Top Ways to Trade the 2025 Tax Season
by Ian Cooper

Tax time is almost here again.

Every one’s “most favorite” time of the year when we get to hand over even more of our hard-earned earnings to the government.

With far too many of us unwilling to do our own taxes, we leave it up to trusted tax professionals. That way we don’t make mistakes with filing status, dependents, capital gains, or making dangerous assumptions. That way, we also don’t get a visit from the “friendly” IRS.

H&R Block (HRB)

HRB is a non-brainer with tax season.

Every year around this time, HRB rockets higher. We saw it happen just about every year. Not only can you make money from its potential appreciation this time of year, but you can also collect its yield of 2.75%.

Last year, HRB bottomed out at around $44 in January and tested a high of $53.55 just after taxes. Nowadays, after bottoming out at $52, we do expect for HRB to blast higher again.

Helping, CEO Jeffrey Jones reaffirmed the fiscal 2025 outlook, highlighting confidence in delivering results for the second half of the fiscal year. He noted strong performance in small business services, particularly in bookkeeping and payroll, which achieved double-digit revenue growth. DIY tax services benefited from an expanded range of custom experiences, improving conversion rates, as noted by Seeking Alpha.

Extreme Openings
by Duane Davis

Extreme openings usually only occur a dozen or so times a year and when they do, they present the day trader with some interesting opportunities. The 5-day average range is an important tool used to measure the markets current volatility. We used the 5-day average range as a ‘yardstick’ for defining an extreme opening to search 15 years of data to find those days when the S&P 500 futures opened below the previous day’s low by more than the 5-day average. In the chart below, we’ve taken all of those days and blended them together. The chart below was constructed using the intraday data for these days.

Wow – in looking at this chart we can see that these trades have a tendency to open and trade higher for the rest of the day. The average gain from the open to the close is just over 80% of the 5-day average range (during the year 2002, before commission, this would have been around $4,000 for the regular S&P and $800 for the e-mini). After an extreme downside open, the S&P has a tendency to finish higher 87.50% of the time.

But what happens when the open is below the previous day’s low, but it’s not quite as much as the 5-day average range?

The Living Oscillator is used to identify when a market is short-term overbought, or short-term oversold. The trade for a Living Oscillator ranges from a low of zero to a high of 100. The lower the Oscillator, the more oversold the market. The higher the Oscillator, the more overbought the market.

We used this Oscillator to divide these days into two groups. The first group, are those days when the trade for the Living Oscillator was below 50 (or oversold) the day prior to the extreme open. We found those days seemed to perform quite well. When these trades are filtered by the Oscillator the S&P has a tendency to finish higher around 75% of the time. The average gain for these days is over 80% of the 5-day average range.

2) TradeWins’ Services are not a solicitation or offer to buy or sell any financial products, and the Services are not intended to provide money management advice or services.

3) Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading and investing involve substantial risk. Trading on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Other than the refund policy detailed elsewhere, TradeWins does not make any guarantee or other promise as to any results that may be obtained from using the Services. No person subscribing for the Services (“Subscriber”) should make any investment decision without first consulting his or her own personal financial adviser, broker or consultant. TradeWins disclaims any and all liability in the event anything contained in the Services proves to be inaccurate, incomplete or unreliable, or results in any investment or other loss by a Subscriber.

4) You should trade or invest only “risk capital” – money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.

5) All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.

6) Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.

7) No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.

8) The author experiences are not typical. The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors. Certain Subscribers may modify the author methods, or modify or ignore the rules or risk parameters, and any such actions are taken entirely at the Subscriber’s own election and for the Subscriber’s own risk.
