Options Trading Training

Learn from the Desk, not the Textbook

Most traders don’t fail because they lack information. They fail because they lack direction from people who have actually done it. What we offer is instruction from real professionals you can’t find anywhere else. From technical precision to disciplined mindset, it’s like getting to sit beside a CEO while they build their company — only this time, you’re building your trading career.

Why Serious Traders Trust VolSignals

Decades of institutional experience. Real edge.

Why VolSignals

We started VolSignals to open the door to a world that’s usually closed off—professional derivatives desks and exchange trading floors.

Our mission is to give real traders access to the same level of insight, discipline, and data tools that institutions and market makers rely on every day to navigate today's options driven markets with clarity and confidence.

The Cboe itself now points to the "institutional-level thinking behind what has become retail trading's newest frontier," recognizing that today's traders are mastering the sophisticated strategies once reserved for the trading floor.

Whether you’re a professional trader, an ex-pro managing your own capital, or a retail trader looking to level up, our mission is the same: to help you see the market the way professionals do.

We’ve spent decades on trading floors and bank desks, making markets and managing risk. Now, we’re bringing that experience directly to you.

Insider Perspective

Frustrated by the lack of accessible, high-quality market intelligence, we built VolSignals to deliver actionable signals and education that go beyond surface-level technical analysis.

Since leaving our institutional seats, we watched retail and even professional traders rely on incomplete data, secondhand interpretations, and simplified narratives that miss the real drivers of price and volatility. Most of what’s taught about options and market structure bears little resemblance to how professionals actually trade.

We wanted to change that.

VolSignals was created by traders who’ve spent their careers on the inside making markets, running institutional derivatives desks, and navigating every volatility regime imaginable.

We aim to share the frameworks, habits, and perspectives that separate career traders from everyone else. We’re not academics or influencers, we’re real practitioners whose experience was forged in the markets.

Daniel Roos

Dan began his career on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, where he quickly rose through the ranks to becomelead 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.

Matthew Nadel

Matt has spent nearly three decades trading equity derivatives at the highest levels. Before VolSignals, he built and ran derivatives desks at some of the world’s most respected financial institutions—including JP Morgan, MorganStanley, Société Générale, Royal Bank of Canada, Credit Suisse, and UBS.

Over the course of his career, Matt has managed large and complex books consisting of SPX and VIX as well as other indexes. He has led teams of traders and quants and consistently generated strong performance through a wide variety of equity and volatility regimes.

As a market maker and desk head he was responsible for pricing, execution and risk management in some of the most competitive markets in the world. His deep understanding of index volatility, correlation structures, and flow-driven price dynamics continues to shape how VolSignals approaches its analytics and education.

Matt’s strength lies in his ability to translate institutional-level experience into lessons that traders can actually use. He is able to bridge the gap between theory and reality for traders who want to think and operate like professionals.
