My 3 Biggest Winning Trades of 2026, With the Receipts
Three positions made Austin Starks $12,748 in 2026. This video shows each one against the underlying stock's real price line, with the day he bought and the day he sold marked on the chart, so the return can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Number three is a Google 310 call, bought 9 April and sold six days later for $1,456 on $644 at risk. The stock moved 5.7% over those six days; the call returned 226%. That gap is the whole reason the position exists, and it is why the chart and the card carry separate numbers.
Number two is a GOOGL 300 call bought 25 March, with a 400 call written against it on 28 April that cut the cost basis from $3,640 to $1,410. Both legs closed 7 August for $5,240, a profit of $3,830 on the capital actually at risk, or 272%, held 135 days. The written call is marked on the chart as its own event, because a position with a middle event that is not drawn reads as impossible.
Number one is Nvidia, three calls bought across November 2025 and March 2026 for $10,350, still open and marked at the 4 September close. The stock is up 30.1% since the first buy.
The closing receipt states both ends: $17,585 paid in, $30,333 back. Every figure is pulled from the brokerage record, not from a notes file, and the open position is labelled with the session it is marked at because that number moves.

0:00Three stocks made me twelve thousand dollars this year. I'm a senior AI engineer, and I found all three by pointing AI agents at market data.
0:08Number three is Google. I bought calls in April, sold them six days later, and made fourteen hundred dollars. That was two hundred twenty six percent.

0:27Number one is Nvidia, and I haven't sold it. Ten thousand dollars became seventeen thousand six hundred, so I'm up seven thousand three hundred and still holding.
0:36Those three positions made me twelve thousand seven hundred dollars. My whole account is up fifty seven thousand in under three years. I'm posting my twenty twenty seven picks next, so follow me.
