🚨 I’ll be live at 1:30 p.m. ET 🚨
Stonkamania is off today but I’ll be live at the usual time to do a full rundown of my new K.I.R.A. trading bot, share some trades and more [tap to join us]!
Let’s talk about something that’s been bugging me for years…
Most traders are using tools that show them what’s already happened — not what’s about to happen next. Candlestick patterns, moving averages and crossovers — all that traditional technical analysis stuff is backward-facing.
And that’s a massive problem in 2026.
These indicators show us what the stock has already done, not what it’s likely to do next. You’re essentially driving forward while staring in the rearview mirror. Sure, you might get lucky sometimes but you’re also going to miss what’s coming right at you.
That’s where most AI systems fall short too. They use backward-facing metrics to make predictions about the future and that causes inconsistencies with performance. They’re just faster at looking backward — but backward is still backward.
The Forward-Facing Advantage
Here’s what actually works: Reading forward-facing metrics to forecast how a stock is likely to move over the next one to five days.
I’m talking about analyzing abnormal spikes in options activity. When you spot unusual option flow, you’re seeing something that hasn’t fully played out in the stock price yet. It’s a signal about what’s coming — not what already happened.
There are moments when the surge in options activity becomes so aggressive it can physically move the share price. That happens because market makers have to hedge the other side of those trades. When they’re suddenly forced to buy or sell large amounts of shares to manage their exposure, that hedging pressure pushes the stock in the direction of the activity.
You’re catching the spark before the fire spreads.
The K.I.R.A. AI system we’ve been talking about all week operates on this exact principle. It doesn’t track candlestick patterns, moving averages, crossovers or any common technical signal. Instead, it reads those option activity spikes and uses that data to outline a stock’s likely reaction.
And the real magic is in the timing. Once K.I.R.A. flags a spike, the system breaks down the entire move in real time. That instant readout lets you act while the setup is still unfolding instead of after the crowd has already piled in. Real-time data is what makes forward-facing analysis actionable, not theoretical.

Look, the technology behind this is sophisticated — it uses the same AI trusted by the U.S. federal government. But the user experience is straightforward. You wait for K.I.R.A. to flag a spike in option activity, let the AI analyze the data in real time, then follow along with the trade alert.
Stop relying on indicators that only tell you where you’ve been. Start focusing on the signals that show you where you’re going. That’s the difference between guessing and actually having an edge.

Order Flow:
This is for informational and educational purposes only. These are not official alerts issued by Lance, but rather some interesting orders picked by the team at Lance Ippolito Trading.
When you look at these plays, always take the market maker move into consideration.
You can be right on the direction but still lose money if the stock doesn’t move enough. That’s where the market maker move comes in clutch.
With puts, they’re often downside hedges in case a stock tanks, especially around earnings. The further out of the money they are, the more likely they are to be hedges.
Also be sure and check when the company’s earnings date is because many of the plays we post here are centered around earnings!
If a stock is really expensive, consider a spread to lower the cost.
And finally, always remember the golden rule when it comes to buying calls: Buy dips, sell rips — and don’t chase!
If a stock’s moved a ton already today, maybe wait for a pullback.

Algorithmic trading has been a tool reserved only for the highest bidder — aka Wall Street.
By deploying robots that handle both analysis and execution, they’ve been able to completely remove the human emotional element…
Allowing them to take advantage of opportunities retail traders wouldn’t even know existed.
At lightning speed, they’re in or out of their positions before their move even has the chance to register on the charts.
That’s why instead of the regular lagging indicators, I built K.I.R.A.
With the power of AI, it’s taken pattern recognition and financial forecasting to a level that’s never been seen before.
Giving retail traders the opportunity to get in on moves that would typically go right over their heads.
Of course, there were smaller wins and trades that went against us — there’s no such thing as a guarantee in trading and you can lose money.
But I’d like to show you exactly how K.I.R.A. is able to tip you off to some of the market’s best opportunities.
As a bonus, I’ll hand you complementary access to K.I.R.A. so you can try it out for yourself!
