@options_insight options_insight
Vol-surface trader who reads dealer gamma and skew to time structured options trades
Trades and teaches options/volatility, expressing regime vie
Grade = how their written analysis reads (A best). Trader score = how their last-20 timestamped calls performed vs SPY. · Analyst brief as of 2026-06-22.
Across their last 20 scored bets: 75% hit rate, +1.08% mean alpha, trader score +1.67. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +2.2% since posting (mean over 15 mentions with price data).
options_insight is mainly trading volatility structure: fade rich SPCX option IV, respect gamma/expiry risk, and only buy cheap vol when it stops bleeding. The main directional equity call is bullish INTC, tied to Apple chip manufacturing and a $150 call-wall target, while SPCX is the repeated bearish short-vol focus. Late-week commentary shifted from SPCX-specific vol crush to broader discipline around cheap IV, gamma pinning, and staying light when no clean setup exists.
The week starts with repeated bearish SPCX vol calls, then broadens into a bullish INTC setup tied to Apple manufacturing and call-wall positioning. Conviction is concentrated in short SPCX volatility and long INTC upside, while broader commentary stresses not forcing theta or gamma trades around expiry. There are no explicit adds, trims, exits, or position disclosures in the input.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
