Buy the 9 Oct 84k straddle on Derive.

BTC has moved at 43% annualised over the last month (51% over the last week), but options are only pricing 33%. When the market moves more than options price in, owning options pays.

Rule: Implied 33% vs realized 43%, ratio 0.78 (rule fires below 0.85).

Buy the ZEC 1.2k put, 30 Oct 26 on Derive, in small size.

The steadiest traders on Derive rarely agree. Here 5 of them are on the same side of one contract, net +139.8 contracts. Their edge persists only weakly from month to month, so treat this as a shortlist, not something to copy blindly.

Rule: 5 wallets same side (rule fires at 5 or more).

Sell the 27 Sep 84k straddle on Derive.

$3.46M of open interest sits at 84k (mostly puts), 0.2% below spot, expiring in 0.4 days. Dealers hedging that strike sell as price approaches it from below and buy as it approaches from above, which tends to pin price near it into expiry.

Rule: Largest open interest within 5% of spot on the nearest expiry: 41 contracts.

Data timing

This page was calculated at 26 Sept, 21:47 UTC and checks for updates every 5 minutes while visible. Scheduled updates: quotes every minute; trade sync and alerts every 5 minutes; wallet statistics, cohorts and idea results every 15 minutes; wallet performance hourly.

Individual sources can be older than the page, and a check can return the same cached page while a newer version is prepared. Automatic checks pause in hidden tabs and catch up when you return.

Calculations and trade ideas use fixed rules and templates, not AI.

How to read this page

Market prices, open interest, volatility signals and flow on this page come from Derive. The biggest print is the largest contract execution or same-second sweep by underlying notional, before notable-trade ranking; a package leg is not the whole spread. Premium is the amount paid for the option. Deribit supplies comparison prices and the cross-venue scanner. Implied is the at-the-money vol interpolated to 30 days from the Derive chain; realized is the annualised standard deviation of daily index moves over the last 30 days. Below 0.85× we call options cheap, above 1.25× expensive. Smart money is the top quarter of wallets by risk-adjusted 90-day results, among those that made at least $5k and traded in the last two weeks, with market makers removed; "smart long" on an asset chip is their net delta. Ideas are generated by fixed rules from these numbers, not by a person or a model; payoff diagrams are per unit at expiry and ignore fees. Notable trades are ranked by size against the wallet's usual size, distance from spot, smart-money or followed status, price versus Deribit's mark, and package legs. Alerts are aggressor fills over $250k notional in options (with at least $2k premium) or $1M in perps, over $50k by a smart-money wallet, or over $10k by a wallet we follow by hand; market makers are left out of the whale rows. The same rules feed the Telegram alerts.
