Bryan Bottarelli

Role: Co-Founder & Head Trade Tactician · Monument Traders Alliance Nickname: "The King of Fast Gains"

Background

  • Co-founder of Monument Traders Alliance
  • Indiana University Kelley School of Business
  • CBOE floor trader 1999–2000 (Apple computer pit, mentored by top floor trader)
  • Ran Bottarelli Research independently Feb 2006 – Dec 2018
  • Strong technical trader; NOT a macro guy
  • Personal story: sold Star Wars figures as a kid 50x value; bought MJ rookie card with lawn-mowing money for $125, sold for $1,500
  • Has a cabin in Big Sky, Montana (lifestyle/credibility detail used in promos)

Full Bio

Whether it was selling the Star Wars figures he collected as a little boy for 50 times their value or using $125 of grass-cutting money to buy a Michael Jordan rookie card that he later sold for $1,500, it was clear Bryan Bottarelli was a born trader – possessing the unique ability to identify opportunities and leverage those investments.

Graduating with a business degree from the highly rated Indiana University Kelley School of Business, Bryan got his first job out of college trading stock options on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). There he was mentored by one of the country's top floor traders in the heart of the technology boom from 1999 to 2000 – trading in the crowded and lively Apple computer pit.

Recognizing the true value of these methods, Bryan walked off the CBOE floor and launched Bottarelli Research. From February 2006 to December 2018, Bryan gave his precise trading instructions to a small, elite group.

As a "play tactician," Bryan uses his hands-on knowledge of floor trading to shape opportunities and chart formations into elegant, powerful and profitable recommendations.

Marketing & Sales Profile

  • Weaker recently: VSL performance — likely needs the right "big idea," not a Bryan problem
  • Good energy on camera; compelling personal backstory
  • Not a macro guy — avoid macro-heavy angles

Promos (7)

  • ProfitSight Panic Refunds - draft1
    Backend VSLDraft (Untested)6.3/10
    2026-06-29· ProfitSight (Platinum Tier)· Teases: NONE — This promo does not contain a veiled stock pick. All stock examples (FULC, PODD, CMA, ECL, FFIV, META, ORCL, DD, ROK) are named explicitly with tickers as historical illustrations of the system, not as current buy recommendations. The product being sold is a scanner that generates future alerts, not a specific stock tip.

    1. Hook Strength: 7/10 — The "Panic!" headline paired with "collect a refund from every stock that ever tanked on you" is emotionally resonant and specific, and the Fulcrum Therapeutics -51% open is a vivid, concrete lead; the hook earns attention but the interview format slows the emotional build c

  • War Magic
    Backend VSLOld (Inactive)4.3/10
    2026-06-25· The War Room· Teases: NONE — The promo fully reveals all 9 Magic tickers by name: MRK (Merck), NUGT (Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 2x ETF), COIN (Coinbase), WMT (Walmart), RTX (Raytheon Technologies), DASH (DoorDash), XHB (SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF), HD (Home Depot), and CF (CF Industries Holdings). There is no veiled or withheld stock pick.

    1. Hook Strength: 6/10 — The 40-for-40 perfect win-rate in 2022's brutal market is a genuinely arresting claim with specific numbers, but the webinar warm-up preamble ("grab a pen and paper," chat prompts, "trickle in") delays the hook's impact and bleeds momentum before the argument gets going. 2.

  • WAR DOT
    Backend VSLOld (Inactive)4.8/10
    2026-06-25· The War Room· Teases: **Target #1 — Food Delivery Company** - Clues: Food delivery company; charges approximately $20 per delivery; benefited from pandemic lockdowns; lost $461M in 2020, $468M in 2021, $430M in first half of 2022; valued approximately three times higher than competitors. - Best prediction: **DoorDash (DASH)** — the loss figures ($461M, $468M) align closely with DoorDash's reported net losses for 2020 and 2021. The "soggy french fries" delivery description and the pandemic-boom-then-bust narrative fit perfectly. Competitors would include Uber Eats and Grubhub. - Confidence: **High** **Target #2 — Crypto-Focused Stock** - Clues: Crypto-focused publicly traded company; government threatening to shut it down; losing hundreds of millions per quarter; compared to Voyager Digital (which lost 99% from peak); described as a "dumpster fire." - Best prediction: **Coinbase (COIN)** — the largest publicly traded crypto exchange, facing SEC regulatory threats, with significant quarterly losses in 2022. The government shutdown threat and the Voyager Digital comparison point strongly to a crypto exchange rather than a miner. Alternative: **Silvergate Capital (SI)** or **Bakkt (BKKT)**, but COIN fits best given scale and regulatory pressure at the time (August 2022). - Confidence: **Medium** (COIN is the strongest fit; regulatory environment in August 2022 matches) **Target #3 — Work-From-Home Software Company** - Clues: Helps remote employees stay connected; lost money for five consecutive years (2018–2022: -$113M, -$638M, -$351M, -$696M, -$614M); 2020 was its best year and still lost $351M; four to 36 times more overvalued than competitors; projected 3,000% gain potential. - Best prediction: **Zoom Video Communications (ZM)** — the loss figures do not match Zoom (which was profitable in 2020–2021). Better fit: **Slack Technologies** (acquired by Salesforce in 2021, so no longer public). Next best: **RingCentral (RNG)** or **Twilio (TWLO)**. The five-year loss pattern and the "remote connectivity" description most closely match **Twilio (TWLO)** or **Bandwidth (BAND)**. Given the magnitude of losses ($638M in 2019) and the work-from-home connectivity framing, **Twilio (TWLO)** is the strongest candidate. - Confidence: **Medium** (loss figures are the key identifier; Twilio fits best but not perfectly)

    1. Hook Strength: 7/10 — The Voyager Digital 98.97% loss opener is visceral and specific, and "Dot-BOMB, Part II" is a memorable branded concept that immediately frames the stakes; the dual promise (protect yourself AND profit from the carnage) creates genuine forward pull. 2. Believability: 3/10 —

    Front-endOld (Inactive)6.0/10
    2026-06-25· Catalyst Cashouts Live· Teases: NONE (This promo does not contain a veiled stock pick. The investment vehicle is the S&P 500 index via options, with individual stocks mentioned only as historical examples of past Trump-catalyst moves — not as forward-looking tickers being teased.)

    1. Hook Strength: 8/10 — The cinematic White House scene at 7:52 PM is vivid and immediately specific, the "Midnight Tweet" framing is genuinely novel, and the 627% claim with a named catalyst creates strong forward pull for a reader who has watched Trump move markets in real time. 2. Believability

    2026-06-22· Post-Market Profits· Teases: NONE — The promo does not contain a veiled stock pick with withheld ticker. The three stocks featured (Tesla, Nvidia, Home Depot) are named explicitly, and the thirty-stock flip list is referenced but not teased as a specific pick to be revealed upon subscription. The Dark Ticker trades use publicly known ETFs (SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM), all named in the copy.

    1. Hook Strength: 7/10 — The April 7th Home Depot story with the Iran war backdrop and flood of member wins is vivid and specific, but the opening relies on the host setup rather than an immediate gut-punch opening that stops a distracted reader cold; the emotional stakes take a few paragraphs to bu

    Front-endOld (Inactive)4.9/10
    2026-06-20· Trade of the Day Plus· Teases: The promo contains a partial stock tease — the "Next Major American Index" ETF ticker is withheld and promised inside the free report. However, the backup research section at the bottom of the document reveals the ticker directly: **Ticker: NSPL (NightShares 500 1x/1.5x ETF)** Clues given in the copy: - Leverages the top 100 Nasdaq stocks overnight (copy says "top 100 Nasdaq" but backup data references S&P 500 overnight strategy — slight inconsistency) - Launched in late 2022 - Moved from $26.50 to $33.50 in its first 4 months (+26.41%) - Described as automatically doubling down on overnight exposure and reducing intraday exposure - The backup research explicitly names "NightShares" as the creator and references the "Night Effect" - The performance claim in the backup section: "From the launch of this asset in October 2022 to February of 2023, NSPL moved from $26.50 up to a high of $33.50" **Prediction:** NSPL (NightShares 500 1x/1.5x ETF) — confirmed by the promo's own backup research section. **Confidence level:** High (confirmed within the document itself)

    1. Hook Strength: 7/10 — The "Secret Profit Window" concept and the Fed report citation create genuine curiosity, and the counterintuitive claim that intraday returns are negative over 30 years is a strong pattern interrupt; however, the hook takes too long to land its first emotional punch and the

    Front-endOld (Inactive)5.6/10
    2026-06-18· Monument Trend Advisory· Teases: **Stock #1 — Rare Earth / Magnet Materials Supplier** Clues given: - Produces rare earth elements used in the permanent magnets inside humanoid robot motors - Has "the only U.S. mine" that produces this critical material - Already supplies Tesla with materials for its car motors - Government recently invested $400 million in the stock - Stock surged nearly 50% in a single morning after government backing was announced - Positioned as critical to U.S. supply chain independence from China Best prediction: **MP Materials (MP)** — MP Materials operates the only active rare earth mining and processing facility in the United States (Mountain Pass, California), produces neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) used in permanent magnets for EV motors and robotics, has an existing supply agreement with General Motors (and by extension is the logical Tesla supplier candidate), and received a significant U.S. government investment/loan commitment. The stock did surge sharply on government backing news. Confidence: **High** --- **Stock #2 — Semiconductor Testing Equipment** Clues given: - Makes highly specialized equipment that tests semiconductors - Controls roughly 50% of the semiconductor testing market - "Only US-based company that can test advanced chips like the ones used in robots" - Tests the AI chips in Tesla's Full Self Driving cars - 11 billionaires have bought in per Yahoo Finance - Vanguard holds 13% of all shares - BlackRock has invested $2.2 billion - Cathie Wood holds $456 million worth in her fund Best prediction: **Teradyne (TER)** — Teradyne is the dominant U.S.-based semiconductor test equipment company, holds approximately 50% of the automated test equipment (ATE) market, tests advanced AI chips including those used in autonomous vehicles, and is widely held by institutional investors including ARK Invest (Cathie Wood). The institutional ownership figures are consistent with Teradyne's shareholder base. Confidence: **High** --- **Stock #3 — Wiring Harnesses / Nervous System Supplier** Clues given: - Key supplier to Tesla, GM, Volkswagen, Fiat, and most automakers in east Asia - Provides wiring harnesses and other important components - Record revenue in 2025 from the auto sector - Aims to make 40% of revenue from aerospace and robotics by 2030 - Stock trading at a nearly 40% discount to analyst price targets Best prediction: **Aptiv (APTV)** — Aptiv is a leading global supplier of vehicle wiring harnesses and electrical architecture to Tesla, GM, Volkswagen, Fiat, and Asian automakers. The company has been actively expanding into aerospace and robotics applications and has traded at a significant discount to analyst price targets. An alternative candidate is **Lear Corporation (LEA)**, which also supplies wiring harnesses to the same OEM list, but Aptiv's robotics/aerospace pivot language and the discount-to-target description align more closely with Aptiv's recent positioning. Confidence: **Medium-High** (Aptiv is the stronger match; Lear is a secondary candidate)

    1. Hook Strength: 7/10 — The Tesla-caller credibility hook combined with "Elon's gone quiet because he's preparing his BIGGEST LAUNCH EVER" creates genuine curiosity, but the opening is slow to arrive at the core claim and the "radio silence" framing is a well-worn device that reduces its punch. 2.
