CoolaDoola, co-owner and SPX specialist at Rawstocks

Co-owner · SPX & Index Trading · Founder of GammaSonar

CoolaDoola

Runs the SPX and index side of the desk, combining short-duration options trading with dealer-positioning data and a deliberately narrow set of repeatable levels.

Background

CoolaDoola built an independent trading presence through OptionScalps before becoming a Rawstocks co-owner. That community centered on options day trading, live market analysis, technical structure and options data, with Gandalf working alongside him before the two later became part of the Rawstocks desk.

Following the 2025 merger, Coola became co-owner of Rawstocks and continued developing the SPX side of the desk. His approach is intentionally concentrated: rather than searching for a large number of unrelated setups, he repeatedly works a smaller set of index levels and short-duration opportunities where positioning, liquidity and price structure align.

Coola is also the creator and founder of GammaSonar, a standalone options analytics platform built around options-market positioning, gamma exposure, dealer hedging, flow and market-regime data. GammaSonar is Coola's independently developed platform; it is not a Rawstocks-owned product.

At Rawstocks, that background translates into a specialization in SPX, 0DTE and short-dated index options, with an emphasis on disciplined selection rather than constant trading.
