Don Kaufman here. |
Alright, let me blow your mind with something, okay? |
For decades, they taught us that options follow stocks. Big volume doesn't mean much without context. Retail traders are just noise. |
Then Brandon Chapman - this CMT who literally writes questions for the Chartered Market Technician exam - proved all of it wrong. |
Not with theories. With results. Nineteen straight winning trades in 75 days, okay? |
The Chart That Changed Everything |
Here's what happened that made me realize everything I thought I knew was backwards. |
Brandon shows me this data from his system. He's tracking when retail traders buy massive call volumes. Traditional theory says this is "dumb money" - ignore it, fade it, whatever. |
But Brandon's doing forensic work on this stuff. Six, seven hours a day analyzing WHY there's volume, not just THAT there's volume, okay? |
What he found will piss off every finance professor in America. |
The options tail is now wagging the stock dog. |
When retail buys calls in size, market makers have to buy stock to hedge. When they buy stock, price moves up. When price moves up, more retail buys calls. It's a feedback loop, and Brandon figured out how to spot them before they explode. |
Why 15,000 Contracts Means Nothing (Until It Means Everything) |
Take that Plug Power trade that got away from me. Fifteen thousand contracts. Most people see that number and think "big trade, must be important." |
Brandon goes deeper, okay? |
He's asking: What strike? What expiration? What's the delta? How much stock do market makers need to buy to hedge this? Is this a dividend play? A merger arb? Or is this positioning for a genuine squeeze? |
Most of that volume? Noise. But when Brandon finds the signal - when the forensics line up - you get results like 222% on Plug while the stock rips 106%. |
That's not luck. That's systematic edge, okay? |
The Retail Revolution Nobody Saw Coming |
Here's what traditional Wall Street missed completely. They kept thinking retail traders were random, emotional, unpredictable. |
Brandon realized they're actually creating predictable patterns. |
When retail piles into calls on beaten-down names, it creates what he calls "squeeze bars." The mechanics are simple: enough call volume forces market makers to buy stock, stock price rises, more calls get bought, more stock gets purchased. |
ARK Innovation: Stock down 34%, retail sentiment bearish, but Brandon spots 5,000 contracts positioning for the bounce. Result: 70% move in 70 days, 58% profit. |

|
Marathon Holdings: Down 68%, looks dead, 4,000 contracts say otherwise. Stock rockets 76% in 34 days, 74% gain. |
The Forensic Edge |
You know what separates Brandon from every other options trader I've seen? He doesn't guess. He doesn't trade gut feelings, okay? |
It's pure forensic analysis. |
He's built a system that identifies when retail call buying will actually move the underlying stock versus when it's just noise. When the setup is right - when the forensics align - he strikes. |
Nineteen times in 75 days. Nineteen wins. |
52.6% account growth while most traders are getting destroyed. |
Why This Changes Everything |
Look, I ran education for seven million clients at TD Ameritrade. I've seen every trading system, every methodology, every "edge" you can imagine, okay? |
Most of them are garbage. Backtested nonsense that falls apart in real markets. |
But Brandon's approach? It's based on actual market mechanics. Real order flow. Predictable market maker behavior. |
When you understand that options now lead stocks instead of following them, when you can identify real squeeze setups versus noise, when you know exactly how much stock market makers need to buy to hedge... |
That's not gambling. That's forensic science. |
The Method Behind the Madness |
Here's what Brandon's teaching now. Not just alerts - the actual methodology, okay? |
How to identify legitimate squeeze bars versus fake volume. How to calculate gamma exposure. How to time entries before the mechanics kick in. How to manage risk when you're wrong. |
Two-hour live masterclass next Tuesday breaking down the forensics. Twelve weeks of live trading where you watch him work. Daily access where he explains his analysis in real time. |
The target? 50% in 90 days. Based on his track record? That's conservative. |
Why Every Options Trader Needs This |
You know what the biggest edge in today's market is? Understanding that everything changed, okay? |
Retail isn't noise anymore. Options aren't just derivatives. The mechanics that drove markets for decades got flipped upside down. |
Brandon figured out the new rules before anyone else. Nineteen straight winners is just the proof. |
The question is: you gonna keep trading like it's 1995, or you gonna adapt to what markets actually are today? |
