Trade Alert: Change Direction on Oil and Gas

Major diversified oil and gas company Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) triggered a new buy on black!

Our Apex Movement Patterns suggest the stock is on the verge of a breakout that will extend its rally.

So, today, we recommend you add XOM call options.

At the same time, our system tells us to exit our buy-on-red trades in oil producer Diamondback Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: FANG) and refiner Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC).

We recommend you close your puts in FANG and MPC to minimize losses.

Here are the details…

XOM Meets Our 2 Rules

On XOM’s chart, the red bars in our momentum indicator turned black, which is our signal.

We’ll buy on black with July call options.

Turn Your Images OnRule No. 2: Triple-Digit Potential

Options are our “profit accelerator.” They let us capture large, speculative gains.

To ensure our potential reward is worth the risk, we only select options that give us the chance to earn triple-digit gains if the trade reaches our target.

XOM’s price is around $48.90 today.

If XOM climbs 14% to our target — around $56 per share — the options we’re recommending today provide the chance for a 157% gain before they expire on July 17!

Your 1st Action to Take:
Buy to Open XOM July $47.50 Call Options

Here are your details to complete two actions:

No. 1, enter the buy order.

And No. 2, place an order to grab profits on HALF of your position when it reaches a 70% open gain. For more about why we recommend this action, click here.
