay quiet forever, and the next one won’t wait for the crowd.
This offer is only available to those who attended The Popcorn Setup.
The questions I know you’re asking
Have you tried services before that didn’t work?
So have I. Most services show you the winners and bury the losers. In the presentation, I showed you all 21 plays, duds included. Judge me on the whole record.
Lost money before? Can’t afford to lose more?
I know that feeling. That’s why every play is a small, fixed cost, and the stop is set before I ever get in. And you’ve got 30 days to just watch before you decide.
Don’t have time to watch the market all day?
You don’t need to. I take one or two plays a month. When one’s ready, the alert comes to you with everything you need.
Never traded options before?
That’s fine. Every alert spells out exactly what to do: the entry, target, stop and position size, and every exit is called in writing. If anything’s unclear, you can email me directly.
How do you know this isn’t hindsight?
Every entry and every exit was called in writing, the day it happened. That’s not a rearview mirror.
Two kinds of traders. Which one do you want to be?
The Popcorn Buyer
Finds out about a stock after it pops. Pays theater prices for the option. Needs the stock to keep running just to break even. Ends up holding cold popcorn.
The Kernel Buyer
Gets in while the stock is quiet. Pays kernel prices. Knows the exit before getting in. Lets the crowd show up after.
Which one do you want to be when the next pop hits?
The next pop won’t wait
Right now, there’s a stock sitting quiet with pressure building underneath it.
Nobody’s talking about it. It’s not on the top gainers list. The options are still cheap.
Soon, it’ll pop. And the crowd will show up the way it always does. Late, and paying theater prices.
Pressure Point Alerts members will already be in.
You saw every pop and every dud in the presentation. You know how the setup works.
The only question is whether you’re buying kernels or popcorn the next time it happens.
Fill out the form below. I’ll see you in the trading room.
