Hey Traders,
Markets have been pure chaos lately, huh?
Stocks are whipping up and down, the Dow’s dropping hundreds of points, and traders have no clue what’s coming next.
So in times like these, one of the things I like to do is follow the whales.
Because Wall Street always has an edge — they’ve got better info, better connections, and access to moves that small traders like you and me will never see coming.
But here’s the thing…
Even though they try to operate in secret… They always leave a trail.
And if you know where to look, you can ride their coattails to some incredible trades.
The GameStop Example No One Talks About
Remember GameStop in early 2021?
Everyone thinks it was just a bunch of retail traders on Reddit driving it up.
And while retail traders definitely played a big role, there was something else happening behind the scenes.
As early as late 2020, there were reports of unusual options activity in GameStop, with large volumes of call options being traded before the stock really took off.
Whether it was hedge funds repositioning, insiders making a bet, or institutions quietly loading up, those massive trades hinted that something was brewing.
And sure enough — as the frenzy hit, those options exploded in value.
Now, I’m not saying Wall Street knew exactly what was going to happen…
But when you see massive, unusual options trades hitting the tape, it’s almost always a sign that something big is coming.
And here’s the kicker — this kind of thing happens all the time.
Big-money traders place massive bets in the options market before stocks make big moves.
The Power of Tracking ‘Flood Orders’
These massive bets? I call them Flood Orders.
Because when they come in, it’s like a dam breaking — huge waves of cash flooding into certain options contracts.
Maybe it’s a hedge fund positioning before a big announcement…
Maybe it’s a trader with inside info making a move before earnings…
Maybe it’s a firm with deep connections seeing something we don’t.
But the bottom line is — when the big players start dropping millions on a trade, they’re not doing it for fun.
How I Trade This Edge
So how do you track these Flood Orders and turn them into high-probability trades?
Well, it’s not easy. And I didn’t even do it all myself. I teamed up with Lance Ippolito to be able to spot these hidden whale orders.
And we just hosted an event where we broke it all down.
