5-Minute Tour
Create an account
Open the site → top-right Sign In → one-click login with Google / GitHub, or use email + password.
A new account starts at Free tier: you can browse the landing page, docs, and Mag7 ticker, but cannot view live GEX data.
Open HuntingFlow
Top nav → HuntingFlow (or visit /huntingflow).
Free users see a blurred preview + upgrade prompt. Pro users land directly on the live ES / NQ GEX chart.
Switch ticker
Top-left dropdown: toggle between ES (S&P 500 futures) and NQ (NASDAQ 100 futures). Ultra users unlock SPX, QQQ, IWM, XSP and more — 62 tickers total.
HuntingFlow Glyph Reference
Opening HuntingFlow shows a large chart + auxiliary cards. Below: every element explained.
Main chart
1. Spot price line
- White glowing line: real-time SPX spot
- Gradient fill: based on open direction, green = up day, red = down day
- Refresh: ~3s (Pro), ~1s (Lifetime / Quant)
2. HVL (gold solid line)
- The single most important line of the day — regime divide
- Spot above: Long Gamma (pinning, reverting)
- Spot below: Short Gamma (amplifying, trending)
3. cT / pT (light grey dashed lines)
- A segment above HVL = cT (Call Transition)
- A segment below HVL = pT (Put Transition)
- Marks the boundaries of the "transition compression zone"
- See 4-Layer Framework → Layer 1 · Regime
4. C1 / C2 / C3... (blue family, thicker outside → in)
- C1: today's largest Call Wall (importance ★★★★) — upside cap
- C2–C6: secondary walls in descending gamma strength
- Click any pill → top-right popup with the level's metadata
5. P1 / P2 / P3... (red family)
- P1: today's largest Put Wall (importance ★★★★) — downside floor
- P2–P6: secondary walls
6. Ab1 / Ab2 / Ab3 (purple pills with star prefix)
- Ab1: strike with highest total gamma concentration — the market's biggest "magnet"
- Price tends to oscillate around Ab1
7. +Γ / −Γ (major long / short gamma lines)
- +Γ: major long gamma — the positive extreme of the dealer gamma curve
- −Γ: major short gamma — the negative extreme
- These lines align with the official state options-chain
major_long_gamma/major_short_gamma; without state data they fall back to orderflow gamma, then to the volume-GEX positive / negative peaks - There is only ever one +Γ / −Γ pair — the upper / lower bounds of the day's gamma structure
8. D+ / D− (deep purple / deep red horizontal lines)
- D+: highest positive Net DEX concentration — usually overhead resistance
- D−: highest negative Net DEX concentration — usually downside support
- Price crossing D+ / D− → Hermēs fires a DEX Flip Alert on Discord; the most important event-level signal of the day
9. 0Γ (dashed line)
- The strike where Net GEX = 0
- Not the same as HVL (HVL is peak, 0Γ is zero crossing)
- The two are usually close; if they coincide, the chart auto-hides one to reduce clutter
10. Triple distribution bars (chart right edge · three columns)
Three columns hug the right Y-axis, comparing "theory / volume / open interest" gamma views at a glance:
- Left — Gamma Profile (cyan / purple): the dealer's theoretical gamma curve; positive peak = major long gamma, negative peak = major short gamma
- Middle — Volume GEX (green / red): per-strike GEX weighted by the day's volume
- Right — OI GEX (blue / amber): per-strike GEX on an open-interest basis
- Bar length = absolute gamma magnitude at that strike for the chosen basis
- Multi-expiry switch: a selector above the chart toggles 90D / 0DTE / next-day expiries, so you see which tenor and strike dealers are most loaded at
11. Skewer clustering
- When multiple levels land within 10px of each other, Hermēs auto-spreads them horizontally
- E.g.
C1 + COI + Ab1shown side-by-side as a "skewer" - Longer skewer → denser structure → higher Confluence
Bottom sub-panes
Below the main chart, several independent sub-panes stack by importance and share the main time axis:
- DEX orderflow sub-pane (magenta bars): per-minute net Delta flow, with sign shown by shade, plus a spot-price overlay on a dual Y-axis — instantly see whether "price up / down" diverges from "flow in / out"
- GEX orderflow sub-pane: net GEX orderflow over time
- CVR (convexity) orderflow sub-pane: curvature / convexity orderflow
Sub-panes have a fixed height and never squeeze the main price area; they zoom and pan together with the main chart.

Tactical HUD — Four Cards
Below the chart, four cyberpunk-styled cards — the highest-frequency "glanceable" info of the day.
① Market State
Key fields:
- Regime:
LONG GAMMA/SHORT GAMMA(large text) - Spot vs HVL: delta, e.g.
+12.5means spot is 12.5 points above HVL - Spot vs 0Γ: delta
- Zone: which of the 6 zones (Negative Extension / Negative Gamma / Lower Trans / Upper Trans / Positive Gamma / Positive Extension)
Use: first glance at open, decide the day's "universe" in 5 seconds.
② Options Flow
Key fields:
- DEX Flow: real-time dealer Delta exposure direction (green up / red down)
- Net GEX (ZGR): market-wide net gamma ($-billions)
- Vanna Exposure: cumulative Vanna exposure
Use:
- Big DEX Flow flip → afternoon may reverse
- Deep negative Net GEX (ZGR ≪ 0) → watch for Short Gamma amplification
- High Vanna → in the afternoon, watch VIX dropping push SPX higher
③ EOD Magnet
Key fields:
- Target Strike: AI-predicted close magnet
- Distance: spot to target with direction
- Countdown: time until close
- Confidence: AI confidence (0–100%)
Use:
- 60 minutes before close, watch this card
- Clear distance + high confidence → consider an "EOD magnet" trade
- Mechanics: Options & Dealer Mechanics → Charm
④ Key Levels
Key fields:
- C1 / P1: nearest Call / Put wall and distance to spot
- HVL: gold regime divide
- Prior-day H / L: structural reference
Use:
- Spot tagging a ★★★ zone → raise alertness
- Combined with regime card → high-quality reversal vs breakout entry
HUD colour codes:
- Cyan = neutral / bullish lean
- Yellow = warning / key value
- Red = bearish / risk

Options Desk · Ultra
The Options Desk is a Bloomberg-style multi-window workbench available exclusively to Ultra subscribers. It implements the industry's first GEX → Strategy → Implied Probability closed-loop workflow — designed to translate structural dealer positioning directly into actionable options trades with built-in probability validation.
For a full guide to every window, panel, and feature in the Options Desk, see the dedicated Options Desk guide →
The 3-Step Workflow
Step 1 · GEX Environment Analysis
Click the ⚡ Strategy Guide button in the Options Desk header.
The guide reads the live GEX snapshot and displays:
- Regime — current Long / Short Gamma environment, colour-coded
- Key Levels — Zero Gamma, Call Wall, Put Wall, HVL with live price distance
- Wall Stability — a 5-day bar showing how many sessions each wall held its position (e.g. "C1 held 4 of 5 days → high-conviction resistance")
- IV Rank — current implied volatility rank (0–100) to gauge premium richness
Step 2 · Strategy Suggestion
Based on the GEX environment, the guide automatically surfaces 2–3 concrete, pre-wired structures with confidence scores and plain-language rationale:
| Market Condition | Suggested Structure | Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Positive gamma, tight walls, low IV | Iron Condor | Sell both walls; dealer pinning reduces tail risk |
| Positive gamma, clear support level | Bull Put Spread | Buy put spread below Put Wall; dealers defend |
| Negative gamma, high IV rank | Short Strangle | Premium capture; wide structure for room |
| Negative gamma, directional break | Directional debit spread | Follow regime momentum |
Each suggestion includes a theoretical PoP (Black-Scholes) as a pre-flight sanity check.
Clicking "Use This Strategy" instantly pre-fills all legs (strikes, expiries, quantities) into the Strategy Workshop — no manual entry required.
Step 3 · Implied Probability Verification
Once the legs are loaded, switch to the Vol Intelligence panel → Implied Distribution tab.
This tab uses the Breeden-Litzenberger method to reconstruct the market's own risk-neutral probability density from the IV smile. The key read:
- The grey area P(profit) shows what the market's collective pricing implies about your structure's chance of expiring in-profit
- Compare it to the Black-Scholes PoP from Step 2 — if market-implied probability significantly exceeds the theoretical PoP, the options market is pricing in your thesis
This verification step eliminates the bias of any single model. If the GEX structure, IV rank, and market-implied distribution all point in the same direction, you have a high-conviction setup.
Window Types
The Options Desk is composed of 5 independent windows, each draggable and resizable:
| Window | Description |
|---|---|
| Strategy Workshop | Multi-leg builder with P&L chart, position Greeks, breakeven calculator |
| Vol Intelligence | IV smile, term structure, Vanna regime, Breeden-Litzenberger implied distribution |
| GEX Data Center | Multi-column gamma ladder (0DTE / 1DTE / Full), Vanna/Charm analysis |
| Market Scan | Cross-ticker IV rank scan, strategy filter, ranked opportunity list |
| P&L Tracker | Portfolio P&L across active positions with Greeks attribution |
Window layouts are saved automatically to localStorage and can be saved as named templates.
The Options Desk is exclusive to the Ultra plan. Pro users can upgrade from Settings → Billing.
