Why it matters

What this buys you
on the desk.

How traders read Greeks Exposure when they are looking for an edge worth taking.

Predict Support and Resistance from Options

Positive GEX zones act as magnets — dealer hedging dampens moves, creating natural support/resistance. Negative GEX zones amplify moves. Knowing where the flip occurs gives you an edge on intraday direction.

Anticipate Dealer Hedging Flows

When you know aggregate dealer gamma, you can predict their hedging response to price moves. In positive gamma, dealers sell into rallies and buy dips. In negative gamma, they chase.

See Beyond First-Order Greeks

Speed tells you how fast gamma is changing, Vomma shows vega's sensitivity to vol, and Charm reveals how delta decays with time. These second and third-order effects matter for multi-day holds.

Find the Gamma Flip

The exact strike where net gamma changes sign is the market's tipping point. Above it, dealers stabilise. Below it, they accelerate. This level often acts as a day-trading pivot.

Use cases

When you would
reach for it.

Intraday Trading
Use the gamma flip level as a directional pivot — above it, lean bullish (dealers buy dips); below it, lean bearish (dealers sell into drops).
Options Selling
Place short strikes in positive GEX zones where dealer hedging dampens moves, reducing the chance of being run over.
Event Preparation
Check how GEX changes as earnings approach — collapsing positive gamma means the market is losing its cushion.

Questions

What people ask
about this screen.

What is GEX?

Gamma Exposure (GEX) measures the amount of hedging activity market makers must perform at different price levels. Positive GEX dampens price moves; negative GEX amplifies them.

What is the gamma flip level?

The gamma flip is the exact strike price where net dealer gamma changes from positive to negative. Above it, dealers stabilise the market. Below it, they accelerate moves.

What are higher-order Greeks?

Speed (gamma of gamma), Zomma (gamma sensitivity to vol), Vomma (vega sensitivity to vol), Color (gamma decay over time), and Ultima (vomma sensitivity to vol). These capture non-linear risks invisible in standard Greeks.
