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

Life is fleeting
Cherish every moment with whomever or whatever you love. We lost our sweet Gia this morning completely unexpected. Totally fine last night and within 6 hours of waking up she was deathly ill and taken from us. Pet your animals a few extra times tonight for us.

Red to green, "we're sooo back", but the trend is still lower.
Don't make the mistake so many traders make by confusing a bounce with a trend reversal.
Remember what I said a few days ago. Short covering can create some powerful moves to the upside. That doesn't automatically mean a new trend is forming.
Let price prove the reversal before you start calling the bottom.
Buy the higher low pull back
♻️ IYT still sleeping but huge moves for IHI and XLP relatively
Bear harmonic on SMH wow
signs of rotation
if we get breadth expansion here are some sectors i think are at good areas
IYT - rising weekly 50SMA, golden pocket, IFVG - UBER is making its first higher low in a broadening formation and other transport names seeing EOY flow
IHI - base break out, retest in golden pocket - some of these names do start reporting soon - uptick in singular flow names
XLP - huge outside bar, WMT waking up, seeing flow in other sector names like the PG set up i posted earlier in the week
SMH - bearish gartley pattern is starting to take shape, would watch this monthly candle forming as its not a great look - some outliers and stronger names than others
i have joked a lot about the pokemon market being the top in the past year for equities when it blows up
it is currently experiencing the blow off top - this is not a good sign imo
if you like pokemon and are new to it, please do not buy or invest in anything modern i'd say past sun and moon era - hot take
it will all come down tho
guys this is one of the best things to look for on reversals that i've personally seen for weekly charts but everything is fractal and this should work on any time frame just higher time frame = more powerful the move
bullish outside bars at a significant discount or imbalance zone
bonus points if it wiped out prior range lows and immediately reversed
XLP now going outside month, insane move for staples
worth a follow, good guy and if you're curious about analysis past a moving average posts some cool stuff
just gonna keep shagging this until it gets the engagement it deserves / you gotta be a demon to nail this move
millions of people spend their entire year trying to articulate this . i did it in one post . from low to high . simple $GME
on todays episode of insider trading $GTLB
Insane. Anthropic has replaced Git with its own version control system after Claude-driven coding pushed daily code merges from 2,500 to over 30,000 in just four months.
A team of seven built Scion, a new code review tool and several related systems in five months. Scion uses 200x less CPU and memory than Anthropic's previous Git mirroring infrastructure, while CI saves 25% of CPU capacity.
An early Claude Mythos Preview rewrote a hand-built pipeline to use 20x less memory and run 4x faster, with no further instructions.
All the engineers who built the system now rate Claude as better at writing code than themselves.
