Club Mission

Learn what roles institutions such as banks, market makers, and hedge funds play in the financial markets and how they manage risk to generate massive revenue. Most retail day traders are unprofitable, with over 80% quitting within the first two years. We, as individual traders, seek to avoid such unprofitability by taking a more fundamental approach to the market similar to that of institutions.

Our three focuses are as follows:

1. Futures trading on major indexes. We use order flow, displayed in footprint charts, market profile, and volume profile, combined with key economic data and news to determine potential market direction.

2. Options trading on mid-to-large cap stocks. We explore various options strategies suited for different situations and their risk profiles. Our specialty is nondirectional premium selling, since sellers generally win in the stock market (the buyers are usually wsb RH permabears). In most cases, we delta-gamma hedge when short options.

3. Developing proprietary trading algorithms for stocks and forex. The majority of day traders rely on price action patterns and technical indicators, which can be exploited to identify high-quality setups through herd-induced confluence.

We discuss additional topics such as market making, market psychology and securities fraud.

Fun fact: The theta symbol in the logo represents the time premium we collect from "traders" (gamblers) buying worthless, high-IV weekly options from us sellers, only to have them expire OTM. In other words, we embrace negative gamma exposure for compensation from theta decay.
