GEX Levels vs Gamma Radar
GEX Levels vs Gamma Radar is the closest comparison on this site: both are Chrome extensions that draw dealer-positioning levels directly on TradingView. Gamma Radar is FreeFlow's overlay, branded for TradingView. GEX Levels draws its computed map on TradingView and on five native platforms, lets you shape what is computed (the Your map profile), publishes how the levels have behaved, and links each trade in the journal to the map it was taken on. Category-level, no invented facts, no prices quoted.
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.
What is the same, and what is not
The same: a panel on the right of the TradingView chart, lines for the walls and the flip, a regime read, an intensity or fear-style gauge, and a strikes view. If you only trade on TradingView and want dealer gamma drawn there, both products answer the brief.
What differs is the footprint. Gamma Radar is TradingView-only. GEX Levels ships the same map on NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, ATAS, MotiveWave and Quantower, computed once server-side so every platform draws the identical levels. It also lets you decide what the map keeps and how the Focus levels are ranked, measures its own hold rates in public, and records the map at each journaled trade.
Which one fits you
If TradingView is your only chart and you want that platform's positioning read on it, Gamma Radar is the direct product. If you trade from a native platform, or from more than one, or you want the method, the statistics and the journal with the levels, GEX Levels is built for that.
Either way, treat the overlay as context. A gamma level is a snapshot of the options chain; it goes stale, it gets crossed, and no overlay turns it into a trade for you. GEX Levels' own research page shows that plainly.

Read this comparison honestly
We compare what each overlay covers and where it runs, not the quality of anyone's data.
We do not state Gamma Radar's current price or exact feature list. Its publisher's site is the source of truth.
On TradingView both draw levels from a snapshot of the chain. Neither is a signal, and both go stale as positioning changes.
Questions traders ask.
Is Gamma Radar the same thing as FreeFlow?
Gamma Radar is FreeFlow's TradingView Chrome extension — the overlay that draws that platform's positioning read on the chart. FreeFlow is the data platform behind it.
What does GEX Levels add on TradingView specifically?
A profile you control (what the map keeps, how Focus levels are ranked), the locked-at-open session map, alerts, the strikes and forecast views, and a Log button that records the map into your journal. The same profile then applies on the native platforms.
Can I run both?
Yes, they are independent Chrome extensions. Many traders compare overlays side by side before settling; the free Morning Map lets you see GEX Levels' levels before subscribing.
Do either of them give buy or sell signals?
No. Both describe where dealer positioning sits. What price does at a level is measured, not promised — see the level statistics page.
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.
