ABOUT / Kevin V. Willemsen

From Retail Thinking to Institutional Perspective

About the Author

I’m Kevin V. Willemsen investor, author, and orderflow trader with over 20 years of experience in the financial markets.

I didn’t start this work to sell strategies or promise shortcuts.

I started it because most traders are taught to look in the wrong direction.

For years, I traded the markets the way most retail traders do: indicators, patterns, confirmations. Over time, it became clear that price doesn’t move because of indicators it moves because of intent. Institutions don’t react to price. They position before it moves.

That realization changed everything.

Institutional Intent

Institutional Intent is the foundation behind all my work.

It represents a shift away from retail thinking indicators, patterns, and reactive trading toward understanding why price moves before it moves.

Markets are driven by liquidity, positioning, and intent.

Banks and institutions don’t wait for confirmation; they prepare in advance.

Institutional Intent exists to expose that layer.

Not as theory.
Not as prediction.

But as a practical framework for reading market behavior through the lens of those who actually move price.

This work is about clarity, execution, and structure and learning to see the market the way institutions do.

Retail reacts. Institutions prepare.
