Meet Your Instructor
Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley
CEO, TOPGUN Options | Wall Street Managing Director | TOPGUN Fighter Pilot
35+ Years Trading | President, No Fallen Heroes Foundation
Whiz didn't start on Wall Street. He started where you are — teaching himself to trade stocks and options in 1991 as a young Navy ensign, with no mentor. He went on to fly the F/A-18 Hornet in combat and become a TOPGUN adversary graduate. Then Wall Street came calling: Managing Director of Strategy at a multibillion-dollar volatility-arbitrage options firm, then CEO of a financial media company. He built TOPGUN Options as the company he wishes he'd had when he was teaching himself.
He writes the options trading alerts himself. Every position published is one he trades in a real brokerage account — not a paper trade, not a back-test, not an analyst's recommendation he's passing along.
His results aren't hypothetical — they're posted below, straight from the personal brokerage account he trades.

Trader-in-Command
Don't Follow a Guru.
Become the Trader-in-Command.
Most people think you go to TOPGUN for a career. You don't. You go to the mountain, learn everything they have, and go back to your fleet squadron to teach others.
That's our metric of success at TOPGUN Options: you putting the TGO patch on your shoulder and heading back out to the fleet on your own — not staying here forever. Every TGO trade comes with the why: what has to go right, what can go wrong, how much capital is at risk, and the exact point the thesis is dead.
Options aren't magic. They're weapons. In trained hands they define risk, hedge a portfolio, generate income and put conviction to work with less capital. In untrained hands they destroy accounts.
We don't educate. We train.
The Market Is a Battlespace.
Have a Plan Before You Enter It.
Level 1
Strategic
What's happening in the world?
Macro, the Fed, geopolitics, earnings, volatility and the market regime.
Level 2
Operational
Where's the opportunity?
Sector, company, catalyst, timing and risk/reward.
Level 3
Tactical
What's the right weapon?
Stock, calls, puts, spreads, iron condors, synthetics and hedges.
You don't pick the weapon and then go looking for a target.
