You nailed the direction… and still lost money. You bought options into a strong setup. Earnings dropped & price moved your way. But your options got crushed because implied volatility collapsed.👉Direction wasn’t the trade. Volatility was.
You followed the “smart money”… and got run over. You saw a massive put sweep and assumed bearish positioning. Next morning? Stock rips +4%.👉That wasn’t a bet. It was a hedge.
You waited for the breakout… and had no idea why it mattered. Price stalled for days. Then on new news, it explodes through that level.👉That wasn’t random. It was positioning unwinding.
Most traders see price. Some see volume. Few see positioning. That’s the difference between reacting to moves… and understanding what’s about to happen next.
When dealers sell options, they hedge by trading the underlying — and that hedging exerts real force on price.
Above a certain level — the GEX flip price — dealers buy dips and sell rips. Moves get absorbed. Volatility compresses. The market acts like it wants to stay in range.
Below it, the dynamic inverts. Dealers are now forced to sell into drops and buy into rallies. Moves extend. Volatility expands. The stock stops behaving the way your chart says it should.
That flip price is calculable. It's different for every stock. It changes as open interest shifts.
Trading Volatility shows you GEX Flip and key GEX levels for every stock on your watchlist.
GEX Flip Price The level where dealer gamma turns negative and major gamma exists. Easily import to your charts directly.
Gamma by Expiration Is the structure short-dated and fragile, or long-dated and sticky? Near-term, 1-month, and 2-month buckets tell you how durable today's levels actually are.
IV Rank Is implied volatility cheap or expensive relative to this stock's own history? Changes how you structure the trade — debit vs. credit, size, timing.
Volatility Skew Are puts or calls pricing more tail risk right now? Tracked at constant 30 days. Skew tells you what the options market is afraid of.
API Built for Agent Structured data your tools can use. Built for automation, analysis, and AI-driven workflows. Turn market structure into decisions.
Zero DTE Scanner See how gamma positioning is set for the day and where the day's option volume is hitting.
Our dashboards are designed to help you find ideas and track activity alongside positioning. Our Options Flow & Positioning Dashboard helps you see the difference between hedging and speculation.

Enter the session with context You know where dealer positioning creates natural compression. You know where structure breaks down and moves accelerate. A framework to tell you how the market is likely to react.
Flow tools show activity. This shows structure. A large put sweep looks the same in any flow tool whether the dealer is long or short gamma. Knowing the print doesn't tell you how the market will respond. Net dealer gamma does.
Index-level tools vs. your actual watchlist. Index-level GEX is useful. Stock-level GEX is what you need when you're trading NVDA, TSLA, or your own names.
TradingView doesn't know what gamma is. Integrate one of the best chart tool available with our GEX data. Export key gamma levels into your TradingView chart without manual entry.
Skip the data pipeline. Use the API. Building your own GEX pipeline requires a live option chain feed, computation time, and ongoing maintenance. The v2 API gives you pre-computed GEX curves, skew series, and more.
Real data. No black box. What you see is grounded in real market data — with clear assumptions behind it.
Built for context, not calls. We help you understand what’s happening — so you can make better decisions.
Morning and afternoon structural analysis Analysis automatically runs in the morning and afternoon. Live option chain pulls are available during trading hours — user-triggered.
Look up any stock. See the gamma histogram, the flip price, IV rank, and current skew.
If the structural view changes how you think about that trade, the rest follows.
