Brandon Chapman here.
There's a version of last week where I lose money on XLU.
I see the all-time highs. I notice the bullish momentum. I follow the crowd. I buy.
Instead, I pulled up the options flow — and saw 15,000 put contracts bought on a single Friday. That told me the crowd was about to become the liquidity. So I went bearish.
By Tuesday, I was up 30% on that spread.
It happened again ahead of earnings. Bullish retail setups were everywhere — convincing ones. But the flow was showing 31,000+ put contracts hitting ahead of the print. That's institutional money positioning against the move. I followed the institutions, not the hype. Entered bearish. Exited the day after earnings for a 100% gain.
Two setups. The difference between winning and losing was knowing where to look.
That's what I'm teaching this Monday at 2PM ET — live, free, no pitch.

Here's why this week matters:
The market has been locked in a 3% box for weeks. Retail traders are getting chopped. But underneath the surface, my Ghost Print surveillance console has been tracking institutional pressure quietly building on the downside. Fresh signals are starting to emerge — and I'll be breaking everything down live on Monday.
What I'll cover:
- How to read institutional pressure before the price move happens
- Why I believe the 3% box is about to break — and which direction
- The squeeze traps I identified and avoided last week
- What Ghost Print is showing me right now going into next week
- How to distinguish a real institutional move from a retail trap
I'm also watching something developing in commodities. Backwardation in oil futures. Massive spread trades in GLD and SLV. Geopolitical risk building. The weak dollar environment is setting up what could be a major commodities run — I'm tracking every piece of it and I'll share what I'm seeing Monday.
The market tells you where it's going. You just have to know how to listen.
Monday. 2PM ET. Come learn the language.

P.S. — Last week I watched traders get trapped in setups that looked great until they didn't — Walmart, Oracle, and others. I saw those traps coming because the options flow told a different story than the chart. Monday I'll walk you through my exact process from start to finish.
