The New Era of Income Trading:

Turning Daily Expirations Into Consistent Weekly Paydays

By Preston James, Founder of Traders Edge Network

A Personal Note From Preston

I’ve been teaching traders for nearly 30 years now.
And in that time, I’ve seen a lot of “new systems” come and go.

But every once in a while, something truly different comes along — not something that replaces what works, but something that builds on it.

That’s what happened when I met Alex.

He wasn’t some Wall Street insider or fund manager.

He was a former CPA who fell in love with trading — and quietly turned a modest account into something extraordinary.

From $75K to $3 Million:

The Unexpected Journey of a Reluctant CPA-Turned-Trader

When Alex first started trading, he wasn’t managing a hedge fund or chasing clients.

 He was a CPA — grinding through tax season, buried in spreadsheets — but fascinated by the markets.

Back in 2020, while the world was locked down, Alex decided to take a chance on himself.

He still had his accounting practice open, so he took out a small loan — about $75,000 — and combined it with his savings to start trading with around $150,000 total.
“I didn’t plan on making a big story out of it,” he told us later. “I just wanted to see if my approach could actually work in real time.”
Within months, that $150K turned into more than half a million dollars.

 He used some of it for a down payment on a home — and when real estate prices exploded soon after, he pulled another $150K in equity back into trading.

Now armed with around $300K, he began refining his process — focusing on consistency, controlled leverage, and daily-expiration option spreads that could be scaled.

His account climbed to $725K, then grew again to a bit above $1 million — the phase he jokingly calls his “Two-Week Ferrari”.

(Yes, he actually texted us a photo…check it out below.)
And the best part? He didn’t disappear.

Alex kept popping up — at live events, over coffee meetups, or by text message — always with a new update.

Each time, the story got more impressive.

Another milestone. Another refinement. Another “aha” about how to make the system even more consistent.

By mid-2025, that same disciplined rhythm had turned into roughly $3 million in trading capital.
He wasn’t chasing meme stocks or gambling on headlines.

He was compounding, managing deltas, and stacking small edges every day — like clockwork.

When word got out, the hedge funds started calling.

They wanted to know what he was doing — and how.

That’s when Mike and I knew we had to fly out to meet him in person.

We sat down, trade by trade, and broke down his system.
And what we discovered wasn’t some brand-new invention.

It was the Money Press Method at its core — modified and refined for a new era of daily expirations, faster feedback, tighter risk, and a smoother rhythm.

The same foundation that’s helped thousands of traders finally find consistency…
now optimized for the pace of today’s market.

“So What Do We Do With This?”

I’ll be honest — after many conversations and meeting with Alex, we wrestled with that question.

When you see something that powerful, something that consistent, you can’t just ignore it.
  • Do we keep it private?
  • Do we build a hedge fund?
  • Do we share it with our students?
  • ​Could the average trader really do this?
We went back and forth for months.

But one thing kept coming up — the very reason Traders Edge Network exists in the first place.

We’ve always believed in sharing ideas, refining them together, and helping traders master real, repeatable systems.

That’s how we met Alex.
That’s why our community thrives.

So we decided: we wouldn’t keep it secret.

We’d build a structured program where traders could actually learn and trade alongside Alex — with coaching, context, and accountability over a full year.

After countless discussions, meetings, and planning sessions… Diamonds was born.

A 12-month mentorship and execution program that teaches you to trade Alex’s refined system — the Modified Money Press for daily expirations.

It’s not a replacement for the Money Press.

It’s an extension of it — the natural next step for traders who want to master consistency in the market that exists today.

Paying It Forward:

The Network at Work

One of the things I love most about Alex is his heart for helping others.
 
After his success, he could’ve easily taken a hedge-fund offer, traded privately, and disappeared.

But that’s not who he is.

He reached out to me and said,
“Preston, I want to give back. This process has changed my life — I want to help others experience it too.”
That’s the spirit behind Diamonds — and it’s already creating ripple effects inside our network.

Take Jeff, for example.

Jeff has been part of Traders Edge for more than 16 years.

He’s traded through bull markets, corrections, and everything in between.
When Alex began sharing his process, Jeff took a deep interest.

He studied Alex’s methods, met up in person to trade alongside him, shared ideas, and even added a few of his own refinements to fit his rhythm.

And the results?

Jeff started the year with about $70,000 in his trading account.
By year-end, that account had grown to roughly $700,000.

When he texted me that screenshot (you’ll see it below), it wasn’t to brag — it was to share his excitement.

Stories like Jeff’s are why we do this.

They prove what can happen when traders help traders — when a community shares, refines, and grows together.

Introducing:

 Diamonds

After seeing results like Alex’s and Jeff’s, we knew this couldn’t just be another short-term training or one-off webinar.

It needed to be something bigger — something that could guide traders through the full rhythm of the market, season by season.

That’s what Diamonds is.

It’s not a “course.” It’s not theory.

It’s a living mentorship — a 12-month journey where you’ll trade shoulder-to-shoulder with Alex, myself, and the Crew, and learn how to master daily-expiration setups the right way.

Why 12 months?

Well, for one, we wanted to make sure we "locked" Alex down for long enough that we could all learn this together. 

But also because the markets move in seasons.

You’ll trade through rallies, pullbacks, earnings cycles, and macro events.
And you’ll gain the one thing no short course can give you: repetition under guidance.

True mastery doesn’t come from watching videos — it comes from seeing the process work across every market condition, with a mentor by your side.

That’s the heartbeat of Diamonds.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Is this day trading?
No. Diamonds focuses on short-term options (0DTE and near-expiration setups), but it’s not high-frequency scalping. You’ll spend about 15–30 minutes per day managing positions within a structured plan — no glued-to-the-screen chaos.
 How much trading experience do I need?
If you’ve gone through the Money Press Method or understand the basics of options, you’re ready. We walk you through everything step-by-step, and you’ll see the process applied live in real time.
 How much do I need to start trading this strategy?
You don’t need a specific “minimum” to start learning. Many members begin by following along in a simulated or paper trading account while they’re getting comfortable or gathering funds.

That said, once you’re ready to trade live, starting with around $20,000 or more is very realistic — that’s roughly where Alex began about five years ago when he started refining the process that became Diamonds.
 Is there any guarantee?
We can’t guarantee profits — nobody can. Losses are always possible.
But here’s our Diamond Standard Guarantee:
If we don’t deliver net positive performance with Diamonds, you’ll be entitled to a full, no-questions-asked refund.
That’s how confident we are in the value and process we’re delivering.
 Why 12 months? Why not shorter?
Because skill is built through repetition and experience.
Markets move in cycles — bullish, bearish, and everything in between.
Diamonds gives you the full year to master the rhythm and gain confidence across multiple market environments.
 Do I get to see Alex’s trades in real time?
Yes. Through Daily Diamonds, you’ll see Alex’s real-time alerts, setups, and trade commentary. You’ll understand the why behind each move — not just the what.
 Are refunds available for other reasons?
Because access to all training materials, alerts, and mentorship begins immediately upon enrollment, tuition is non-refundable except as covered by the Diamond Standard Guarantee above.

Live 2026 Performance Update (First 4 Months)

4 Months Update: What’s Actually Happening Inside Diamonds

Let me be straight with you…

2026 has not been an easy year for trading.

In fact, just recently, Norm Zada — founder of the U.S. Investing Championship — shared something that really caught my attention:
“2026 has been a very difficult year. After two months, only 20% of entrants are currently profitable.”
That means 80% of traders — even highly competitive ones — are struggling in this market.

The Reality of This Market

Since we kicked off this first Diamonds cohort on December 1st, 2025, we’ve seen:

    • Sharp drops
    • Violent reversals
    • Choppy, directionless conditions
    • Headline-driven volatility

This is the exact kind of market that:
    • Punishes emotional trading
    • Destroys “directional guessing”
    • And leaves most traders frustrated, confused, and stuck

But Something Different Is Happening Here…
Despite all of that…
Inside Diamonds, we’ve been watching something very different unfold.
Not perfection.
Not hype.

Progress. Confidence. And real results.

Alex’s Performance (First 3 Months)

Starting from a fresh reset of a $300k account at the beginning of the cohort… Alex has methodically navigated this chaotic market environment — and built steady performance through it. His account has seen an increase of $1.2m in that time span. 

Imagine that! $300k --> $1.5m in 4 months.

No guessing. No gambling. Just structured, disciplined execution.

Real Progress. Real Numbers.

While major indexes have been flat or down:

  • Diamonds accounts have been growing
  • Members are learning how to manage risk
  • And many are building consistency for the first time

And More Importantly… The Members

Because this isn’t just about one trader. It’s about what happens when people are given:

  • A clear system
  • Real-time guidance
  • And a community that reinforces discipline

What This Really Means

Look…

We’re not here to claim that every trade wins.

Or that this market is easy.

Because it’s not.

But what we are seeing is this:

When you combine the right strategy…

with the right structure…

and the right guidance…
Even in one of the toughest trading environments… people can start to turn the corner.

And We’re Only 4 Months In…

This is still early.

The first cohort is just getting started.

Skills are being built.

Confidence is growing.

Systems are becoming second nature.

If You’ve Been Sitting on the Sidelines…

Watching…

Waiting…

Trying to figure this out on your own…

Just understand this:

This market isn’t getting easier.

But with the right approach…

It can start to make a whole lot more sense.

Final Thought

If only 20% of traders out there are profitable right now…

The question isn’t:

“Is trading hard?”

We already know the answer to that.

The real question is:

“What are the profitable traders doing differently?”

Diamonds answers this question.
