Weekly options alerts

How our weekly options alerts work

Weekly Options USA is an options alert service covering short-term opportunities around unexpected announcements, mergers, acquisitions and leadership changes, plus earnings plays. Ian Harvey researches and writes every alert by hand.

Inside each alert

Each alert names the contract, its last close (the price it closed at), and a stop. The 20%, 50% and 100% targets are reference points measured from the last close. Ian explains why he published the alert.

Delivery before the market opens

Ian writes alerts in the evening while the market is closed. You'll receive them by email and in the member area before the market opens.

How we record results

Every published position is a model position tracked on paper against delayed quotes. We email the closing result of every alert to members and publish it in the public track record, wins and losses alike.

For self-directed options traders

The service suits experienced, self-directed US options traders who want to review Ian's research and make their own trading decisions. Membership is unavailable to Australian residents.

1,007 closed trades, 2020 to 2026: 871 winning, 131 losing, 5 flat. Every trade, including every loss, is on the track record page.

Potential gains on model positions, measured from a recorded entry price to a recorded exit price. Past results do not guarantee future results.

How these figures are measured

Each percentage is measured from a recorded entry price to a recorded exit price. Every position we publish is a model position, tracked on paper against real delayed market quotes. We write alerts in the evening, while trading is closed. The entry is the best price the desk could achieve on the following trading day. Where no entry was recorded, the percentage is measured from the last close, and the row says so. For model trades up to mid-July 2026, the exit is the exit price Ian recorded when the position closed. For model positions tracked since late July 2026, it is the highest price the option reached between entry and expiry, or the published 60 per cent stop, whichever came first. No member is claimed to have bought or sold at those prices. Losses appear beside wins. The figures exclude individual fills, fees, taxes and execution differences, and they show potential profit, never a return anyone received.
