Options Flows w/ Trader X

🔄 My Process for Trade Ideas

Price Charts: Price action setups + trends. Then I look at each time frame: monthly down to 60 hour.

Price Targets: I want to know what my reward is ahead of time if I take the risk. I filter out trades by finding the best trades based on targets.

Options Structure: What is the size of the trade and how do I want to express it? Direct calls or a spread?

Execution: Triggers get me into a trade, what is my trigger to say this is ready to now buy?

There’s an easier way to look at the markets from the traders lens and by that I mean using a reputable process that just focuses on making quality short-term trades over and over without worrying about excess noise that distracts most would be investors. And I know this because fifteen years ago I was that investor reading news articles, subscribing to numerous services, spending hours each night scanning charts and then really never getting to a place where I had something that was reputable. In 2016 I met Dan at a conference he was speaking at and that’s when the first light-bulb clicked for me when he explained how he traded options using a short-term framework. He wasn’t talking to me about reading the VIX, looking at indicators, put/call ratios or following news but he was talking about the price-chart, trends and this idea of trading certain stocks that were ideal for trading options on and all of this was new to me but something clicked then and there. I don’t know what it was exactly that made the change in me but from that point on all I’ve done is look to create less noise, less inputs and less research time in my process which is what I do today in my short-term trading framework in this membership.

And it all starts with the price chart. And as simple as that sounds if you were like me it never made sense but it was staring me in the face the entire time! The markets trend naturally, whether that’s an uptrend or down trend they do trend and those trends are generated primarily by algorithmic trading anymore. So, what I try to do is just focus on price-action and short-term trends to spot short term moves that last 1-20 days on average and all of this starts with the price chart. No unusual options flows, no news to track, no chasing a new headline of the week: I simply just look for trades on certain names that are displaying great price-action setups.

That’s the first part, finding the setups. I do that with a curated list of ideas I make from the Longvol Report as well as other names I am tracking but the key is I know what the tailwinds that are driving the names are meaning I know if they just had a great earnings report, are doing share buybacks or if there is some material change happening at the company. This is the “why” which Dan taught me to figure out a long time ago and as he said “If you can understand the why” then when you look at the price chart you have more confidence in the move that’s next. The second part is just then me setting the trade up ahead of time by finding targets, the options trade I want to use and then the size of the trade (which should be based on your account size). I do all of this on Sunday and share it with subscribers and what you will see is this makes this approach easier because you won’t have to sift through charts each night or wake up each day like I used to do trying to find a trade. It also makes this a repeatable approach because I don’t have to be reliant on a news article, some unusual options activity or other data, I can just focus on stocks that are already ready to make moves and simply just wait for the trigger to get in.

This is a good membership for those who were like me years ago where I didn’t have a repeatable process, spent nights and mornings looking at charts and overall just having a cluttered approach. I keep it really simple because it is simple once you learn to look at it this way (like I did over ten years ago) and for some it may take you time to adjust but once you do you’ll see that less noise and a repeatable approach creates much less stress! I send out my 3 best ideas every Sunday with charts, trigger entry, price targets and the options trade I plan to use with it.

Also, you should subscribe because I post my real P&L with the actual trade logs so you can see that what I talk about here is what I actually do which is important to me. One thing that learned from Dan was that most can talk about trade calls but actually executing on it was different so back when I started I used to send him my results (even the bad months) and it helped me to get the feedback I needed to evolve. These are not hypothetical trades, these are all real which cannot be said for many gurus today. One thing I do not do is post daily recaps because there is really no need to do because I really just focus on the 3 best ideas each week and until they set up I don’t go around chasing random news headlines because I am patient. I do post 2-3 times a week to recap my trades from the Sunday post covering insights to the trade, the trade logs so you can see them and then give you a recap of other things from the SP500 and other trades that might have set up during the week that I was also tracking. So, sometimes you might end up getting more then 3 trades a week, again, it all just depends.


Overall, you’re getting a membership that is focused around options trading using a repeatable approach that is dicated by understanding price-action and charts. This provides you with trade ideas ahead of time so that you don’t have to sit there daily wondering what’s next and you won’t get bombarded with daily posts just to waste your time instead you’ll get posts that are filled with useful content including my trade logs, options insights and any new ideas that I see during the week that are actionable. Plus, you’ll get someone who is transparent with all of their trades which is just a bonus for all of you so you can hopefully be motivated to push yourself to learn this approach!

There is a free 7-day trial that you can use to test it out and even aside from that it’s only $50/month which is really nothing in comparison to the value you get.
