So why should you subscribe?

There’s an order flow to the market that most retail investors do not understand. The focus is always on fundamentals, having focused on this throughout my life I can vehemently tell you that fundamentals are last on the totem pole in terms of importance. There is an order that dictates direction and it starts with options flows, then come charts, and then come fundamentals. Why? Because 90% of the market is computers trading and they trade off triggers and those triggers are the moving averages we see in charts. Charts in their simplest form are visual representations of buying and selling. We want to be in things being bought, if you do that, markets are a lot less painful.

The key to this product is the daily option flows. I handpick things based on my parameters. Why do you want 500+ daily trades when someone can pick you the most interesting ones? If something odd happens, I will find it and log it for you with the premiums paid. Why the option flows? Because you want to know what big money is doing right now, correct? While most investors focus on 13-f releases which are months after the buy, I note the unusual options activity daily, and even live for those who want that in the live tier which is available at checkout. It’s uncanny how equities move after big players make these trades. In every daily recap I go over what recent trades I noted that worked out. So I take a unique approach that I developed in my career where we look at what options flow are happening and combine it with technical analysis to give an edge on the direction of a trade. That’s it. I’m taking all the available data available to me and trying to give you the best trade opportunities around based on what bigger players are betting on.

One of the coolest features of the database is the AI generated trade ideas. This isn’t simply call buying or put selling, this is my parameters combining moving averages and option flow to build better trades than what’s in my database. What do I mean better? I mean if someone buying $300 calls on AMZN, the database will take that trade, turn it into a 300/350 call spread and then combine it with a put spread sale if you’d like so now you’re long those AMZN calls but instead of paying for the trade you’re getting paid or paying way less to put it on and the levels chosen for the put sales are all derived from the data in the database and improving on. Take a look:

What you will notice above is the database gave 3 trades on Amazon: A risk reversal with defined risk, an income trade with defined risk, and a 2x1 ratio with defined risk. Why do I have it build trades with defined risk? Because sometimes the bottom falls out of stocks and you want your max loss known. With this trade it fits all budgets and you can see the risk reversal was for a debit but the best idea was for a credit meaning not only was the trade free but it paid you to put it on. Under every trade there is an AI generated explanation of why that trade was chosen. I’m constantly tweaking this to my parameters but it is building some really high quality ideas to add to all the ideas I give out myself. This lets me apply myself to every name in the database vs the 5 names a day I highlight.

This is a good product for those who seek option flow data with a guide on direction, is it for everyone? No. I’m now one of the top 4 Finance Substacks with nearly 15,000 subscribers so that should tell you that others find enough value here to stick around. Yes, other options services exist, some may even be cheaper, but I built this by taking what I didn’t like about those and fixing it. I curate a great list of trades daily so you don’t have to waste time. I highlight trades in depth, I filter the noise to give you only the most unusual action I see daily. I’m biased but I think this is the best bang for the buck out there. I have a unique method that I developed over time and I’m not sure anything similar to this approach is out there. This process is repeatable and understanding how to combine option flow with technical analysis is something you can apply across any ticker. This methodology helped me find direction on names while looking for an edge. I’ve taken a fairly complex and difficult to understand topic like options data and organized it in a manner that removes all the hard work while highlighting the best trades daily to simplify your life in a short daily recap.

Also you should subscribe because I’m honest, while everyone else is posting their excel spreadsheet gains, I post my trades and gains straight from my book. My open book is included in every recap. When I execute a trade you can see the size in the volume on the option chain. I don’t make trades often but when I do they come with a deep insight on the how and why. Aside from that, I’ve posted all my real returns from day 1 where I’ve outperformed the market by almost 9x as of today June 2,2026 since I began writing this substack in June of 2022 as you can see below. The big drawdown in the last few months included a massive tax payment withdrawal. I’m not perfect, I do occasionally lose too as you can see below, but I always manage to learn from my mistakes and right the ship quickly. We went through a really rough patch when I started writing before the great 2023 we just had but I always managed to find trades that worked utilizing my own method of digging through the options data to find the trending names that I share with you all daily.

Aside from all the above, the community alone that has been built around this substack is incredible. You will get a welcome email when you sign up, it includes access to a discord server where you have some of the biggest names on Twitter along with many finance professionals bouncing ideas in multiple channels. There are over 2,500+ active daily users and it has become one of the best corners of finance on the internet. Lots of the people you know off fintwit are in there. You can ask questions from some of the best traders around. You can watch what they’re doing as they post their trades, you can discuss specific companies in their specific channels, and it is quickly growing with new members daily. The link to the discord is in the welcome email when you sign up.

As I said earlier, for those who seek even more, there are 7 live channels in the discord that is for those who choose that option when they’re subscribing here upon checkout. It provides everything you get in the recap but in real time for the active trader who wants to capture moves as the options data is coming in. There is a live feed, a discussion area for 400 or so members, and a live trades tab where everyone posts what they’re taking. Options move quick and while I do get the recap out mid day, this is live and gives you access immediately so you can enter trades right away. It’s around $10/day and if accessing this data live with that community cannot help you generate that back many times over, you’re in the wrong hobby. The discussion in there is top notch if you’re looking for a very serious community to take your trading to the next level, if not there are plenty of trading channels within the discord that all the other members discuss trades in, just without access to the live data.

Overall you’re gaining access to over 100 trades a month that I highlight individually, along with nearly 3,000+ unusual options trades a month to pick from added to the database. On weekends you get a deeper dive into a best idea that I highlight based off charts and option flow. Whether you’re an active trader or a passive investor, understanding trends on what big money is doing in the markets matters. Options flow dictates the moves you see, big funds position themselves in trades through the options market and nobody highlights the trades the way that I do. I’m constantly adding new functionality and I am light years ahead of where I was when this began 3.5 years ago in terms of user experience and it’s getting better by the month.

In the end there is a free trial, give it a go, you have nothing to lose.
