In this brief monologue, the speaker explains that market makers such as Freddie, who hedge around $2 billion daily, possess an in‑depth, vertical understanding of option flow levels that retail traders can never achieve. The speaker argues that this knowledge gap stems from the massive scale and professional expertise of market makers like Freddie or Matteo, and recommends that retail traders surround themselves with multiple seasoned professionals to acquire deeper, non‑superficial insights into options markets.

The explanation on how Freddie was hedging $2 billion per day as a market maker gave me an explanation on how the levels on the option flow work that no retail trader will ever be able, because he was doing this. So someone from the market making field like Matteo or like Freddie can give to me and also to you something that being retail still nowadays will never achieve. And you need to surround yourself with multiple professionals that can give you vertical knowledge on what you know from a superficial level.
