>>>I’m out of town this afternoon, but the market doesn’t care, and neither does my assistant, Christian. So he’s stepping in to break down scanner orders, talk setups and answer your questions — and it’s going down live at 2:30 PM ET!<<<
Oklo (OKLO) has quickly become one of my favorite high-upside trading vehicles in the energy space — and I’m not alone. The momentum behind this micro-nuclear name is building fast, and I’ve already worked multiple profitable legs off it using call spreads.
My first entry came when shares were around $8. I sold that batch near $15. I jumped back in around $30, then exited at $47 just the other week. Based on how this name trades — and where sentiment is heading — I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit $100 before long — it’s already up to $72.
It’s not just hype. This is a trader’s stock, and it keeps offering clean setups on both breakouts and pullbacks.
GE Vernova (GEV) has been my longer-term hold in the same space. It’s the safer play — the “core” position to Oklo’s volatility. But GEV isn’t exactly slow.
It popped 15% off earnings, and I expect it to keep grinding higher if institutional flows stay steady. The stock represents the energy arm of General Electric (GE) after the spinoff, and it’s been a stealth momentum leader since.
Why These Trades Keep Working
I’m not just throwing darts here. These are calculated moves based on price action, sector momentum, and catalysts. Oklo has the breakout chart — I’m playing that with defined-risk call spreads to manage volatility.
GE Vernova is the anchor, and I’m holding it outright. This pairing gives me both short-term juice and longer-term staying power.
If nuclear and grid modernization continue to get headlines — and if capital keeps flowing into energy innovation — this trade framework should stay in play well into the back half of the year.
Order Flow:
This is for informational and educational purposes only. These are not official alerts issued by Lance, but rather some interesting orders picked by the team at Lance Ippolito Trading.
When you look at these plays, always take the market maker move into consideration.
You can be right on the direction but still lose money if the stock doesn’t move enough. That’s where the market maker move comes in clutch.
With puts, they’re often downside hedges in case a stock tanks, especially around earnings. The further out of the money they are, the more likely they are to be hedges.
Also be sure and check when the company’s earnings date is because many of the plays we post here are centered around earnings!
And finally, always remember the golden rule when it comes to buying calls: Buy dips, sell rips — and don’t chase!
If a stock’s moved a ton already today, maybe wait for a pullback.
