In 1996, I was a 22-year-old kid from the Bronx executing $50,000 trades for a French bank's asset management division.

By 2023, I was Head Trader overseeing $40 billion across three dozen global markets—and I'd learned the one secret that separates institutional winners from retail losers:

Institutions don't predict. They follow money flows.

While retail traders chase headlines and hot tips, institutions track where capital is actually moving. They rotate systematically. They cut losses fast. They let winners compound.

After 27 years on Wall Street, I've moved to Miami to manage private wealth—and teach individual traders the institutional "edge" that most will never see.

That's exactly what The Options Basket Newsletter delivers.

Here's what I learned managing $40 billion that most retail traders will never discover:

The market isn't random. It's rotational.

Every week, institutions move billions between sectors based on money flow data—not news, not predictions, not technical analysis. They have algorithms tracking where capital is flowing in real-time.

Most individual traders? They're still reading yesterday's headlines and chasing last month's winners.

That's why 90% lose money while institutions consistently profit.

The Options Basket gives you the same advantage: a systematic way to follow institutional money flows before the moves happen.

Step 1: Grade the Market
Every week, we analyze sector strength using the same metrics institutions use—capital flows, relative performance, and volatility patterns.

Step 2: Build the Basket
We select 3-5 high-probability options plays in the strongest sectors, with precise entry points, targets, and stop-losses already calculated.

Step 3: Manage Risk
Small, controlled losses ($194.45 average) when we're wrong. Let winners run ($348.42 average) when we're right. No emotions, no guessing.

• ❌Most traders: React to news, chase momentum, hold losers too long
• ✅Our system: Follows money flows, cuts losses fast, compounds winners
• ❌Most traders: Emotional decisions, no consistent process
• ✅Our system: Rules-based, systematic, removes emotion completely
• ❌Most traders: One-size-fits-all picks with no risk management
• ✅Our system: Position-sized trades with pre-set exits on every play

The result? 118.79% cumulative returns by doing what institutions do: following the money, not the hype.

After 27 years of institutional trading, I don't trade on hunches. I trade on data.

But here's what the numbers really mean:

🎯 Risk Management That Actually Works
While most traders blow up chasing 10-baggers, we focus on consistent base hits. Small losses, bigger wins, compound growth.

🎯 No Emotional Baggage
Every trade has predetermined exits. You know your maximum loss before you enter. No hoping, no praying, no "diamond hands" nonsense.

🎯 Institutional-Grade Timing
We're not predicting where the market will go. We're following where institutional money is already flowing—and getting in before retail traders catch on.

This isn't a day-trading system that requires watching screens all day.

Monday & Thursday alerts. Clear instructions. Pre-set exits. Done.

Perfect for professionals who want to grow their accounts without turning trading into a second job—and retirees who need consistent income without the stress.

Here's the problem with most trading systems: they're static.

They give you the same strategy whether we're in a bull market, bear market, or sideways chop. Meanwhile, institutions are constantly rotating capital based on changing conditions.

Our system adapts every single week.

Every Saturday: Live Swing Trade Sessions (Annual Members) - We analyze where institutional money flowed the previous week and build the game plan for Monday's trades

Every Monday: You get fresh trades aligned with current money flows

Every Thursday: Mid-week updates and new opportunities as they develop

• ✅Never Fighting the Trend - You're always aligned with where the smart money is moving—not where it was moving last month.
• ✅No Bag Holding - When institutions exit a sector, so do we. No emotional attachment to losing positions.
• ✅First-Mover Advantage - You're positioned for moves before they hit the financial media—often days or weeks ahead of retail awareness.
• ✅Weekend Preparation (Annual Members) - Join the live Saturday sessions to see exactly how we analyze money flows and prepare for the week ahead—no guessing what the plan is.

Bottom line: While retail traders are reacting to yesterday's news, you're already positioned for tomorrow's moves.

Most trading systems are designed for 25-year-olds with decades to recover from mistakes.

This system is different.

Whether you're approaching retirement, already retired, or simply need your trading to generate consistent income—not just chase the next 10-bagger—our approach prioritizes capital preservation with steady growth.

🎯 Predictable Hold Times
Average 12-day holds mean you're not tying up capital for months. Your money stays liquid and working.

🎯 Controlled Downside
$194.45 average losses mean no single trade can devastate your account. Sleep well knowing your maximum risk.

🎯 Consistent Opportunities
Monday and Thursday alerts = 8 income opportunities per month. Regular chances to compound your gains.

🎯 No Day Trading Required
Perfect for professionals with day jobs or retirees who don't want to stare at screens. Check in twice a week, follow the plan, done.

If you're 55+ and lost 40% in 2008... then another 30% in 2020... you know you can't afford to "buy and hold and hope" anymore.

You need a system that:

• Generates regular income while markets are good
• Protects capital when markets turn ugly
• Doesn't require you to become a full-time trader

That's exactly what institutional money flow tracking delivers: consistent income through systematic sector rotation with disciplined risk management.

  Get the exact plays that generated 118.79% cumulative returns—with precise entry, target, and stop-loss levels. No guesswork, no analysis paralysis.

• ✅Pre-Set Risk Management
