Daniel Roos
Dan began his career on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, where he quickly rose through the ranks to become lead Index Trader and youngest Capital Partner at Belvedere Trading, one of the largest and most respected index market-making firms in the U.S.

‍
For more than a decade, Dan was a head trader on the SPX market-making desk, leading a team of floor and electronic traders responsible for quoting and trading massive volumes in index options. He has firsthand experience managing order flow and risk across rapidly changing volatility regimes including the 2008 GFC, 2018 Volmageddon, and the 2020 Covid Crash.

Beyond trading, Dan also served as product owner for multiple technology teams, helping design and refine the firm’s proprietary execution algorithms and trader-facing tools. He also developed Belvedere’s first comprehensive firm-wide options theory training program, shaping the next generation of professional traders.


Dan founded VolSignals to correct the misinformation he saw proliferating online—and to bring genuine institutional insight to traders who take their craft seriously. His expertise in market microstructure, flow analysis, and the behavior of systematic participants powers the analytical foundation of everything VolSignals produces.
