The Move Starts Before Price Shows It

Hey Don here,

Markets don’t move randomly.
They move when pressure reaches a breaking point.

After more than twenty years watching this play out, I’ve learned that by the time price makes a clean move, the work has already been done by larger players positioning quietly in advance.

That’s why I follow Ghost Prints, the framework created by Brandon Chapman to reveal institutional accumulation and distribution as it’s happening—not after the fact, and not from a headline.

That process led to:

• KSS +375%

• PLUG +222%

• Early positioning in SMCI, XLU, and GDXJ

This isn’t about volume for the sake of activity.
It’s about selectivity.

One setup at a time. Clear levels. Defined confirmation.
You know where you’re involved and where you’re wrong.

Each weekday after the bell, we break it all down during Ghost Hour.
That’s when the tape gets honest, and Brandon walks through what institutions are signaling in real time.

Right now, you control what your first month costs—and that rate stays locked for as long as you remain active.

If you want to stop chasing moves and start understanding where they begin, this is where to look.
