Not investment advice. This page tallies public stock calls posted on X by investors we track. We do not recommend any trade. Do your own research.
Summary
- Window: public X posts from Oct 17 5:54 AM to Oct 19 5:54 AM Arizona time (48 hours before the 9:30 a.m. ET open on October 19, 2026).
- Calls in window: 21 logged; 16 were long or short (neutral leans are not counted).
- Top options moves (9): AAPL long, AAOI long, QQQ short.
- Top day-trader trades (7): COHR long, BBGI long, EVC long.
- Each caller's vote is weighted by their record on the matching MCAFax scoreboard: the Options scoreboard for options moves, the Day Trading scoreboard for day trades. Only callers with a positive or still-building record can put a trade on the list; callers with a negative record (15+ scored calls, shrunk win rate 50% or lower) only add a small consensus bonus when they agree with a positive caller. Callers with no scored calls in that category get a baseline vote of 0.50.
Top 10 Options Moves
Only 9 options calls (posts naming calls, puts or a spread) qualified in this window, so this list has 9 entries, not 10. We do not fill gaps with made-up trades. Any field the caller did not state is marked 'not stated'.

Methodology
- Source. We log public stock calls from tracked investors on X into the MCAFax Market Calls database. Each row has the post link, time, ticker and direction (long, short or neutral).
- Window. Calls posted in the 48 hours before the 9:30 a.m. ET open. Neutral leans are skipped.
- Caller weight. Options moves use the Options scoreboard; day trades use the Day Trading scoreboard. A short-horizon win means the stock moved in the called direction by the close, within 5 trading days, or (options with a stated expiry) by expiry. Raw weight = 2 x hit rate, kept between 0.25 and 1.75, so a coin-flip record is 1.0. With n scored calls, weight = 0.50 x 10/(n+10) + raw x n/(n+10), so a new caller starts at a 0.50 baseline and moves toward their real record as calls are scored. Ranked players (15+ scored calls in that category) get x1.10.
- Caller status. With 15+ scored calls in the category, a caller is positive if their shrunk win rate (wins + 5) / (scored + 10) is above 50% (on Long-Term, average edge vs the S&P 500 must also be above zero), otherwise negative (consensus only). Fewer than 15 scored calls = building. Status is recomputed every trading day, so a caller whose record turns positive gets full weight back automatically.
- Who can put a trade on the list. Positive and building callers. Building callers are allowed because the Day Trading and Options scoreboards are new and almost nobody has 15 scored calls yet. Negative callers never originate a trade.
- Trade score. Sum of the weights of positive and building callers on one ticker and direction, plus 0.15 for each negative caller making the same call when at least one positive caller is on it (all negatives together add at most 0.50), minus half the weight of positive and building callers on the opposite side. Negative callers on the opposite side subtract nothing. Only scores above zero are listed. Ties go to more callers, then the earlier post.
- Options vs day trades. A call is an options move when the post names calls, puts or a spread; we record the type, strike and expiry exactly as stated. Watchlist triggers like calls over $150 count, with the trigger level shown. Everything else on a US-listed ticker goes in the day-trader list, with intraday and swing calls ranked first.
- No invented data. Prices, targets, strikes and expiries appear only if the caller stated them. If fewer than 10 trades qualify, the list is shorter.
