FIG 5 — option-market positioning · Sep 9, 2026

In options terms: 30-day implied vol 34% (rank 12/100 for the year), 12 pts below the recent-vol benchmark of 46%. Options flow on 2026-09-09: $1.3B in calls vs $170M in puts at 0.7x normal volume.

How positioning like this is typically read: Options flow is unremarkable today and implied vol is cheap vs the recent-vol benchmark (IV rank 12/100 for the year). Nothing here demands action — the other report sections carry the story.

Earnings land in 77 days — option prices around scheduled events usually rise into the date and reset after; that is normal, not a prediction.

Trading opportunities — the alpha sectionRESEARCH, NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE

Our engine turns the committee's expected range into concrete trade structures — each with a one-sentence thesis, the structure spelled out in plain English, and a picture of what you'd make or lose across possible prices.

No idea stands for NVDA right now. Trade ideas are regenerated after every committee review and pass strict pricing gates — most names on most days honestly have none. Fresh ideas appear here after the next nightly review.
