>>>It’s almost time for the world premiere of my 4PM Payout Plan that is crushing the market — save your seat here and see how we’ve been targeting $250 or more per day!<<<
First, if you haven’t heard about my 4PM Payout Plan yet… have you been under a rock?!
I kid, I kid… but we’ve been talking about my SPX / XSP trade strategy for a few weeks now, so be sure and check that out!
If you’re only trading stocks that follow the S&P 500 (SPY) or the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), you’re basically just riding the same roller coaster in different cars. And that’s fine — until the market starts whipping around and every setup suddenly feels like a coin flip.
That’s why I’m always looking for names that don’t move in lockstep with the broader market. Stocks that march to their own beat — regardless of what SPY or QQQ is doing — can give you a real edge. These are the trades where correlation drops and opportunity shows up.
Why Market-Independent Moves Matter
The first thing I do is scan for setups that are diverging from the major indexes. If the market is red but a stock is holding green — or better yet, pushing higher — I want to know why.
Is it earnings? Is it a sector story? Is it options flow?
If I can identify the driver and it’s independent of the macro tape, that becomes a candidate for my list. Bonus points if the stock has low beta or trades on its own catalyst, like an FDA announcement or unusual activity in a thin sector like defense or telecom.
How I Spot Them
Names like Lockheed Martin (LMT), Verizon (VZ) and sometimes even Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) can break free from the gravitational pull of the indexes.
These aren’t the sexy tech tickers everyone’s talking about — and that’s exactly why they work. They’re under-owned, under-watched and often mispriced when the crowd is focused on Nvidia (NVDA) or Tesla (TSLA).
If the whole market gaps down and these names hold firm, that tells you something. And when they move, they can move fast — because no one’s on them yet.
You don’t need every trade to be a home run. You just need a few that aren’t crowded. When the big money rotates, it usually doesn’t go into the names that are already stretched. It rotates into what’s been forgotten — and that’s where your edge lives.
Make a list. Watch the tape. And find the stocks that move on their own. That’s how you trade with an edge — even when the market’s a mess.

P.S. 1 Daily Setup for a Shot at 4PM Payouts!
Hey, Lance here,
A few savvy investors have been taking a special options setup with me every morning since February.
Right now, we’re sitting pretty at a 96% win rate – despite the last 10 weeks of chaos we’ve seen on the market.
Here are some of the things they had to say:
Recently, I had a lightbulb moment when the Income Ace, Jack Carter egged me on to do something shocking.
“Why not just show them how to do it?”, he said.
And of course, that’s exactly what I’ll do.
On Monday, I’ll go live to reveal The 4PM Payout Plan for the first time ever.
It’ll be a full rundown of the simple daily options setup we’ve been taking on 2 of the market’s most liquid assets since February.
But I won’t do it alone…
Jack Carter would join me live to hand you the nuts and bolts behind these daily setups.
No one can guarantee what the market does…
But starting Monday, you could be one of the first to learn how to find, plan and execute these setups for a 4PM payout without any help or assistance.
If this sounds like something you’d want…
