I'm not a
Wall Street insider.
I'm one of you.
A Desert Storm veteran, a husband, a father, a grandfather — and a guy who had this idea for twenty years and finally got to build it.
One idea.
I've been fascinated by options trading for as long as I can remember. The mechanics made sense to me — defined risk, limited capital required, strategies that can profit whether a stock goes up, down, or sideways. But I'm not a programmer, and everything I wanted to build required technical skills I didn't have. So the idea sat. For twenty years, it sat.
I wasn't on a trading floor. I wasn't managing a fund. I was a working person with a day job, the same as the people I eventually wanted to serve. I just kept thinking: there has to be a better way to do this for someone who can't watch a screen from 9:30 to 4:00 every day.
Nobody taught me how much I could afford to lose."
that missed the most important thing.
Before I built IVIntel, I was the customer. I enrolled in two expensive options trading courses. Both were well-produced. Both promised results. And both made the same critical mistake.
- Hours on candlestick patterns — hammers, doji, engulfing candles, morning stars
- Chart reading, trend lines, support and resistance levels
- How to identify a setup — but not what to do when it goes wrong
- How much to risk per trade — barely covered
- When to exit a losing position — glossed over
- How to define maximum loss before entering — never asked
- Market regime check first — L1 reads VIX, SPY trend, breadth, and sector rotation before a single stock is evaluated. In DEFENSIVE conditions, no signals are sent that day.
- 900+ stocks scored every morning — S&P 500 + S&P MidCap 400 candidates are scored 0–100 across six quality factors. Only scores ≥ 45 advance to pattern analysis.
- 7 defined-risk strategies only — Bull Put Spread, Bear Call Spread, Iron Condor, Cash-Secured Put, Covered Call, Bull Call Spread, Bear Put Spread. Maximum loss is known before entry on every one.
- IVP routes the strategy — IVP ≥ 50 triggers credit strategies; IVP < 50 triggers debit strategies. The system picks the right structure for current volatility conditions, not the same type every day.
- A or B grade only — the composite 7-dimension score must reach 75+ to publish. A grade (85–100) ships immediately as highest conviction. B grade (75–84) ships at the daily send. C, D, and F are rejected regardless of how good the chart looks.
- Consistent internal tracking rules — IVIntel logs every signal using fixed exit assumptions: 50% profit target, −40% stop loss, 21 DTE time exit. These are how we track our own performance — not rules you're required to follow. You trade your account your way.
- Transparent paper trading track record — every signal the system generates is logged with entry, exit, and P&L — wins and losses, nothing excluded
These standards reflect the IVIntel methodology for signal generation and performance tracking. Subscribers place their own trades through their own brokers and are solely responsible for their position sizing, entries, exits, and risk management.
I trust you?
It's the right question to ask anyone sending you trade signals. Here's my answer — not a pitch, just the truth about how I operate.
They're how I was raised.
