The Egyptian intelligence services repeatedly warned of an incoming attack and the Israelis ignored the warnings. Maybe the information was kicked up by the traders?

Parts of Israeli intelligence also had a lot of advanced warning but it was dismissed by higher ups.
Most likely the trading was based on people who either read the internal Israeli intelligence on this topic or the Egyptian stuff. It is unlikely it was Qatar or Hamas associates, but rather more sophisticated actors who were in the Israeli market already and were used to acting on leaked information.
The main issue is how did someone get a date. The warnings I read were all sort of vague in terms of the exact date, rather specifying the high level plan.
