Flows and positions are *everything*... just look at the SPX case studies

Flows and positions dictate market behavior.

One more time...

"Of course"- you might say. "We've never doubted the laws of supply & demand."

But these markets are different.
No longer *efficient* in the traditional sense- they have become intensely efficient in the systematic sense.

Case(s) in point? . . .

DECEMBER OF 2022

After moving through FOMC and December OPEX- the SPX entered a low volume period.

Low volume periods are our favorite.

Why?

Because against a low volume, or low liquidity backdrop- systematic forces, and hedging demands related to large positions both become dominant in determining market price and volatility.

The market proceeded to plod along, and just like a strong magnet- the large SPX open interest in the Dec30th 3835 Call (you may know the fund..), which option dealers were long acted as a PIN.

A very strong one.

APRIL OF 2023

After SPX OPEX cleared option positioning and associated supportive mechanical hedging flows-

CTA suddenly became relevant- as the market lost its "floor"

Now, our Discord isn't about trade signals- it's about teaching traders the reality of modern market structure.

Once you see the Matrix, you no longer fall for its traps.
You put it to work for you.
We (publicly) fought-off our bearish inclination until *just the right moment*.

On April 20th '23:

"This is the first day in which I am comfortable taking a modest short entry next week: 4/26 3900-4100 Put Fly"

Have a look at the chart (and our *precision-timed* tactical short) 

AUGUST OF 2023

This one should be fresh in your memory- and we pounded the table with our view throughout most of late July / early August on both our subreddit and Twitter...

 July OPEX cleared the deck of supportive positioning

 Large, well-timed AGGRESSIVE trades forced MMs into *negative* gamma

Magic . . ?

No. Much more straightforward-
The market is DOMINATED by systematic and structural volatility trades

which happen no matter what is going on in macro.
The market is DOMINATED by these positions, which require mechanical

hedging by the dealers which carry them.

The markets are DOMINATED by systematic, rules-based futures flows which- when understood- can be strategically incorporated to IMPROVE your own trades, and NAIL short-term entries.

All of these forces are impacting price, and either constraining or exacerbating both trend and volatility.
