GEX — Dealer Gamma Exposure
Section titled “GEX — Dealer Gamma Exposure”
Formion runs an in-house gamma engine (computed from public option chains, refreshed every minute) covering US indices and ETFs (SPX, SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, VIX…) and large caps (
NVDA,
TSLA,
AAPL, MSFT,
COIN,
MSTR…):
- Gamma exposure by strike, flip level, call/put walls
- Live GEX regimes — pinned (dealers long gamma dampen moves), trending (dealers short gamma amplify moves) and cascade risk (flip level near spot)
- Per-ticker dealer-positioning table + strike profile
Long dealer gamma pins price near big strikes; short dealer gamma lets moves run. The flip level separates the two.
Gamma tells you where dealers are forced to hedge — i.e. where price gets pinned or where a move accelerates.
