$QQQ owns 100 stocks. But during the recent selloff, ORATS data showed it behaving much more like one concentrated trade.
The useful question is not how many names are in the index. It is how independently those names are moving.
We broke down why $QQQ’s diversification benefit weakened, what the IV / component-IV ratio shows, and why that matters for options traders: orats.com/blog/nasdaq-100-co…

ORATS just launched an intraday options backtester.
Why that matters: you can now backtest intraday strategies on any symbol with weeklies, not just a limited set of names.
Episode 134 shows how it works, why that’s a breakthrough, and what it opens up for shorter-dated options research.

What if your AI could do more than answer one question?

Reuters cited ORATS data on Nvidia earnings, with Matt Amberson noting:
“I think investors have become complacent about AI/capex.”

40TB of options data sounds powerful.
Until you try to download it.
