Stock and Options Trade Setup — Motorola Solutions, Inc.
NYSE · Technology (Public Safety Communications) · Moderate-liquidity options · Large cap · ~$80B
Motorola Solutions is one of the highest-quality compounders in technology. The Land Mobile Radio (LMR) business is a near-monopoly franchise in public safety communications — police, fire, EMS, and federal agencies are locked into Motorola P25 standard, and refresh cycles are 10-15 years long with very high replacement loyalty. The Video Security & Access Control segment (Avigilon, Pelco) and Command Center Software business add recurring high-margin SaaS revenue that compounds in the mid-to-high teens. International public safety market expansion (UK, Australia, Latin America) provides additional growth runway. Federal grants accelerate refresh cycles independent of macro. Operating margins are best-in-class for an industrial-classed business at 25%+. Capital allocation has been disciplined with consistent buybacks. Risk profile is low. Options liquidity is moderate; medium-duration directional setups have been productive.

MSI Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is MSI a good options trade today?+
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 80/100, ranking it top 10%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is MSI's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
MSI's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 0%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past MSI trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for MSI?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the MSI setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh MSI's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If MSI drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for MSI?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to MSI: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is MSI outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. MSI currently scores 80.
How does MSI compare to other Technology (Public Safety Communications) setups?+
MSI's sector rank and percentile against other Technology (Public Safety Communications) tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Technology (Public Safety Communications) Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
