What is Greeks Heatmap?
Greeks Heatmap The Greeks Heatmap is a colour-coded visualisation of options Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Vanna, Charm, Rho) plotted across strikes and expirations, revealing where risk concentrates.
Switch between calls, puts or net (calls minus puts) exposure, and toggle the x-axis between absolute strikes and moneyness percentage.
Why This Matters for Your Trading
How professional options traders use Greeks Heatmap to find edge.
Find the Gamma Cliff
The heatmap instantly reveals where gamma peaks — the strikes where small price moves trigger outsized delta changes. Essential for knowing where dealer hedging activity will amplify or dampen moves.
Identify Theta Decay Hotspots
See at a glance which strikes and expirations carry the heaviest time decay. Income traders can target the darkest theta cells for maximum premium capture.
Track Overnight Greek Shifts
The change-from-yesterday view shows exactly how Greeks moved overnight. Catch position drift, gamma expansion near expiry, and vanna effects from IV shifts before the market opens.
Spot Vanna and Charm Effects
Higher-order Greeks like Vanna (delta sensitivity to IV) and Charm (delta decay over time) are invisible in a standard chain. The heatmap makes them visible and actionable.
