GEX Levels vs FreeFlow
GEX Levels vs FreeFlow is a comparison across categories more than a feature race. FreeFlow is known as an options-positioning data platform: dealer positioning computed from the options chain, served through dashboards and an API, with a TradingView Chrome extension branded Gamma Radar. GEX Levels is a chart-native indicator that draws dealer-positioning levels on TradingView and on five native platforms, and wraps them in the method, the published hold-rate statistics and a trading journal. We keep this page to what each product is for, and we do not state anyone's prices or exact feature list.
This page explains the concept. It shows no live numbers — the live map lives in the indicator, on TradingView and ATAS. Educational context only, not a signal.
Where the two sit
An options-data platform is infrastructure: it computes positioning from the chain and hands it to you as numbers, dashboards or an API you build on. If you write your own tools, run a desk, or want raw feeds for several strategies, that is the right category, and FreeFlow is one of the recognised names in it.
GEX Levels is the layer traders actually look at while they trade. It reads the options chain, computes walls, flip, zero gamma, Focus levels, battle zone, value zones and the dealer-flow layer, and draws them on the chart you execute from — TradingView, NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, ATAS, MotiveWave, Quantower. Around the levels sit the Academy, the free Morning Map, the published level statistics and the journal that records the map at each trade.
Which one fits you
Choose a data platform if your edge is your own tooling: you want the feed, the freedom to compute your own levels, and possibly several consumers of the same data. Choose the indicator if you want the levels ready on the chart, on more than one platform, with the method that explains them and the numbers that test them.
Whatever you pick, dealer-positioning levels are a snapshot of the options chain that goes stale as the chain moves — context to read, never a signal to follow. GEX Levels publishes how its own levels behaved, including what did not hold up.

| GEX Levels | FreeFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Chart-native gamma indicator + education + journal | Options-positioning data platform (dashboards, API) |
| Where the levels live | On the chart you trade, six platforms | Its dashboards, its API, and its TradingView extension (Gamma Radar) |
| What you get | Computed levels, a Focus recipe you can shape, hold-rate statistics, Academy, journal | Positioning data and models to read or build on |
| Native platforms | TradingView, NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, ATAS, MotiveWave, Quantower | TradingView via its extension; otherwise the API |
| Published behaviour of the levels | Hold rates by level and regime, trade studies, paper track record | See their site |

Read this comparison honestly
A data platform and a chart indicator each do something the other does not. This page compares scope and workflow, not the quality of anyone's data.
We do not state FreeFlow's current prices, plan limits or exact feature list. Those change; their site is the source of truth.
From either product, gamma levels describe positioning at a moment in time. They refresh, they go stale, and nothing here tells you when to buy or sell.
Questions traders ask.
Should I pick the platform or the indicator?
Pick the platform if you build your own tools or need a feed for several strategies. Pick the indicator if you want the levels drawn on your execution chart, on more than one platform, with the method and the measured hold rates around them.
Can I see GEX Levels before paying?
Yes. The free Morning Map publishes the prior completed session's NQ and ES levels every day, and the level statistics page shows how the levels behaved over the measured sessions.
Do either of them give buy or sell signals?
No. Both describe dealer positioning; neither turns it into a trade for you. GEX Levels' own research page shows that even its strongest hold rates do not convert into a mechanical edge — which is exactly why the levels are presented as context.
Can I run both?
Yes. They are independent products with independent accounts. Many traders read a research platform pre-market and keep an on-chart indicator during the session.
Is this a buy or sell signal?
No. Everything on this page describes option-market structure — where dealer hedging concentrates — which is context on how a session is likely to behave, not a recommendation to buy or sell and not a prediction of direction. Educational and informational only; trading involves substantial risk of loss.
Where do the live levels come from?
The GEX Levels indicator computes them from the live options chain and draws them on your TradingView or ATAS chart, refreshed each session. This page explains the concept; the live map lives in the indicator, and the free Morning Map shows the prior session's index levels each day.
See it on your chart.
The concept is free to read. The live levels — call wall, put wall, gamma flip, the second-order greeks, the regime and more, refreshed every session — are built into the GEX Levels indicator for TradingView and ATAS. The free Morning Map shows the prior session's index levels each day.
