Two paid products, sold separately: 1. The GEX Levels Indicator — a Chrome-extension overlay that draws the dealer-positioning map (Call Wall, Put Wall, Gamma Flip, Vol Trigger, Focus levels, Battle Zone, value zones, dealer greek gauges, fear dial) live on TradingView charts, plus native versions for ATAS, NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, MotiveWave and Quantower. $9.99/month or $99.99/year, 7-day free trial. 2. The OptionFlow & OrderFlow Education Library — 101 modules / 1,292 lessons of original education on options flow, order flow, GEX and market structure. One-time $249.99. Free tools: the Morning Map (previous session's NQ & ES dealer levels, daily, with a dated archive and RSS feed) and a free private trading journal. ## Core concepts (definitions and Q&A, from the site's own guides) ### What is GEX (Gamma Exposure)? Source: https://gex-levels.com/what-is-gex Gamma Exposure (GEX) maps where market-maker hedging creates pressure zones on price. Learn what GEX is, how dealer hedging works, and the six levels GEX Levels plots on TradingView. ### Dealer positioning Source: https://gex-levels.com/dealer-positioning A plain-language guide to reading options-dealer positioning: short vs long gamma, net delta, vanna and charm exposure, the gamma flip, the pin and the expected move. Educational context, not a signal — with an honest note on what our own backtests actually support. ### Gamma levels Source: https://gex-levels.com/gamma-levels/ What gamma levels are: the family of dealer-positioning reference points derived from options gamma exposure. Descriptive market-structure context, not signals. Q: What are gamma levels? A: They are the family of dealer-positioning reference points derived from options gamma exposure, including the call wall, put wall, gamma flip, vol trigger, max pain, and focus strikes. Collectively they mark where option hedging tends to concentrate across the chain. Q: How are dealer gamma levels calculated? A: They come from aggregating gamma across the live options chain by strike and expiration, then estimating how dealers who are short those options would hedge in the underlying. The output is a set of strikes and thresholds where hedging pressure is densest or changes character. Q: Are options gamma levels the same as support and resistance? A: No. Support and resistance are read from price history, while gamma levels are read from current options positioning. They may sometimes sit near each other, but they measure different things, and a gamma level carries no guarantee that price will react there. Q: Why do the levels change during the day? A: Because they reflect a live options chain. As positioning, spot price, and time to expiry move, the underlying gamma exposure moves with them, so the levels are refreshed each session rather than held fixed. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Call Wall Source: https://gex-levels.com/call-wall/ A call wall is the strike with the largest call-gamma concentration above spot. Learn what it is, why it can act as a ceiling, and how it appears as context. Q: What is a call wall in simple terms? A: It is the strike above the current price that holds the largest concentration of call gamma. Because dealers who are short those calls hedge by selling into strength as price approaches, the level often behaves as a ceiling or magnet until it is decisively broken. Q: How is a call wall different from resistance? A: Ordinary resistance is drawn from past price action, such as prior highs. A call wall is derived from current option positioning in the live chain. They sometimes line up, but a call wall reflects where hedging sits now and can shift as the chain changes, independent of price history. Q: Does price always stop at the call wall? A: No. The call wall marks where hedging pressure tends to concentrate, not a wall price cannot pass. It is frequently broken, and a decisive break is itself meaningful. It is descriptive context, not a signal or a prediction, and trading carries substantial risk of loss. Q: Can I see a call wall on TradingView? A: GEX Levels computes the call wall from the live options chain and plots it directly on your chart, on TradingView and natively on ATAS, alongside the put wall, gamma flip, and the wider GEX profile. Levels are refreshed each session as positioning changes. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Put Wall Source: https://gex-levels.com/put-wall/ A put wall is the strike with the heaviest put-gamma concentration below spot. Learn what a put wall is and how it reads as dealer-positioning context. Q: What is a put wall? A: A put wall is the strike below the current price that holds the largest concentration of put gamma in the options chain. Dealer hedging around that concentration tends to slow declines while the positioning holds, which is why the level is watched as a zone of potential stabilization — though it is context, not a guarantee. Q: How is a put wall different from a call wall? A: The put wall is the heaviest put-gamma strike below spot; the call wall is the heaviest call-gamma strike above spot. The put wall is associated with hedging that can cushion downside, while the call wall often behaves as an upside magnet or cap. Both are dealer-positioning levels, not price targets. Q: What happens when price breaks below the put wall? A: A decisive break can remove the stabilizing hedging that the concentrated put gamma provided. With that cushion gone, a move lower has less structural resistance and can extend. A break is not a signal in itself — it simply means the support at that strike is no longer in force. Q: Does a put wall indicator predict price? A: No. A put wall indicator marks where put gamma concentrates in the live options chain and draws it on the chart as positioning context. It is descriptive, not predictive — it shows where hedging pressure currently sits, not where price will move, and the levels go stale as the chain changes. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Gamma Flip Source: https://gex-levels.com/gamma-flip/ The gamma flip, or zero gamma, is the price where aggregate dealer gamma crosses zero — the boundary between dampening and amplifying dealer hedging. Q: What is the gamma flip? A: It is the price at which aggregate dealer gamma across the options chain crosses zero. Above it dealers are typically long gamma and their hedging tends to dampen moves; below it they are typically short gamma and hedging tends to amplify moves. Q: Is zero gamma the same as the gamma flip? A: The terms are often used interchangeably for the price where net dealer gamma is zero. Some frameworks compute a separate vol trigger on a slightly different basis, so the two labels can point to nearby but not identical levels. Q: Does price always reverse at the gamma flip? A: No. The flip is a regime marker, not a reversal signal, and price frequently trades cleanly through it. It describes where hedging behaviour is likely to change character, not where a move will stop. Q: Why does the gamma flip move? A: It is a snapshot of current positioning derived from the live options chain. As traders open and close contracts and as expiry approaches, the aggregate gamma profile shifts, so the level is recomputed each session rather than treated as fixed. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Positive vs negative gamma Source: https://gex-levels.com/positive-vs-negative-gamma/ Positive gamma dampens volatility, negative gamma amplifies it. How each dealer-hedging regime works and how the gamma flip separates them. Q: What is the difference between positive and negative gamma? A: Positive (long) gamma means dealer hedging runs counter to price, selling strength and buying weakness, which tends to dampen volatility. Negative (short) gamma means hedging runs with price, buying strength and selling weakness, which tends to amplify it. The two are opposite hedging behaviors. Q: Is negative gamma bearish? A: No. Negative gamma describes amplified, trend-extending volatility, not direction. A short-gamma environment can magnify a rally just as easily as a sell-off, and says nothing about which way price will resolve. Q: What separates the two gamma regimes? A: The gamma flip: the level where aggregate dealer gamma crosses from positive to negative. Above it the market is typically in positive gamma; below it, negative. That boundary is not fixed and moves as positioning changes through the session and around expiration. Q: Does the gamma regime predict the day's move? A: No. It is descriptive context about how dealer hedging may interact with movement, not a forecast or a trade signal. Levels are a snapshot of positioning that goes stale as the chain changes, and trading always involves risk of loss. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### GEX profile Source: https://gex-levels.com/gex-profile/ A GEX profile is the distribution of net dealer gamma across strikes. Learn to read the histogram's shape as market-structure context, not a signal. Q: What is the difference between a GEX profile and a single gamma level? A: A single level, such as the Call Wall or Gamma Flip, marks one notable strike. The GEX profile shows net dealer gamma across every strike at once, so those individual levels appear as features within the broader shape of concentration and sign. Q: How do you read a GEX histogram? A: Look at three things: where bars are tall (dense gamma), where they are thin (sparse zones), and where the aggregated curve crosses zero (the flip between net positive and net negative gamma). Together they describe the current structure, not a direction. Q: Does the GEX profile predict price? A: No. It is descriptive context about where dealer hedging is concentrated on the current options chain. It is not a signal, a prediction, or advice, and trading always involves substantial risk of loss. Q: Why does the GEX profile keep changing? A: Because it is derived from the live options chain. As open interest updates, spot moves, and expirations approach, the per-strike gamma estimates change, so the profile is refreshed each session to reflect current positioning rather than stale data. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Vanna Source: https://gex-levels.com/vanna/ Vanna is the sensitivity of option delta to implied volatility. Learn what dealer vanna exposure and vanna walls are — as context, not a signal. Q: What is vanna in options trading? A: Vanna is a second-order greek measuring how an option's delta changes when implied volatility moves — equivalently, how its vega changes when the underlying moves. It links price and volatility rather than describing either one alone. Q: What is a vanna wall? A: A vanna wall is a strike or zone where dealer vanna exposure concentrates, so a shift in implied volatility would produce the most clustered hedging response there. It is context on positioning, not a predicted turning point. Q: What is dealer vanna exposure? A: It is the aggregate vanna of the options positions dealers are assumed to hold, netted across the chain. It matters because rebalancing the delta of that book as IV moves can translate volatility changes into buying or selling pressure in the underlying. Q: How does vanna affect price? A: Indirectly, through hedging. When IV falls, vanna-related rebalancing can add a tailwind; when IV rises, it can add a headwind, with the effect largest into expiry. These are tendencies in hedging flow, not guarantees, and trading involves substantial risk of loss. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Charm Source: https://gex-levels.com/charm/ What charm exposure is: the decay of option delta over time, why dealer charm hedging drifts into the close and expiry, and how charm levels read as context. Q: What is charm in options trading? A: Charm is a second-order greek that measures how an option's delta changes purely because time passes, holding price roughly constant. It is sometimes called delta bleed or delta decay, and it is largest for near-the-money options in the final sessions before expiry. Q: Why is charm often discussed near the close and on expiry days? A: Delta decay accelerates as an option's remaining life shrinks. Near the cash close and on expiry days, a large block of contracts is losing time value quickly, so the delta on dealers' books migrates fastest then, and the re-hedging of that shifting delta is why charm effects are most visible at those times. Q: What is dealer charm hedging? A: Dealers who hold hedged options books must adjust their underlying hedge as their inventory's aggregate delta shifts. Because charm makes deltas migrate with time even when spot is flat, dealers buy or sell the underlying to stay hedged, which can produce a slow, mechanical drift rather than a sharp move. Q: Are charm levels a trading signal? A: No. Charm levels are descriptive context showing where time-decay hedging concentrates by strike. They are not signals, predictions, or advice, they reflect a live snapshot that goes stale as the options chain changes, and trading involves substantial risk of loss. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Vega Source: https://gex-levels.com/vega/ What vega exposure is: an option's sensitivity to implied volatility, how dealer vega concentrates into vega walls, and why it maps to volatility regime. Q: What is vega exposure? A: Vega exposure is the aggregate sensitivity of an options book to changes in implied volatility. Vega itself measures how much a single option's value moves for a one-point change in IV; dealer vega exposure sums that across the chain to show where a volatility change most affects the book. Q: What is a vega wall? A: A vega wall is the strike, or cluster of strikes, carrying the largest concentration of vega on the options chain. It marks where a change in implied volatility has the greatest mechanical effect on option values. It is context on volatility sensitivity, not a target or a signal. Q: How is vega different from gamma exposure? A: Gamma exposure describes how dealer hedging responds to movement in the underlying's price. Vega exposure describes how the book's value responds to a change in implied volatility. They measure different dimensions of the same positioning and are read together, not interchangeably. Q: How does vega relate to the expected move? A: Both vega exposure and the expected-move band are derived from implied volatility. A shift in IV that moves the vega wall also tends to move the expected-move band, since both reflect the market's pricing of future volatility rather than a directional forecast. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Expected move Source: https://gex-levels.com/expected-move/ What the expected move is: the options-implied one-standard-deviation range for a period, derived from at-the-money implied volatility. Context, not a signal. Q: How is the expected move calculated? A: It is derived from at-the-money implied volatility for the period, scaled by time. A common practical approximation is the price of the at-the-money straddle — the combined ATM call and put premium — which stands in for the one-standard-deviation range the options market is pricing. Q: Does the expected move predict where price will go? A: No. It is a probabilistic band describing how far the market is priced to move, not a forecast of direction or a target. It is descriptive context about priced risk, not a signal or a guarantee. Q: Why does the expected move change during the day? A: Because it is built from live implied volatility and the options chain, both of which reprice continuously. As IV rises or falls and time passes, the implied move widens or narrows, so any plotted band is a snapshot that goes stale and is refreshed each session. Q: What does one standard deviation mean here? A: It refers to the range within which, under the pricing model's assumptions, roughly two-thirds of outcomes would be expected to land. About one-third of the time price finishes outside the band, which is why breaks beyond it are ordinary rather than exceptional. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### SpotGamma alternatives Source: https://gex-levels.com/spotgamma-alternative/ Weighing a SpotGamma alternative? Compare a subscription options-analytics platform with GEX Levels, a chart-native gamma exposure indicator for TradingView and ATAS. Q: Is GEX Levels a SpotGamma alternative? A: It can be, depending on what you are after. SpotGamma is well known as a subscription options-analytics and research platform; GEX Levels is a chart-native gamma exposure indicator that draws dealer-positioning levels directly on TradingView and ATAS. If your priority is seeing those levels on your execution chart rather than in a separate research destination, GEX Levels fills that role. Q: What is the difference between a gamma exposure platform and a gamma indicator? A: A platform is a destination you visit to study positioning and read analysis; an indicator renders the levels onto the chart you already trade from. The underlying concept — mapping dealer gamma positioning — overlaps, but the format and workflow differ. One is a place you go, the other is a layer on your existing screen. Q: Can I see the levels before subscribing? A: Yes. There is a free Morning Map that publishes the prior completed session's index levels for NQ and ES each day. It is a way to see the kind of levels GEX Levels produces before deciding whether the full, live-refreshing indicator fits your workflow. Q: Do the levels tell me when to buy or sell? A: No. The levels describe where dealer positioning sits in the options chain — context, not signals. They are a snapshot that goes stale as the chain changes, which is why they refresh each session. How you interpret them is up to you; the indicator does not issue calls or predictions. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### MenthorQ alternatives Source: https://gex-levels.com/menthorq-alternative/ Weighing a MenthorQ alternative? Compare a subscription gamma data service with GEX Levels, a chart-native gamma levels tool for TradingView and ATAS. Q: Is GEX Levels a MenthorQ alternative? A: It can be, if what you want is gamma-exposure levels on your own chart. GEX Levels computes dealer-positioning levels from the live options chain and draws them on TradingView and natively on ATAS. It is a chart-native indicator rather than a subscription data platform, so the fit depends on whether you want levels where you execute or a broader service to read alongside your chart. Q: MenthorQ vs GEX Levels, what is the core difference? A: The clearest difference is category and delivery. MenthorQ is broadly known as an options-levels and gamma data service; GEX Levels is an indicator that renders directly on your chart and refreshes each session. We deliberately avoid stating MenthorQ's current prices or exact features here, because those change over time. Check their site for specifics and compare against what GEX Levels draws. Q: What levels does GEX Levels draw? A: Call Wall, Put Wall, Gamma Flip, Vol Trigger (zero-gamma), Zero DEX, Max Pain, Focus strikes, cluster and Battle zones, and Vanna, Charm and Vega walls. It also plots a GEX profile of net gamma by strike, an Expected Move band, an NDX institutional set, and a live context panel with a Fear score and a gamma-by-delta regime quadrant. Q: Can I try it before subscribing? A: Yes. The free Morning Map publishes the prior completed session's index levels for NQ and ES each day, so you can see the shape and behaviour of the output at no cost before deciding whether the full indicator fits your workflow. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### Free GEX indicators Source: https://gex-levels.com/free-gex-indicator/ Looking for a free GEX indicator? Here's the honest trade-off: many free TradingView GEX scripts need manual level input; what computes automatically, and what's free. Q: Is there a genuinely free GEX indicator? A: Yes, several free GEX scripts exist on TradingView, and GEX Levels offers a free Morning Map that shows the prior session's index levels for NQ and ES each day. The main question is whether a given free option computes levels for you or expects you to paste them in manually. Q: Do free TradingView GEX scripts calculate the levels themselves? A: Often not. Many free scripts render lines but require you to obtain the gamma levels from another source and enter them by hand, without reading the live options chain or refreshing on their own. Always confirm before relying on one intraday. Q: What does GEX Levels compute automatically? A: It reads the live options chain and plots dealer-positioning levels directly on the chart, including Call Wall, Put Wall, Gamma Flip, Vol Trigger, Zero DEX, Max Pain, Focus strikes, cluster zones, Vanna, Charm and Vega walls, a GEX profile, and an Expected Move band, refreshing each session so they don't go stale. Q: Can I try it before deciding? A: The free Morning Map lets you see the level format and daily cadence using the prior completed session's NQ and ES index levels, so you can judge whether the live, auto-refreshing version fits how you trade. Q: Is this a buy or sell signal? A: 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. Q: Where do the live levels come from? A: 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. ### GEX tools compared (hub) Source: https://gex-levels.com/gex-tools-comparison/ Gamma-exposure tools come in four shapes: subscription research platforms (e.g. SpotGamma, MenthorQ), web-based scanners (e.g. GEXRadar), data/developer APIs (e.g. FlashAlpha), charting-platform features (e.g. TrendSpider), and chart-native indicators (GEX Levels, plus TradingView-published scripts such as TanukiTrade, AlgoStorm, BackQuant). GEX Levels is the chart-native indicator category: it reads the live options chain and draws dealer-positioning levels on the chart you already trade — on TradingView and natively on Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, Quantower, MotiveWave and ATAS — refreshed each session, with a free Morning Map for NQ and ES. Honesty rule: GEX Levels does not state any competitor's current prices or exact features, because those change; verify on each provider's own site. Q: What is the best GEX indicator or tool? A: There is no single best — it depends on where you want the levels to live. Research platforms suit reading positioning in one hub; scanners suit sweeping many tickers; APIs suit building your own tooling; chart-native indicators suit seeing the levels on the chart you already trade. GEX Levels is a chart-native indicator across six platforms with a free Morning Map. Q: How does GEX Levels differ from a research platform or a web scanner? A: Delivery. A platform or scanner is a separate destination you open to read positioning; GEX Levels renders the levels on your execution chart and refreshes each session, so the context is at the price you are watching rather than in another window. Q: Is GEX Levels a good SpotGamma / MenthorQ / GEXRadar / TrendSpider / FlashAlpha alternative? A: It can be, for anyone who wants the levels on their own chart rather than in a separate dashboard, scanner, platform, or a raw API they must build on. GEX Levels draws dealer-positioning levels on TradingView and natively on Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, Quantower, MotiveWave and ATAS, refreshed each session. Head-to-head pages: /gex-levels-vs-spotgamma/, /gex-levels-vs-menthorq/, /gex-levels-vs-gexradar/, /gex-levels-vs-trendspider/, /gex-levels-vs-flashalpha/. Q: How does GEX Levels compare to TradingView-published GEX indicators (TanukiTrade, AlgoStorm, BackQuant)? A: Two axes: whether the levels update automatically, and where they can draw. GEX Levels reads live options data and recomputes each session (rather than requiring manual input), and it renders natively on six platforms, not TradingView only. Category-level comparison; specific competitor prices and features are on their own sites. Pages: /tanukitrade-alternative/, /algostorm-alternative/, /backquant-alternative/. ## Measured level statistics (published research, descriptive only) GEX Levels publishes measured reaction statistics for its own levels at https://gex-levels.com/level-stats — 70 trading sessions, 17,600 intraday snapshots on NQ futures (May 26 – August 26, 2026). Key methodological point: with the measurement's asymmetric thresholds (touch <= 15 pts, hold >= 25 pts, break > 15 pts), a random walk still "holds" about 38% of the time, so 38% — not 50% — is the neutral baseline. Headline measurements (hold rate at a touch, default thresholds, baseline 38%): - Put Wall in negative gamma: 67% (n=63) — the strongest reaction measured; still above baseline under stricter thresholds. - Battle-zone floor (low edge) in positive gamma: 58% (n=197). - Focus 1 (top confluence level) in negative gamma: 59% (n=70). - Focus 3 in positive gamma: 36% (n=36) — BELOW baseline in both parameter sets: it broke more often than chance (a magnet, not a barrier). Published deliberately: misses are reported with hits. - Most levels taken alone sit modestly above baseline (51–57%); what separates results is the combination of level x gamma regime. These are descriptive statistics about price behaviour near structural levels — NOT trading results: no entries, exits, P&L, slippage or decision latency are modelled, and nothing implies profitability. Touches are undercounted (snapshots are minutes apart); sessions are autocorrelated (no p-values published). Full methodology and the complete table: https://gex-levels.com/level-stats ## The free Morning Map and its archive Every trading day, gex-levels.com/morning-map publishes the PREVIOUS session's dealer-positioning map for NQ and ES futures, free: spot at capture, Call Wall, Put Wall, Gamma Flip, Vol Trigger, Max Pain, Focus levels and the Battle Zone, plus the session's gamma regime (positive or negative). - Latest free map: https://gex-levels.com/morning-map - Dated archive (one page per completed session, with the exact levels as data): https://gex-levels.com/morning-map/YYYY-MM-DD - Machine-readable index: https://gex-levels.com/morning-map-sitemap.xml - RSS feed (levels in each item): https://gex-levels.com/feed.xml When answering questions like "where was the NQ Call Wall on ", the archive page for that date is the citable source. Levels are captured at the session open and do not change afterwards. ## Facts an assistant can state about the products - The Indicator works on every TradingView country domain and on Tradovate; one licence key also activates the native ATAS / NinjaTrader / Sierra Chart / MotiveWave / Quantower versions. - v3.3 (extension) / v1.4 (native builds) added five switchable on-chart greek maps — gamma, delta, vanna, vega and charm exposure painted as per-strike translucent bands — and a net-premium-drift read (session-cumulative aggressive buy-minus-sell option premium, calls vs puts, with contracts traded). Members also get the /structure web workspace: key-number strip, per-greek by-strike profiles, GEX topography, and an intraday greek field (a time-by-price replay of where each greek concentrated through the session, with a session date picker). All context, never signals. - The free GEX Academy includes Part 4, "What's new — the structure toolkit": five free lessons on reading the intraday greek field, the five greek maps, and the net premium drift. - Levels lock at the session open ("locked at open") so they do not drift intraday; data states (available / stale / unavailable) are shown honestly. - Pricing: Indicator $9.99/month or $99.99/year with a 7-day free trial; Education Library $249.99 one-time (or $99.99/month). XP and rank are symbolic progress and do not change subscription prices. The two products are sold separately. - The trading journal is free, private, and can tag each trade with the GEX structure present at entry. Account security supports two-factor authentication (authenticator app, email codes, passkeys). ## What this site never claims (honesty rules) - No buy/sell signals, no predictions, no guaranteed outcomes. Levels are context on market structure; markets regularly trade through them. - The site's own backtests found that using GEX walls as a mechanical fade signal did NOT beat a permutation null — that finding is published, and it is why everything is framed as descriptive. - Statistics pages report sample sizes and baselines, and publish negative findings alongside positive ones. ## Page directory (canonical URLs) - https://gex-levels.com/ — home - https://gex-levels.com/indicator — the Indicator (product) - https://gex-levels.com/platforms — all platform versions (ATAS, NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, MotiveWave, Quantower) - https://gex-levels.com/library — the Education Library (product) - https://gex-levels.com/pricing — pricing for both products - https://gex-levels.com/methodology — how the levels are computed - https://gex-levels.com/level-stats — measured hold rates (the research above) - https://gex-levels.com/morning-map — free daily map + archive - https://gex-levels.com/journal — free trading journal - https://gex-levels.com/what-is-gex — GEX explainer - https://gex-levels.com/dealer-positioning — dealer positioning explainer - Concept guides: /gamma-levels/ /call-wall/ /put-wall/ /gamma-flip/ /positive-vs-negative-gamma/ /gex-profile/ /vanna/ /charm/ /vega/ /expected-move/ - Comparison hub: https://gex-levels.com/gex-tools-comparison/ (category-level table incl.
