The Alerts Table

The home page of the tracker is one big, sortable table — every alert, one per row, with its live performance. This page explains every column so no number is a mystery.

The Pure Power Picks alerts table, with the most-asked-about columns numbered

① Alerted At — the baseline price every % is measured from (a small adj tag means the entry was adjusted).   ② Max Opp — the highest the contract traded after the alert.   ③ Max Opp % — the headline max opportunity.   ④ Status — the live thesis‑health badge.   ⑤ Days Left — the expiry countdown.

Two ways to view it

Use the view toggle to switch between Modern view (the styled table) and Classic view (a spreadsheet‑style grid with milestone columns). On phones, the table becomes a stack of cards showing the same key fields. See Filters, Views & Analytics.

Column reference

ColumnWhat it showsWhat it means
TickerThe stock symbol (e.g. AAPL)The underlying company the option is on.
AlertedA date (e.g. 2/16)The day the alert was published to members.
TypeCALL or PUTA call profits if the stock goes up; a put profits if it goes down. See the Glossary.
StrikeA price (e.g. $175.00)The strike price of the contract — the price level the option is built around.
ExpirationA date (e.g. 3/21)The day the contract expires. After this date it no longer exists.
Alerted AtA price (e.g. $3.50)The contract's price at the moment of the alert. This is the baseline every performance number is measured from. May show a small (adj) tag — see Entry states below.
Max OppA price (e.g. $6.50)The highest price the contract has traded since the alert.
Max Opp %A percentage (e.g. +85.7%)The max opportunity: how far the contract ran from the alerted price to its peak.
Max Opp DateA date + day count (e.g. 2/23 (5d))When that peak happened, and how many market days it took to get there.
CurrentA price (e.g. $4.20) or What the contract is worth right now. Shows once the contract has expired.
Current %A percentage (e.g. +20.0%)Where the contract stands right now versus the alerted price.
ScoreA number 1–10The analyst's quality score for the alert at publish time. Higher = a more researched, higher‑conviction setup. Color‑coded green (high) to red (low).
StatusA badge (e.g. Working)A live read on the thesis health, based on where the stock is trading versus its key levels. Full list on Alert Statuses.
Days LeftA bar + count (e.g. 7d)Days until expiration, shown as a shrinking bar (green = plenty of time, red = expiring soon).
Actions⭐ and ➔Star adds the alert to My Alerts; the arrow opens the full detail page.

Max Opp vs. Current — the key distinction

Two columns trip people up at first, so it's worth being clear:

  • Max Opp % is the best the contract ever did after the alert — its peak. It already happened and never goes down.
  • Current % is where the contract is right now — it moves up and down all day.

A contract can show Max Opp +85% while Current sits at +20%. That's normal: it means the contract ran to +85% at its peak, then pulled back to +20%. Neither number is "wrong" — they answer different questions ("how far did it go?" vs. "where is it now?"). See Max Opportunity for the full breakdown.

Entry states: pending & (adj)

Before performance can be tracked, the alerted price has to actually be reachable in the market. An alert can be in one of three entry states:

StateWhat you seeWhat it means
Pending"Awaiting bid" in place of the % numbersThe alerted price hasn't traded yet, so tracking hasn't started. The performance columns stay blank until it does.
AdjustedAn (adj) tag on the Alerted At priceThe originally alerted price never filled, so tracking was moved to the closest price that actually traded. The numbers are honest — they measure from a price you could really have gotten.
NormalA plain price, no tagThe alerted price traded and tracking started immediately.
Why "pending" and "adjusted" exist

This keeps the tracker honest. If a contract's quoted price never actually traded, counting a move from it would inflate the results. Pending/adjusted states make sure every percentage is measured from a price the market really offered.

Reading a row at a glance

A typical row reads like a sentence:

NVDA · CALL · $130 strike · exp 3/21 — alerted at $4.10, ran to $7.95 (+93.9%) on 2/27 (4d), now $6.20 (+51.2%), status Working, 9d left.

Translation: a bullish NVDA call alerted at $4.10 peaked at +93.9% four market days later, is currently up about 51%, the thesis is progressing as planned, and there are nine days until expiration.
