NQ GEX Levels
Map NDX dealer gamma onto your NQ chart to time intraday acceleration and pullback levels.
NQ (E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures) is more volatile and especially sensitive to dealer gamma structure. HermesGEX computes NDX gamma / delta exposure per contract from official exchange options-chain data and maps it onto your NQ (and micro MNQ) chart — call/put walls, Zero Gamma and HVL overlaid without leaving your order-entry environment.
Why 0DTE matters for NQ
Nasdaq-100 options also expire daily (0DTE). In a negative-gamma regime, dealer hedging amplifies NQ’s intraday swings — sharper breakouts, faster pullbacks; reading the 0DTE gamma line materially improves entry timing.
The NQ levels worth watching
- Call Wall — upside cap where NQ rallies often stall
- Put Wall — downside floor where NQ dips often find support
- Zero Gamma — regime line separating range from trend days
- HVL — heaviest-gamma strike; NQ’s intraday center of gravity
Full definitions of each level are in the GEX glossary.

Are NQ gamma levels accurate?
