🚨 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.

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.
