The Morning Map
The previous session's dealer-positioning map for NQ and ES — the three levels most traders check first, captured at that session's open. No account needed, published automatically — or get it by email below.
Last completed session: —
Call Wall
The strike carrying the heaviest call-side positioning above price. Rallies often slow into it — dealers hedge against the move. Historical observation, not a promise.
Put Wall
The put-side mirror below price: heavy dealer positioning where sell-offs have often decelerated. The distance from spot matters as much as the level itself.
Gamma Flip
Where cumulative dealer gamma changes sign. Above it, hedging tends to dampen moves; below it, hedging tends to amplify them. It marks the regime boundary, not a target.
Vol Trigger
A second volatility-regime marker from the same chain. Historically the volatility regime has tended to deteriorate while price holds below it. When it sits close to the Gamma Flip, the band between them is where net gamma flips sign on small moves — a poor area for conviction reads.
Max Pain
The strike where the aggregate value of open options would be lowest at expiry. Read it as pin context into expiration, not as a destination — its pull is strongest on expiry days and largely irrelevant early in a cycle.
Focus 1 · 2 · 3
The three most corroborated prices — not simply the three largest. They rank where several independent constructions land on the same strike, which is why a Focus level that also carries a wall is the heaviest reference on the page.
Confluence
When two or more of the above stack within a few points, the note says so. Independent reads agreeing on one price makes that area heavier than any single level, because each construction responds to a different trigger — a price move, a volatility move, or time.
The distances (+ / − pts)
Every level shows how far it sits from spot at capture. That distance is the part most traders skip: a wall two hundred points away is real structure but not relevant to the next hour, while the same wall fifteen points away changes the risk of every fresh entry.
Positive vs negative gamma
The badge on each card. Positive: hedging flows have historically tended to dampen moves — ranges hold more often, extensions are slower. Negative: hedging tends to amplify — wider ranges, faster extensions. It describes how price travels, never which way.
What this page is not
These are reference levels computed from option-market structure, published as education. Nothing here is a signal, a recommendation or a forecast, and a level being on the page is not a reason to trade it. Levels get overwhelmed by large flow regularly.
