> I am one of the best options traders in the world.

The best traders in the world are worth billions? So the above translates to "I am a billionaire". Seems unlikely!

Well, they could have fantastic results with very small volumes in niche situations.

Whether that merits the title, on the other hand...

I don't think that would merit the title - when you're talking about small niche situations it's harder to make the case that fantastic results are a result of skill versus luck + selection bias, and even if it's skill then you're not one of the best options traders, you are one of the best traders in that niche.
