The single strike with the biggest dealer position on the board — the most important level of the day. Think of it as a gravitational center: price tends to get pulled toward it and react hard when it gets there.

King above spot with positive GEX = ceiling. Dealers will sell into any rally toward it.
King above spot with negative GEX = trip wire. If price breaks above it, dealers are forced to buy and the move rockets up fast.
King below spot with positive GEX = floor. Dealers buy any dip toward it — good support.
King below spot with negative GEX = trapdoor. If price breaks below it, dealers are forced to sell and the drop accelerates.

The 2nd and 3rd largest positions on the board. Think of them as checkpoints — price has to work through them to get to the king. If a gate node is between spot and king, it may slow or temporarily stop the move.

The nearest strong positive GEX strike above spot. Dealers are long here and will sell into any rally that approaches it — acts like a ceiling. In positive gamma, price usually stalls or reverses at the call wall. In negative gamma, if price breaks through it the move can accelerate hard beyond it.

The nearest strong negative GEX strike below spot. Dealers are short here and will buy as price approaches — acts like a floor. Same rules apply as call wall: holds in positive gamma, can give way fast in negative gamma.

The price level where dealer positioning flips from positive to negative (or vice versa). Above the flip = positive gamma territory, moves are contained. Below the flip = negative gamma, moves accelerate.

This is one of the most important levels on the board. If spot is near the flip, the whole character of the market can change on a single candle.

Magnet Mode (positive gamma): Dealers hedge against the move. Every time price pushes in one direction, dealers push it back. Acts like a rubber band — price gets pulled back toward the king node. Fade the extremes, don't chase.

Rocket Mode (negative gamma): Dealers hedge with the move. When price breaks a level, dealers are forced to trade in the same direction, making the move accelerate. Never fade a move in Rocket Mode — ride it with a trail stop.

LOADING: A node's GEX grew by 10%+ over the last 10 minutes — dealers are actively adding to this position. The level is getting stronger and more likely to hold or act as a magnet.

FADING: A node's GEX shrank by 10%+ over the last 10 minutes — dealers are stepping back. The level is weakening and less likely to hold.

🔥 = same signal on the 3-minute window. Building fast right now.
🧊 = same signal on the 3-minute window. Fading fast right now.

⚡ TRIP WIRE — King node is above spot with negative GEX. If price breaks above the king, dealers get squeezed long and the move up accelerates fast. This is a breakout setup.

🪤 RUG PULL — King node is below spot with negative GEX. If price breaks below the king, dealers get squeezed short and the drop accelerates. Do not buy this dip.

⟳ SQUEEZE — Large negative nodes on both sides of spot within 3 strikes. Whichever side breaks first will move fast. Think coiled spring — direction unknown until a side gives.

↓↓ CASCADE — Three or more consecutive fading negative nodes below spot. Nothing to slow a drop — each level adds fuel instead of absorbing it.

▽ CEILING FADE — Positive king above spot and accumulating. Dealers are actively selling into every rally. Fade the move up.

△ FLOOR BOUNCE — Positive king below spot and accumulating. Dealers are actively buying every dip. Fade the move down.

⟷ RANGE LOCK — Strong positive nodes capping both sides. Price pinned in a range — sell near the top, buy near the bottom.

Rates how confident the setup signal is based on two factors: how much the king node has grown since 9:30 (larger % = more dealer commitment), and how many times price has already tested the king today (more touches = level is weakening). Strong + 1st touch is your best entry window.
