If we’re perfectly honest, running a trading group is a selfish endeavor for us…
Just not in the way you think.
(understanding what we’re going to lay out is key for you to determine which groups are legit and which ones are trader mills).
90% of people who run a trading group are just trying to fund their own trading by churning through novices with promises of quick, big wins.
We don’t agree with that approach and don’t need the extra income.
Though that doesn’t mean we don’t benefit from our group.
For one, they give us an opportunity to teach all levels of traders, which keeps us sharp.
When you live, eat, and breathe the markets for the better part of 4 decades like us, you accumulate wisdom that we believe is our duty to pass down to those who share our same insatiable appetite for all things trading.
In fact, we like to look at ourselves more as professors of market dynamics than simply traders.
And yet, despite our experience working at some of the most well-known institutions globally, we still benefit from many of our traders.
The market is so infinitely complex that it’s impossible to keep up with it entirely.
But when you have a hive mind of killers like we do in the group, the level of trading for all rises sharply.
There are those who specialize in NQ and ES futures and can tell you with great accuracy when the market is about to turn.
We have others who are expert in technical analysis and reading tape.
Others are constantly pointing out flows in real time on different tickers they are watching.
And pretty much everyone has their specific stocks that they know intimately… how they move and when to take advantage of a specific set-up.
Contrast this to other groups we have been a part of in the past, where it was much more a parasitic, guru-type relationship.
The leader would take on any novice trader, showing off his million-dollar days, while the majority of his subscribers were simply YOLO copy-trading and blowing up their accounts.
No real education, no real value created by any of the others in the group.
This never sat right with us and we decided it was time to elevate the level of trading for more serious traders.
That’s why we created Trade Flow Lab, where we’re dedicated to serving those who…
→ Want to learn from traders who’ve actually managed real (big fund) money, not just posting personal wins online.
(Because when you’re trading, you want to be able to think like the big boys).
→ Are looking to be consistently profitable and don’t need to hit home runs at every at bat.
→ Want to learn trading skills that they can use into old age and pass down to their children.
We’re here to serve the good guys, the ones who have families to take care of, who can’t watch every tick every day, who have aspirations beyond just making money.
And, yes, we’re going to have fun doing it.
We’ve got you.
Fire 0DTE plays to round out the day in the group, all called out in real time.
If you’re with us, would have easily covered your monthly membership.
That MOC was a layup for SPX calls. 20c went 4x 30c went 10x. Great edge that it would pop. Then after we took profits on long @GranderTheGreat nailed the 30p for 6x for the reversion trade back to 20 SPx magnet. 🧲

Knowing how to trade futures is important if you trade options because when premiums are juiced it’s easy to lose money on options when vol dies down.
Futures you just have to get the direction right and learn to cut your losers fast.
Congratulations @DrakesDayTrades on his first 1000 point NQ futures win. The team at @TFLabofficial absolutely murdered the long today.
This is why we do what we do.
We provide you with expert guidance and education so you can trade efficiently and profitably.
Join us.
@themissinglinks is second to none.
Insane day in the group.
While we have members of all different trading accounts, we have several who have 7-8 figure accounts.
While we aren’t for beginners, if you have any bit of edge we will help you optimize that.
@redbadbear and @themissinglinks lead us. Yet we have many other killers.
We had a play-by-play today that was second to none.
Insane fun and extremely profitable for many.
Join us, there is no better time than now that the midterms are behind us.
In the group we have many features that help you gain an edge.
We have a squak bot that calls out news in real time.
We even have a MOC bot that helps you take 0DTE trades at the end of the day.
Trading should not be about gambling. It’s about having an edge and using it to your advantage.
We’re here to help you accentuate that edge.
Wow, insane trading day.
This is where the hive mind of the group thrives and where you can make a killing if you know how to trade a high volume environment.
@Riot_Trades nailed it. With huge vol you need to know how to trade futures because options become extremely pricey on days like this if you don’t get in early.
50k banked in the group yesterday for one of our members 🔥
FOMC today and big time earnings after market close today and tomorrow.
One of those days where you’re typically best minimizing trades until the end of day.
Lot of option premiums tend to get churned.

A surprising number of our members are software engineers who trade on the side.
With layoffs, there’s downtime you can fill with trading smartly — not degenerately.
Generally, engineers tend to be better at this.
They like systems.
They like to look for trends.
They like to learn.
All strong characteristics for a profitable trader.

Wow $AMZN cleaned house.
Anthropic just reported an $80.7B loss for the first half of 2026.
Revenue was $16.3B. The operating loss was only $693M.
So where did the other $80B come from?
A few pieces of paper Amazon bought in 2023 and 2024.
Rewind to September 2023.
Anthropic was valued around $4B, a distant second to OpenAI.
Andy Jassy's Amazon wanted a frontier model of its own on AWS.
On Sept 19, 2023, Amazon signed a convertible note deal with Dario Amodei's company:
- $1.25B up front, another $2.75B in March 2024
- 8% interest, 10 year maturity
- Convertible at $20.93 a share
In November 2024, Amazon came back with $4B more:
- Paid in three pieces through November 2025
- 8.5% on the first piece, zero on the rest
- Convertible at $50.48 a share, a 10% discount to the next round
Then the valuation went vertical:
- $61.5B in March 2025
- $183B in September 2025
- $380B in February 2026
- $965B in May 2026, at $589 a share
Now do the math.
A note that converts at $20.93 into a $589 share is worth 28x its face value.
The 2024 notes are worth almost 12x.
Accounting rules make Anthropic carry these notes at fair value.
Every quarter it asks what Amazon would get if it converted today.
Any increase goes through the income statement as a loss.
$6.2B of principal is still outstanding:
- Carried at $41.7B on Dec 31, 2025
- Carried at $108.6B on June 30, 2026
- That $72.4B jump is most of the loss
Another $8.8B came from booking new funding deals signed with Google and Amazon this spring.
Same story in 2025: $34.3B of a $42B loss.
So why are the notes still there?
Amazon has an ownership cap.
Each new round triggered conversion, but anything above the cap rolled into a fresh zero interest note.
Then the next round marked those up too.
Strip the marks out and you see the real business:
- Q2 2026 operating profit of $974M, its first ever
- Positive $3.9B cash from operations for the half
But somebody does pay for this.
At the IPO, the notes convert into shares for Amazon.
Every other shareholder gets diluted.
Amazon has put about $13B into Anthropic.
Its own books now value the stake at roughly $190B.
Possibly the best trade of the AI era.

There’s a big misconception about trading.
That you have to be soulless, maniacal, and driven purely by money.
But that hasn’t been our experience.
In fact, most of our traders see trading as a fun puzzle and money as a tool.
The profits are a means to provide for our families and to give them safety, security, and a fulfilling life.
Sure, we love the game. And we love to play the game.
We love the challenge. We love learning.
But the proceeds are all in service of things bigger than ourselves.
Going on an unforgettable family trip.
Paying for private school.
Helping support our parents in retirement.
If this is you, it’s incumbent upon you to do everything we can to optimize your edge, to improve your skill set to make sure that you are as profitable as possible.
And that is why we are here… to help you improve your edge without spending more time in front of a screen.
Our trading group is designed for busy professionals who don’t have extra time to do market research and stare at charts.
In fact, the process they have right now is too time consuming.
We’re here to simplify that.
To distill down the important areas to focus on each week.
To call out, in real time, when conditions have changed and how that affects your positions.
And to help you stay ahead of a market that is always changing and will churn you up if you’re not on top of things.
Interested?
Come try us out.
A month in the group is typically all it takes for legit traders to be sold.

Shared in the group 45 minutes ago, why $MRNA is dumping hard today.
Can hit $120 next week if news is as bad as stated.
$MRNA with the single most hilarious possible outcome in this study. EFS HR 0.58. Down the the hundredth, EXACTLY what *NEO*-adjuvant treatment with pembro yielded against adjuvant pembro (the nerfed comparator $MRNA studied against) in SWOG S1801.
What does this mean in English? $MRNA’s drug is showing the exact same benefit versus adjuvant pembrolizumab as NEOadjuvant pembrolizumab did.
Even more simply? If you just give patients a few doses of the pembrolizumab BEFORE you cut their cancer out, you do what $MRNA does for you, except with just the free tumor that’s already inside your body. No need to pay for this $400K drug.
And this makes rational sense, right? The whole point of $MRNA’s vaccine is to produce stuff that looks like the tumor.
You know what looks A LOT like the tumor does? THE FREAKING TUMOR!!!!!!
Absolutely poetic that $MRNA produced the EXACT HR benefit as neoadjuvant pembro did. Truly, the most hilarious possible outcome.
Now can we move on from this bullshit? $MRK and $MRNA should feel free to study their vaccine against the REAL standard of care now - NEOadjuvant immunotherapy.
From my perspective, this has been total fugaze, and an amateurish pump and dump worthy of much lesser enterprises.
