Frequently asked questions

What is gamma exposure (GEX)?

Gamma exposure measures the total hedging obligation options dealers carry at each strike price. When dealers sell options, they hedge by buying or selling shares of the underlying as the price moves — the size of that mechanical hedging flow at a given strike is its gamma exposure.

What is a gamma wall?

A gamma wall is a strike price with unusually high open interest that creates a strong dealer-hedging force. A call wall (the highest call-side GEX strike) tends to act as resistance; a put wall (the highest put-side GEX strike) tends to act as support.

What is dealer gamma?

Dealer gamma is the direction options market makers are net positioned in at a given strike. Long (positive) dealer gamma means they hedge by trading against the move, dampening price action. Short (negative) dealer gamma means they hedge by trading with the move, amplifying it.

What is the gamma flip (zero gamma) level?

The gamma flip, or zero gamma level, is the price where net dealer gamma exposure crosses from positive to negative. Above it, dealer hedging tends to dampen moves; below it, dealer hedging tends to accelerate them — it's the line between a calm tape and a volatile one.

How is gamma exposure different from options flow?

Options flow tracks individual trades as they happen — sweeps, blocks, and unusual prints that signal conviction. Gamma exposure is a structural map of dealer hedging obligations across all open interest at every strike. Flow tells you what traders are doing right now; GEX tells you where price is likely to get capped, floored, or accelerated regardless of who's trading.
