The first trade in this account was published on June 2nd last year. It started with $10,000 of my own money.
As I write this, it is worth $20,895.08.
In 16 months, it has closed 98 positions, and 70 of them made money.
The best? We bought AMD calls at $6.30 on October 3rd, 2025, and sold them at $42.05 on the 6th.
That’s +567.46% in 3 days.
This year alone, Moderna calls made +178.65% in 12 days, Robinhood calls made +158.06% in 13 days, and Applied Digital calls made +139.62% in 22 days.
You can check every one of those.
Every position, every entry price, every exit, and the account balance itself, printed at the bottom of a letter that goes out around 10:00 every weekday morning with a screenshot of the brokerage account under it.
Every trade goes out the morning it happens, including the ones that lose
There’s a reason for this.
My dad built this company because a group of advisors kept my grandmother out of her own money. She was charged fees she did not understand by men whose work she was never going to be able to check.
He fired every one of them, taught himself the job out of library books, and built the company on one rule: anyone who pays us sees everything.
So the Digital Leverage letter shows you all of it.
- What the market did and why he thinks so.
- Every position, open and closed, with the date we entered it, the price we paid, and what it did.
- Every order sitting open, with the limit on it.
- And at the bottom, the account balance, typed in by hand off the brokerage account, with a screenshot of the account under it.
(That includes the mornings we would rather skip.)
For example…
On August 19th, every open position in the book was losing money
The account stood at $20,977.19 that morning. Every open position in it was underwater.
MongoDB was the worst. We bought August $500 calls on June 15th at $7.50, and with 2 days left on them, both halves were down 98.27%.
The weeks before had closed both halves of Tesla down 97.28% and 96.96%, Robinhood down 90.38%, Xcel down 90.26%, and Meta down 88.80%.
Every one of those went out in the letter on the day it was happening, with the balance printed underneath.
The MongoDB calls expired worthless on August 21st, and that went out too.
Terry, who runs the book, put it this way at the time:
“The market has been extremely choppy but in fairness, we have made some trading errors by holding positions too long. For example, the Mongo position was profitable in the first two days, then the share price collapsed. The Citi, Constellation and Amazon positions are part of a larger strategy to hold bearish positions in defensive and money center banks... We can’t expect to have perfect timing all of the time. That is unrealistic.”
And we don’t just explain what happened in retrospect - often, we see it coming…
He told members it would probably lose. Then it did.
On July 28th, 3 weeks before that morning, my dad had written this in the letter about a Dell position we were holding:
“DELL was holding up like a champ until Friday, when shares began to slip. We need a close today above $388, which is still doable, but we will probably have to close the position later this week for a loss.”
We closed it on August 5th, down 17.33%. Members read the warning while the position was still open, in the same letter that carries the winners.
A record with a loss called in advance is a record you can believe when it shows you a 567% gain.
98 positions closed. 70 made money.
“What I like about Jon and the newsletter is that he eliminates emotion, just facts. And he isn’t lopsided!”
Since June 2nd last year, the book has closed 98 positions.
70 made money, 27 lost money, 1 finished flat.
Our average winner made 60.68%. Our average loser cost 84.22%.
- Made money 70
- Lost money 27
- Of those, went to zero 10
- Flat 1
Now, remember what I said at the top about how much this account has grown?
When we are wrong, we lose more than we make when we are right.
And the account has more than doubled anyway because 7 out of every 10 positions make money.
Of the 27 losers, 10 went to zero. An option that expires out of the money is worth nothing at all, and that has happened to 10 of ours in 16 months.
Every one of them is in the letter, next to the AMD trade and the Moderna trade and the Robinhood trade.
Look at the open book as I write this:
| Position | Opened | Price paid |
|---|---|---|
| CVX November 20th $200 puts | October 7th | $5.50 |
All this transparency is really important to me - because it’s my neck on the line (and my family’s future!).
$15,986.61 of my own money is in these trades
“Now he is putting his reputation on the line with this 10K to 1M options exercise. What a wonderful way to teach his trade while helping his clients.”
The $10,000 that opened the account is mine. It went in at the start of the service.
I hold every position you have just read about. When the MongoDB calls expired worthless, they expired worthless in my account.
A second account of mine trades the same book. I contributed $5,986.61 to it.
So $15,986.61 of my own money rides on the same orders the letter publishes every morning.
I have 3 kids under 3. This is not spare money!
When a trade is made, I’m right alongside you, with my skin in the game too.
And it’s not just my money I’m watching - it’s my time.
4 new positions in a typical month. One email a day.
“I love the lightness of it. I don’t have to read a huge daily report to get my picks. A great mix of puts and calls.”
The question I get asked more than any other has nothing to do with returns.
It’s this: “Do I have to spend all day managing my trades?”
You might be surprised at the answer.
Over 16 months, the book has opened between 2 and 8 new positions in a month. The median month is 4.
What arrives is one letter, once a day, around 10:00 in the morning.
On plenty of mornings, it opens by telling you there is nothing to do.
When there is something to do, it is usually a limit order you set once and leave alone.
The instruction in the letter from July 28th was as simple as this:
sell half of the Constellation puts at $8.75, good till cancelled.
You place it and go back to your day.
The positions turn over quickly. The median one is closed inside 12 days, and more than 3 out of 4 are finished inside a month.
And placing the order is the smallest part of what the letter gives you…
You will know why we made every trade
“The service has exceeded my expectations. I like the explanations for the why and other info given along with the trades. It’s nice to know some of the thought process that went into the stock selections. I feel that I am learning to improve my trading, not just being given trade ideas. The trade tracker is simple and easy to follow. Checking the email alerts and market once or twice a day is a pace that works well with my busy day.”
The letter that hands you the order also hands you the thinking behind it.
Every morning opens with what the market did, on the charts, at the levels that matter, and what my dad and Terry make of it.
Then the positions, and why each one is there: What we saw in the chart. What we expect it to do. What would make us wrong.
When a trade works, you read why it worked. When one goes wrong, you read that too, in plain words. The note from August 19th is what that looks like: Terry, who made the Mongo trade, telling you he held it too long, in the same letter that showed you the position.
Read that every morning for a few months and the setups start to look familiar before the order arrives.
You can follow the letter and do well. You can also learn the trade from the people doing it, one morning at a time.
That’s how straightforward Digital Leverage is, and how much you get out of it. And this is your invitation to join us on (hopefully) our march towards $1 million.
What comes with Digital Leverage
Of course, we start with the Digital Leverage letter, every weekday morning.
Positions, entries, open orders, and the balance at the bottom.
And we have The Terminal, which puts the whole book on one page. Every position, the price we paid and the date we paid it, sortable, with the closed positions alongside the open ones.
Next: The Vault, our archive going back to 2014, searchable by ticker, by theme, and by the names we keep coming back to. If you are already a Digital Creators and Consumers member, you have the Vault already.
And you get the genius of Terry, who runs the options book and is our lead researcher.
He has been with my dad for 25 years and trading for 35 years himself, and you will be reading his work every morning.
All of this is great, but it’s still a risk to jump into a new service like this - even with all the transparency.
So we have your back on that, too…

Two ways to go from here

Or you can take one of the 102 seats, get tomorrow morning’s letter, and spend the next 30 days watching a $10,000 account that has already doubled try to reach $1 million, with every trade in front of you the morning it happens.
And a full refund is waiting if it is not what I have described.
