Be My Partner, Not My Customer

Dear Trader,

Welcome to Hot Money Trader!

Your order is being processed, but before it’s finalized, I want to offer you something I’ve never done before.

In fact, what I’m about to propose is so bold, some might think I’m crazy.

But in the next few minutes, I’m going to do my best to convince you not to be my customer… and credit you back your $2,500.

I never thought I’d say this…

But I don’t want you to join any of my individual services.

In fact, in this short letter, I’m going to do everything I can to convince you NOT to join my flagship research advisory or any of my standalone offerings.

Instead, I want to offer you something better.

Rather than simply being my customer, I want to invite you to take the next step…

To go beyond following Hot Money’s explosive trades…

And become my partner in a select group of traders who have access to every elite resource I’ve ever created—and everything I will create in the future.

This isn’t just an offer.

It’s an opportunity to elevate your trading and investing to a whole new level.

Why?

Let me be honest with you: The financial research publishing model, as it exists today, is broken. It’s focused on selling “flavor-of-the-month” ideas, hopping from one “weird trick” to the next.

It’s designed to keep you chasing the next big promise rather than giving you the tools to build lasting wealth.

That’s not what I want for you. I want to help you achieve financial growth, build confidence in your trading decisions, and provide you with ongoing access to premium insights and tools that can give you an edge in the market.

Why I Want You as a Partner, Not Just a Subscriber

When I left Wall Street in 2009, it was a hell of a time—the world was reeling from a financial crisis unlike anything we’d ever seen before.

My dream was simple: trade for myself and a select group of accredited investors. I didn’t want to run a traditional hedge fund—the overhead costs and structure didn’t align with my vision.

Instead, I turned to a new model: Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). This allowed me to trade clients’ accounts without taking custody of their funds. It was revolutionary at the time, as it cut costs dramatically while maintaining transparency and trust.

But as every young trader full of ambition discovers, the markets have a way of humbling you.

It was a tough period—I faced steep losses for my clients, legal challenges from competitors with deeper pockets, and the emotional toll of carrying all the weight myself.

What I learned from that time is this: the lone wolf doesn’t survive.

The pack survives. Success in trading and investing comes from collaboration, shared insights, and partnerships. No one gets rich alone—that’s the hard truth. This realization led me to think differently about how I could help others navigate the markets.

When I started Belanger Trading, my goal was to bring the same caliber of tools and insights I had on Wall Street—Bloomberg terminals, high-priced research, and proprietary data—to individual traders who were ready to level the playing field. I wanted to rewrite the financial publishing model.

Operating Belanger Trading on these principles puts far less money in my pocket, but it’s a decision I stand by because it reflects my commitment to building something meaningful for traders like you.

By prioritizing transparency, collaboration, and access to the best insights, I aim to create a lasting impact on your financial journey, empowering you to navigate the markets with confidence.

It would make more “business sense” to stick to the old ways. But this is the firm I’ve always wanted to build—a small, intimate group of dedicated traders, working together to achieve exceptional results.

Together, we work from an office just blocks away from the CBOE—a hub of trading history—delivering independent financial research and actionable recommendations. Nobody tells me what I can or cannot write, and there are no bureaucratic demands for constant growth.

This freedom allows us to focus on what matters most: equipping you with strategies that work.

Why This Matters to You

For years, I partnered with some of the top financial publishers in the world—firms generating hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. But the more I saw how the sausage was made, the clearer it became: The traditional model wasn’t designed to serve people like you.

Most publishers were focused on selling the next “big idea” or the latest “can’t-miss” trade. Their approach wasn’t about creating lasting value for readers—it was about driving up sales. And the endless cycle of hyped-up promises left traders like you feeling overwhelmed, confused, and stuck chasing strategies that didn’t work long-term.

I knew there had to be a better way.

That’s why I set out to create something different. A place where traders like you could find clarity, confidence, and strategies built for real-world success. Not just the promise of quick wins, but a foundation for consistent, long-term growth in the markets.

This freedom to focus on what matters most—equipping you with strategies that work—is why I launched Belanger Trading.

It’s about putting your success first.

That’s why I made a radical decision when I started Belanger Trading: I wouldn’t follow their model.

Instead, I decided to:

1. Eliminate Annual Fees: No more nickel-and-diming readers with endless renewals.
2. Focus on Core Services: Only offer a handful of research advisories—the ones I believe are essential for building lasting wealth.
3. Cut the Marketing Gimmicks: Deliver actionable insights without exaggerated claims.
