Best GEX Indicators & Gamma Exposure Tools in 2026
Nine tools that draw dealer gamma levels, compared on the axes that actually differ: what the data costs, where the levels render, how often they refresh, and what you have to do yourself. We sell one of these tools, so read this as a vendor's map of the market — with the receipts on every claim, including the tools that are cheaper than ours and the ones that are free.
How to read this comparison
Every gamma exposure product is a bundle of three things: an options data feed, a calculation (net gamma per strike, walls, flip), and a rendering surface (your chart, their chart, or a dashboard). Most pricing differences come from the data feed, and most workflow differences come from the rendering surface. Keep those two axes in mind and the market sorts itself quickly.
Prices below were checked on each vendor's public pricing page — the research platforms on July 2, 2026, TrendSpider on August 10, 2026, GEXRadar on August 10, 2026. If a price has changed since, the vendor's page wins.
The quick picks
- Best free: AlgoStorm GEX-L (open-source Pine, manual data paste) or TanukiTrade Lite.
- Cheapest paid: TrendSpider's Dealer GEX Levels add-on, $5.99/mo — if you already live in TrendSpider.

- Full research platform: SpotGamma or MenthorQ, from $67–129/mo — dashboards, models and analyst commentary, not just levels.

The free tier: AlgoStorm and TanukiTrade
If your budget is zero, start here. AlgoStorm's GEX-L is open source and draws the classic map — call wall, put wall, gamma flip — once you paste a formatted options-data string into the script each session. That manual step exists because Pine Script cannot reach the internet: every Pine-based GEX tool lives with it, and AlgoStorm is transparent about it. TanukiTrade's Lite tier removes some of that friction inside its own tooling. Both are real tools, not teasers. What you are paying other vendors for is the data feed and the automation of that daily step. We wrote a full comparison of the manual-paste trade-off in AlgoStorm vs GEX Levels.
The budget add-on: TrendSpider Dealer GEX Levels
At $5.99/month, TrendSpider's add-on is cheaper than anything else with data included — including us. The two constraints are structural: it requires a TrendSpider platform subscription underneath, and the levels live inside TrendSpider's charts. If TrendSpider is already your daily driver, this is the obvious pick. If your chart lives on TradingView, it isn't.
On-TradingView overlays: GEX Levels and GEXRadar
Two products draw dealer-positioning levels directly on your existing TradingView chart with data included, via a Chrome extension rather than a Pine script — which is what lets them ship the options feed built in.
GEXRadar ($49.99/mo) covers roughly 3,500 tickers with a fast (~2-second) refresh and draws vanna, charm and DEX alongside gamma. If you trade many individual names, that breadth is the argument.
GEX Levels ($6.99/mo — ours) goes the other way: depth on the index complex (NQ/ES futures via the QQQ/SPY option books) rather than breadth. The distinguishing choices: a locked-at-open session snapshot so your levels don't chase price intraday, second-order greek walls (vanna/charm/vega), an NDX institutional set beside the QQQ map, and a new advanced opt-in layer — gamma voids, absolute-gamma peaks, a dealer sign measured from classified aggressive flow rather than assumed by convention, cross-asset confluence between the QQQ and SPY books, expiry term structure and a multi-day GEX rank. Every family is off by default and reports "unavailable" rather than guessing. Full head-to-head in GEXRadar vs GEX Levels.
The research platforms: SpotGamma and MenthorQ
These are a different product category: dashboards, proprietary models, commentary and alerts — with chart levels as one output among many. SpotGamma (from $67/mo annual) is the reference name in dealer-positioning research; MenthorQ (from $129/mo) leans multi-asset with broker and platform integrations. If you want someone to interpret the gamma landscape for you every morning, this is that tier — at ten to twenty times the price of an overlay. If you only want the levels on your chart, you are paying for research you may not read.
What none of these tools do
None of the credible tools in this list — free or $349/month — turn gamma exposure into buy/sell signals, because the data does not contain a prediction. Dealer positioning describes where hedging flows concentrate: where moves tend to slow, where they tend to accelerate. That is context for a decision you make. Any product promising more than that from the same inputs is overpromising. (That posture is also why our own product is education-only by design.)
Bottom line
- Zero budget → AlgoStorm GEX-L or TanukiTrade Lite, accept the manual data step.
- Already on TrendSpider → the $5.99 add-on, done.
- TradingView chart, many tickers → GEXRadar at $49.99.
- TradingView or ATAS, index futures depth → GEX Levels at $6.99 (3-day free trial, see exactly what it draws).
- Want research and interpretation, not just levels → SpotGamma or MenthorQ.
