Most traders watch the move.

I wanted to detect the moment momentum expansion begins.

So I built an indicator that identifies compression → expansion shifts in futures markets.

Curious what other traders think about detecting momentum expansion this way.

🚨 Trader Analysis Report 🚨

Our first Trader Analysis examines @cobraalerts and @vulturetrades.

Across 1,100+ trades, we found repeated identical contracts, near-identical timing, and consistent overlap, forming a data-driven case that these accounts are likely operated by a single entity.

Key Stats

Posting volume:
• @cobraalerts: 514 posts
• @vulturetrades: 609 posts
• Total trades analyzed: 1,123

To calculate unique trades, we grouped posts by option contract and posting date, counting the same contract on different days as separate unique trades.

Using that definition, the dataset contains 436 unique trades:
• 228 trades (52%) were posted by both accounts on the same day
• 91 trades (21%) were posted only by @cobraalerts
• 117 trades (27%) were posted only by @vulturetrades

More than half of all unique trades appear on both accounts.

Month-over-month shift toward shared trades

What stood out most emerged when viewing the data month over month.

Early in 2025, a meaningful portion of trades were unique to each account. As the year progresses, that balance shifts steadily. By mid-to-late 2025, the majority of monthly activity consists of the same option contracts being posted by both accounts, with relatively few trades remaining exclusive to either one.
The change over time is the notable feature here. Shared trades grow to dominate monthly activity, while unique trades decline aggressively.

Timing on shared trades

For trades posted by both accounts on the same day, we measured the time difference between each account’s earliest post.

• 163 shared trades (71.5%) were posted within 30 seconds
• 188 shared trades (82.5%) were posted within 60 seconds

This timing relationship appears consistently across verified trades.

Shared contract examples across accounts

To move from aggregate patterns to individual observations, we examined specific cases where the same option contract was posted by both accounts on the same day.

The table below shows a sample of 25 shared trades, each with side-by-side timestamps. In all examples shown, the time difference is under 30 seconds, often much less.

Repeated posting of a trade within each account

We also examined posting behavior within each account independently.

The tables below show instances where the same option contract was posted multiple times by the same account within a short time window, typically 10–30 seconds.

CobraAlerts
This behavior appears across different tickers, dates, and expirations.

Closing Remarks

Taken together, the structure and timing of these posts suggest a level of coordination between the two accounts. With a combined audience of roughly 156,000 followers, one plausible interpretation is that this reach functions as a reinforcing mechanism when the same option contracts are posted in close succession.

We would welcome the opportunity for @cobraalerts or @vulturetrades to dispute these findings or provide additional context. If new information materially changes the interpretation, we are open to revisiting our conclusions.

We’ll continue publishing trader-level analyses like this. If you see this data differently or have additional context, we encourage you to engage and share your perspective.

Methodology note

These results reflect trades we were able to independently verify by capturing the posted contract and timestamp and cross-referencing them with public options trade data at minute-level resolution. This analysis does not claim to capture every trade ever taken by either account.
