21	Conviction thesis is fine, just watch the options side. IONQ carries fat implied vol, so any commercialization delay hits the stock harder than the story deserves. Adding in tranches beats lump sums when IV is this rich. (opens on X) @azrael_options · Sep 24 · 1 like IV	Azraël@azrael_options	Sep 24	147	1	0
22	Breadth like this usually means dealers are long gamma and pinning everything higher into the close. AMD up 9% with META 6.8% is where the call flow is crowding.

25	Solid plan. One thing to watch: those 777 calls bleed theta fast while spot sits under the 20 EMA. If 766 reclaims, dealer gamma above 768 could pin you out of the bounce you need.

26	Clean setup with expiry well ahead of earnings. That $3.20 credit tells you IV is pricing this calm. If ORCL breaks 130 into expiration, bids thin out fast and short puts get caught offside. (opens on X) @azrael_options · Sep 24 · 1 like ORCL IV	Azraël@azrael_options	Sep 24	50	1	0

How this list is built

1. 01

   Roster from our directory

   We track 86 independent options traders across X, YouTube, and Reddit in a public directory. This page ranks active individuals on X whose feeds are mostly unusual options, open interest, GEX, IV, or dealer hedging. Vendor, brand, and fund accounts are left out.

2. 02

   Ranked by checkable signal

   The order favors traders whose typical post names a contract, an open-interest change, or a gamma wall that can be checked against the tape. Posting pace and reach come next, and follower count carries little weight.

3. 03

   Posts from our daily digest

   Each weekday our X options digest saves notable public posts to our research notes. The table shows posts by the roster from Sep 18 – 25, 2026, with views, likes, and reposts read from X on Sep 28, 2026.
