Futures GEX community

Dealer gamma levels, on your chart.

GexHunters finds where options dealers are forced to buy and sell the most — Call Wall, Put Wall, Gamma Flip, Max Pain and the gamma ladder — and draws them on your TradingView chart for NQ, ES, GC, SI and more. The levels update three times a day and hold still in between.

TradingView indicator, desktop app or Chrome extension Updates at 9:30 AM, 6:00 PM and 12:00 AM ET NQ · ES · GC · SI · CL and 14 more

Three ways to put GexHunters on your chart.

Pick the one that fits how you trade. All three draw the same levels from the same updates, in the same colours — members get all of them with one login.

Update schedule

Three updates a day, New York time.

Every update re-bakes the levels from fresh open interest. Between updates the levels stay exactly where they are, so what you plan around is what stays on the chart.

Reading the chart

Four thick lines, then the ladders.

Market makers hedge the options they hold. Where the most hedging piles up, price slows, pins or turns — that is what each line marks.

Call Wall

The heaviest call strike above price. Rallies stall, chop or roll over here more often than not; it acts as resistance first and a magnet second.

Put Wall

The heaviest put strike below price. Support while price is above the Gamma Flip; a trapdoor when price reaches it from below the flip.

Gamma Flip

Where net dealer gamma crosses zero. Above it moves get dampened and ranges hold; below it moves get amplified and breaks run.

Max Pain

The price that costs option holders the most at expiration. Gravity, not a wall — strongest in the last hours before the nearest expiry.

Gamma 1–10

The ten strikes with the most gamma near price, ranked. Speed bumps and magnets; the top three often behave like small walls.

Vanna 1–3

Where a move in implied volatility forces the most re-hedging. Watch them on days the VIX is moving hard.

Charm Wall, Charm Zero, Charm 1–3

The slow hedge unwinds that build into the close and into expirations. A tiebreaker late in the day, not a standalone signal.

Delta Wall, Delta Zero, Delta 1–3

Where the biggest hedge inventory already lives, so where unwinding, rolling or expiry moves the most.
