There’s a massive trade on the horizon that could flip this holiday season on its head.
In the best way possible.
This time of year, pockets feel a little lighter, the credit card bills pile higher, and every commercial seems to remind you what you should be buying.
Maybe there’s that recurring pressure in your chest when you check your balance and realize December doesn’t care how hard you’ve worked.
Years ago, I found a solution for traders who need an extra bump. Even for those who don’t have much time to trade.
And it’s perfect during a busy holiday season.
People with a regular job are too busy to watch the market, but the volatility is at a yearly high.
I’ll show you what to look for and how to capitalize this week.
You still have a few days to prepare for this setup:
The Friday Trade That Most Traders Miss
Every Friday afternoon, the same pattern shows up in the market.
Like clockwork.
Last weekend it happened again, on Tilray Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY).
Most traders didn’t even notice the setup because they checked out early for the weekend after a long week of work.
But I was ready.
I saw the pattern develop on the chart on Friday, December 12 and I took the trade. By Monday morning, I locked in a 7% gain … And I left a lot on the table. The stock spiked 16% after I had bought shares.
Look at my post below from Monday morning:
Goooooooooooooood morning! Who's up early to watch and learn and earn from big runners like $OCG $AMCI $YCBD which are alllllll running earlyyyyyyyy!
…and I hope you banked with my on my https://t.co/NFpygldTfO play on $TLRY and avoided $IRBT which just filed for bankruptcy… pic.twitter.com/kruefp5aQR

Trump’s announcement to ease federal restrictions on marijuana acted as the main catalyst. Cannabis stocks across the market traded higher: Tilray and Canopy Growth both spiked more than 40% the day I bought shares.
And they’re both still in play.
Look at the consolidation on the charts below. Every candle represents one trading minute:
It wasn’t just the news … The timing matched my Friday setup perfectly.
This pattern thrives on end-of-week volatility when traders underestimate how powerful a late-day runner can be into after hours and even into Monday.
The best part?
- It’s one trade a week.
- At the same time.
- With the same pattern.
You just need to know what to watch as we head into the end of the week.
That’s exactly what I’ll show you before this Friday’s entry rolls around.
How to Spot the Weekend Setup
Take TLRY from last Friday for example. The setup was perfect.
There was a catalyst, an initial spike, and a consolidation.
The stock held higher lows all afternoon after bouncing off of the $10.50 support level in the morning on December 12. That consolidation above support is key.
Most traders get excited in the morning when the hottest stocks start to spike. They’re tempted to chase these runners and buy shares at the top. But the real setup is in the afternoon right before the market closes.
This exact pattern has carried me through countless market cycles in my 25-year trading career. From booms to busts and everything in between.
Plus, in this volatile holiday market, there are much larger opportunities than my 7% gain. Remember, I left a lot of the table.
Get ready for the entry this coming Friday afternoon.
