Research worth reading.
Execution worth keeping.

The people who move markets are required to tell you what they buy. We read those filings the day they appear, and the software that comes with your membership acts on the desk’s positions while Hong Kong sleeps.

A disclosure is public the moment it is filed. The distance between the two marks is the entire opportunity, and almost nobody is reading in it.

Market intelligence

SENT AS FILED

Almost all of it is public. Almost all of it is read too late to be useful. We watch the filings continuously and send what matters the day it appears — not in a summary at the weekend, by which time the move has happened.

01

Congressional disclosures

Pelosi  ·  Trump  ·  committee chairs

Members of Congress must report their trades within forty-five days. We monitor every filing and flag the ones that matter, with particular attention to those who vote on the industries they hold.

02

Institutional positioning

Burry  ·  Citadel  ·  Aschenbrenner

The funds worth following, and what they actually did. What was bought, what was sold, and what remains actionable by the time the filing becomes public.

03

Corporate insiders

Form 4  ·  13D

Filtered rather than forwarded. Who is buying their own company, at what size relative to what they already hold, and whether a cluster of them means anything.

04

Listings and index events

IPOs  ·  lock-ups  ·  additions

The calendar, and the parts of it that have historically moved price. Upcoming listings, expiring lock-ups, and the flow around index rebalancing.

05

Options flow

Volume  ·  positioning

Where volume is concentrated, which names are being accumulated, and what the positioning suggests about the sessions ahead.

III

Who writes it

THREE TRADERS

One has won the US Investing Championship. One has placed. One leads his division this year.

The championship is a real-money contest with independently audited accounts. It does not accept a trader’s own figures. That distinction matters more than any win rate: the record above was verified by someone other than the people who produced it.

Every position is published as it is taken. Positions are trimmed in stages rather than held to a target, which is why the losing months cost less than the winning months make.

Their identity stays inside the membership. A desk with a public following gets front-run, and the edge does not survive being handed to everyone.

IV

The software

INCLUDED — NO SEPARATE FEE

The US market opens at half past nine at night in Hong Kong and closes at four in the morning. Reading a call is not the difficult part; being awake for it is. Members receive software that follows the desk’s positions in their own brokerage account through those hours.

01

The desk takes a position

Our server reads the call and calculates the size against the settings you have chosen.

02

Your machine places the order

In your own Futu account, under your own credentials, which never leave your computer. We cannot access it, withdraw from it, or trade it beyond the positions you have chosen to follow.

03

The position is managed, not merely opened

When the desk trims, you trim. A profit floor rises beneath a winning position and never falls. A position whose underlying breaks down is closed without waiting to be told.

04

You set the size

What proportion of your account the software may use, and how much goes into a speculative position against a high-conviction one. Adjustable at any time.

No separate fee, and no performance fee

The subscription is for the research. The software is provided because it makes the research actionable, not as a product in its own right.

Your account remains yours

We hold no client money and manage no assets. The software can be switched off at any time without affecting your membership.

V

What it requires

BEFORE YOU APPLY

The research requires nothing but an inbox. The software is more demanding, and it is better to know now.

A funded Futu account

With US options enabled. If you cannot buy an option by hand in the app, the software cannot either.

A computer that stays awake

Between half past nine at night and four in the morning, Hong Kong time. If it sleeps, the software stops until you wake it.

Sufficient account size

The strategy works by trimming a position in stages. Below approximately USD 100,000 there are too few contracts to divide, and the result is a coarser version of the same approach.

The contracts the desk trades have finite liquidity. Beyond a certain number of members buying the same option in the same minute, execution deteriorates for everyone — including members already here. The cap reflects that constraint rather than a marketing decision.

We are early, and taking applications one at a time.

VII

Applying

WE SPEAK TO EVERY APPLICANT

This is not a checkout. Tell us what you trade and what you expect this to do for you, and we will tell you honestly whether it suits. If it does not, we will say so.

Email us Join the Discord

The Discord invitation places you in a waiting room rather than the members’ area. Each request is approved individually.

Once accepted, the alerts, the setup guides and the desk’s commentary become available, and the software arrives the same day.

What you are buying, and what you are not PLAINLY

Your subscription is to caffenatd. research — a publication covering congressional and insider filings, institutional positioning, upcoming listings and market analysis. The execution software is provided free as part of that membership. It is not sold separately and carries no additional or performance-based fee.

caffenatd. is a publisher. Nothing in the research, in the Discord, or in the software is personal investment advice, and none of it takes account of your circumstances, objectives or needs. We are not licensed to give investment advice and do not do so.

Trading options involves substantial risk and you can lose more than you expect, including your entire position. Past performance — ours, the desk’s, or anyone’s — does not indicate future results. The figures on this page describe positions the desk has taken publicly. They are not a promise, a projection, or a representation of what any individual member has earned or will earn.

The software places orders in your own brokerage account, under your own credentials, which remain on your computer. We cannot access, withdraw from, or otherwise control your account. You remain responsible for every trade placed in it, and you may switch the software off at any time without affecting your membership.
