The time has come
I’m excited to announce the launch of my own Discord community to start the new year.
Going forward, I’ll no longer be working for BlackBoxStocks or posting on Substack. All of my focus, time, and energy will be dedicated exclusively to this server.
I’ve taken a long time to do this the right way, and I’m proud of the team we’ve put together — not just highly respected traders, but great people I genuinely trust and respect.
• Charts R Us – One of the very few traders I trust with both options flow and higher-time frame market context
• JaviCharts – One of the most respected technical traders on this platform, with a disciplined, repeatable process
• Grime – A seasoned shot-caller with a clear, consistent, and profitable approach
Background & philosophy
I’ve been been a student of options flow honing my craft for 7 years now. For the past five years, I worked live on voice every trading day - teaching flow, breaking down structure, and helping traders navigate real-time market conditions.
I’ve seen multiple market regimes and have learned what actually works — and what doesn’t.
The goal
This community is being built with three priorities in mind:
1. Trade the market objectively, without bias
2. Help members not just make money, but truly learn how to think and trade independently
3. Create a high-quality environment built on professionalism, respect, and camaraderie
Transparency matters
Below is a sample of trades I posted live over the past two holiday weeks—all shared in real time, with confirmed entries and exits:
NVO 1/16 50C 1.10 to 4.2
TGT 1/16 100C 1.14 to 3.48
AMD 1/2 215C 2.97 to 2.56 (loss)
OXY 1/16 42C .62 to 1.28
ALAB 1/16 180C 6.4 to 8.4
AMZN 1/2 235C .40 to .47
What members can expect
• Live voice trading with real-time call-outs and market analysis
• Pre-market breakdowns outlining scenarios, levels, and focus
• Educational content (video and long-form) covering analysis, trade planning, and recaps
• Posted trades and journals from all moderators
• Real-time unusual options flow activity
• News coverage alerts
• Dark pool data, spreadsheets, and real-time print alerts from Charts R Us
Final thoughts
If you’re looking for a serious trading home in 2026 - one focused on development, discipline, and long term consistency - welcome - you’ve found it.
Pricing is intentionally set below comparable flow/trading communities despite the experience on this team. As membership grows, pricing will increase to preserve quality, so early members will lock in the lowest rates.
Looking forward to building something special.
I have a few leftover spots from the discount I sent to my SS members, it is first come first serve.
This discount code is good until tonight at midnight: SUBSTACK2026

$QQQ - That's one hell of a close right there. Two of the five largest trades since inception landed.
called for top on $SMH 10/8 via bearish gartley pattern into a major retracement zone
10/15 sent out a morning video going over the beat up discretionary trade, i referenced $TLT $MCD $HD as rates come down, HD and MCD nearly 10% higher since
SMH went down 16% since and have mentioned multiple times being completely uninterested in semis/ai trade for weeks outside of quick trades in wash out
called for a bounce last friday into mon/tues of this week, qqq rallied 30pts
people would rather see the world burn and light 400K on fire in SPCX calls (which is now 7% lower since i said it looked terrible)
keeping money and knowing when to push > getting dopamine response

$PSI - #1 was good for a week or so, marking the low on Oct 22. #9 arrived today on previous support that has become resistance (blue zone) and put the kibosh on any further advance (for now).
In related news, $SMH has breached the Leopold Liquidation Zone again ($541-$549).

$PSI - Trades 2, 3, 4, and 5 each arrived at a critical pivot. #1 arrived today. If the pattern continues, we should see a bounce in semis in the near future.
Implications for $SOXX, $SMH, $SOXL, $SOXS
HOWEVER **
Complicating matters is that the Leopold Liquidation Zone in $SMH ($541-$549) finally breached after numerous tests leaving price below a very large zone of concentrated institutional activity. In simpler terms, price is below local support.
Now $PSI is much more evenly balanced among its holdings, with $NVDA only comprising about 4% of the fund whereas $SMH is about 19% $NVDA. So they two ETFs can diverge to some degree depending on how $NVDA performs.
$117.88 is the level to watch for bias on $PSI for the next few sessions. Longs unsafe below it.

the amount of insider trading lately has been off the charts $PURR
trade[XYZ] and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, are joining forces to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States.
In just over a year, our markets on Hyperliquid have surpassed $650 billion in volume. They provide continuous price discovery for stocks, indices, and commodities, and have become trusted reference points for retail and institutions alike when traditional markets are closed. Much of the world trades them. Until now, Americans could only watch.
We intend to change that. Subject to CFTC approval, trade[XYZ] and ICE plan to establish a new, dedicated U.S. market, with novel exchange and clearing infrastructure built on Hyperliquid. Planned contracts span equities, indices, commodities, FX, and crypto, with access through participating brokers and platforms. We’ll share more on products, eligibility, and timing as approvals progress.
ICE brings more than 25 years of experience operating regulated markets, clearing, and managing risk. trade[XYZ] brings the product development, market design, and technology behind the most liquid and robust markets on Hyperliquid.
Innovation and the protections of U.S. regulation shouldn’t be a trade-off. Together, we plan to prove it.
ICE is making a strategic investment in trade[XYZ] and joins us in building towards the future of Hyperliquid. A small group of market luminaries is joining as well, beginning with Stan Druckenmiller. For more than four decades, few investors have anticipated the great turns in markets as often as Stan. We’re proud to have him with us for the next one.
We’re building the U.S. market in parallel with our existing HIP-3 markets, which we’ll continue to expand and innovate on. We expect both to flourish. They each have a long road map ahead, from new asset classes to new ways to trade them.
To the Hyperliquid community, whether you were here before us or came because of us, thank you. You took a chance on new markets and you made them matter. You’ll forever be a part of this story.
Anything. Anytime. On ICE[XYZ].
Are you guys seriously surprised that $GOOGL missed?
You had the best signal yesterday.
What was it?
I’ll give you a hint. It wasn’t the chart.

This is what we need more of in communities.
As you guys know, I spend a lot of time studying DP activity and larger TFA, looking for clues on where capital is rotating.
It's no surprise that Aerospace/Defense was one of the sectors where I started getting vocal about.
Even while I've been away from the desk, these guys continue to tag me with their lower TFA, combining it with the broader thesis I've shared.
No trashing each other. No 0DTE gambling. No BS fighting over who's got the smaller 🍆.
Just teamwork. Research, shared theses, TA and everyone executing on their own merits.
Thank you guys!
gross structure on $SPCX
no attempts at that bear gap after earnings yet
very tight VWAP pinch from IPO and lows so should get a good move soon above 150 or below 144/43
i have alerts set at 154.26 for a look above and fail potential and at 143.21 (last weeks low) for a continuation attempt lower
hard to do anything with it in this 3 day range - $TSLA going into honey badger mode so curious how this responds
