GEX = Gamma Exposure — dealer hedging sensitivity to price movement.
VEX = Vanna Exposure — dealer hedging sensitivity to volatility (specifically, how delta shifts when IV changes).
Most traders watch price. I watch who's forced to trade against it.
Every options contract sitting open creates a hedging obligation for market makers. Not a prediction — an obligation. When they're long gamma at a strike, they sell rallies and buy dips to stay neutral. Price gets sticky. When they're short gamma, they do the opposite: buy strength, sell weakness. Price accelerates.
That's why some levels act like magnets and others act like trapdoors.
Three things I look at:
The King Node — the strike with the largest dealer exposure. Yellow means it pins. Purple means it amplifies.
What sits above vs below spot — a big positive node overhead is resistance you fade into. A big negative node underneath is a level that breaks fast once tapped.
What's growing or shrinking — a node gaining size means hedging pressure is building there. One that's fading has already done its work.
The part most people miss: purple cuts both ways. Short gamma doesn't mean bearish. It means whatever happens, happens faster.
This isn't a crystal ball. It's a map of where mechanical flow lives. Price still does what it wants — this just tells you where the friction is.
Not financial advice. Educational only. I'm not a registered advisor and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
$OKLO $25.22 (−6.0%)
OKLO dropped 6% Friday and landed near $25. The biggest level on the map is a calm $27 above, with more calm levels at $26–26.50, so there’s a pull back up toward $27 next week. There isn’t much of a floor under $25, though, and positioning on this name is thin overall, so these levels are weaker than usual.
Watch: $24, $25, $26.50, $27
Most likely: drifts between $25 and $27 next week.
Wrong if: closes below $24.
CSP: No clean setup. There’s little support under price, and fast levels sit at $24 and $23.50.
Covered call: No clean setup. There’s no real floor, and the Nov 13 date is nearly empty.
$axti King node at 60 with one almost as large under current price. Vex is all above. with the biggest one at 60. Current price is 55.
$SOFI $16.77 (−4.9%)
SOFI fell about 5% Friday and is sitting just under a calm level at $17, which should hold price in place for now. There’s a ceiling right above at $17.50–18, so a bounce likely stalls there. The bigger risk comes later in the month: the largest level on the map is a fast $14 on the Nov 20 date. That can pull price down quickly if $16 gives way.
VEX: mostly positive. If volatility cools after Friday’s drop, dealer hedging adds buying support.
Watch: $14, $16, $17, $18
Most likely: chops between $16 and $18 next week.
Wrong if: closes below $16.
CSP: No clean setup. The fast $14 King sits below any strike worth selling.
Covered call: Marginal Yes, $18 for Nov 13. There’s calm support at $17 and $16, and $18 is the ceiling. Keep an eye on the $14 risk later in the month.
$nbis has Both Gex and Vex at 180 in mid November which is about 3 weeks away so anything can happen between now then.
$CIFR looks volatile. You have Gex king nodes all over the place. Most likely due to earnings this Monday. Please be cautious here.
$gme King node for November is 25 dollars for Gex and 28 dollars for Vex. Current price 24 dollars.
Hey guys these were the trades for today using the AI based gamma trades that you can read about below. Will continue this for the month of Nov. Once a consistency is shown I will be streaming the prompts to see if we can make a daily income from trading indexes. Keep your fingers crossed. $spy $spx $qqq $nbis $gme $CIFR $intc $rddt
Hey everyone iv been busy working on something for us and testing to see if it can work. Ill have more details tomorrow.
1. Basically i have been programing claude ai with data backed research using AI own research on 0DTE index trading ($spy $qqq $spx) for example if gamma heatmaps can predict direction in conjunction with supporter levels via charts etc. Asking it to give a probability when a trade success reaches above 60 percent.
2. I have then used claude bot to open and read the 3 gamma heatmap software's simultaneously
(yes i use 3 lol) . I have also given it access to my trading view account with all the indicators set up.
3. I have then instructed and programed it to read all gamma heatmaps for SPY QQQ and SPX. See where the fast moving levels are and calm levels. Use charts via trading view to map out direction and support level indicators. Then have AI give a probability on a trade above 60 percent.
4. We then use 1 thousand dollar challenge account to see if we can create daily income by risking very low amounts usually 1 or 2 contracts hoping to make about 200 dollars per day.
5. The idea is to create low risk low capital requirement trade that can be used to create a monthly income like a job.
More update tommorrow. $nbis $apld $CIFR $gme $sofi
$aaoi has a king node in mid november at around 86. Are the dealers hedging the war and elections are over by then and it can start moving there?
$AAOI $66.93 −15.5%
AAOI got hit hard today and is now sitting right on its biggest level, the $65–67 zone. That’s where most of today’s options are stacked, so it acts like a magnet. Above, nothing strong shows up until $70. The levels near $75 and $80 could speed things up if buyers ever push it that high. BUT WE NEED BUYERS GOD DARN IT.
Most likely: chops between $65 and $68 into the close.
Wrong if: it closes under $65.
Watch: $65, $67, $70, $75
CSP: No clean setup
Covered call: No clean setup
Hey guys with stocks like $intc down 30 percent. It feels like we are looking into the abyss. I don't have a big account but the few of you guys that do follow me i see you as family. Please DM ME if you are struggling and need someone to talk to esp about stocks. Or just DM to bitch about the stocks you own. I'm here.
This is a great question to the AI based 0DTE trades we are doing on the challenge account. The answer is WE DONT. Ai reccomended we dont take any directional 0DTE trades after 12 eastern time. Only credit spread calls or puts and only if the premiums r good. $spy $qqq $spx
Directional Ai gamma based 0dte trades are done for today. Here is the screenshot. Once i run this long enough where i feel we have advantage I will start streaming the ai prompts LIVE for you guys during trading hours so you guys can follow along second by second.
Challenge account was created 1 week ago with 1k funded. The account is now officially sitting at 2118.00 up 116 percent this week. Lets see if we can continue this next week. First screenshot is today trades the 2nd screenshot is total trades. (You see that 198 dollar loss ? That was me trading on my own LOL ☺️) $spy $spx $qqq $nbis $CIFR $gme
Update to last nights post.
I have been testing this setup internally for about 1 week using a cash challenge account funded by 1k. Currently the account is sitting at approx 1653.00 dollars.
My goal is to test it till i feel comfortable enough that its giving us an advantage. 1 week is to short of a time but I'm going to run this through November but i wanted give you guys an update of where we are and how much the account is worth. I have saved all the trades for the past week and i will post them at the end of the day Friday including todays trades.
Can 3 gamma heatmaps + Chart + All analyzed by AI give us an advantage? Lets see!
IF i feel that it will be beneficial THEN i will stream the AI for everyone so you get second by second update during trading hours. Wish us luck! I will post the trades today Winner or Loser. We need accountability. $spy $spx $qqq $nbis $CIFR $gme
