Free view of gamma-exposure (GEX) by strike, call/put walls, and the zero-gamma flip for major tickers.
The GEX Heatmap is a free, no-login page that shows where dealer gamma concentrates by strike — the call wall (resistance), put wall (support), and zero-gamma flip — and whether the market is in a long-gamma (volatility dampened) or short-gamma (volatility amplified) regime.
Open it from the top nav GEX Heatmap, or go to /gex-heatmap.
This is the free, public snapshot page. The in-terminal real-time GEX flow lives in the Options Desk "Live Flow" window — a strike × expiry GEX heatmap plus call/put flow in one view. This page is for "see today's key levels for free"; for intraday tracking use the Options Desk or HuntingFlow.
Who can use it
- Public / free: anyone can view it without logging in.
- Partially paywalled: the profile lists up to 30 strikes, of which the first 12 are readable for free; the rest are blurred with an "upgrade to Essential" prompt. The real-time full-chain terminal lives at
/huntingflow, and the in-terminal real-time flow is the Options Desk Live Flow window.
Tickers & update cadence
| Ticker | Type | Update |
|---|---|---|
| SPY · QQQ · SPX | Equity-index options | ~30 min delayed, page polls every 30s |
A breathing status badge at the top shows whether data is live (green) or delayed (amber).
The public page covers those three tickers only. Crypto (BTC / ETH) and CSI 300 (HS300) have been delisted — they no longer appear in selectors and are no longer collected. For the full catalogue use HuntingFlow or the Options Desk.
Panel walkthrough
Control bar
Switch ticker tabs, read spot price, check the live/delay badge, and use the Refresh button (the page also auto-refreshes every 30 seconds).
Key-level badges
A row of the day's core levels: Call Wall (resistance), Put Wall (support), Zero Gamma (flip), and High-Volatility Level (HVL) when present.
Five summary cards
Net DEX, Net GEX, current regime (long/short gamma), gamma flip level, and market status (open/closed).
Auto-interpretation card
Generates 3–4 plain-language takeaways (regime, upside resistance, downside support, reference range) from spot vs. the key levels.
GEX profile chart
A horizontal diverging bar chart by strike: positive GEX to the right (cyan), negative to the left (magenta), with the spot row highlighted. Strikes beyond the free count are blurred with an upgrade prompt.
There is also a 3-day open-interest (OI) trend table, a SPX · SPY · QQQ Trinity view (side-by-side mini profiles), and a daily GEX key-levels email signup.
Typical workflow
- Land on the page (defaults to SPY) → pick a ticker tab.
- Check spot + the live/delay badge for freshness.
- Read the key-level badges and five summary cards to fix the regime and flip first.
- Read the auto-interpretation card for a one-line take.
- Scan the GEX profile for call/put walls (an upgrade prompt appears past the free rows).
- Use the SPX · SPY · QQQ Trinity view to check whether all three chains agree structurally; upgrade for full strikes, real time or more tickers.
