GEX (Gamma Exposure)

Flowtopia’s Gamma Exposure (GEX) tool provides insight into dealer positioning and potential volatility shifts driven by options hedging activity.

Why Gamma Exposure Matters

In negative gamma conditions, price may accelerate rapidly. In positive gamma environments, price often compresses or stabilizes.

Traders use GEX to:

• Anticipate intraday volatility shifts
• Identify potential pinning levels
• Structure trades around key strike concentrations

Gamma analysis adds structural awareness beyond simple price action.
