๐Ÿ“Š Multi Heatmap

The Compare view puts several GEX heatmaps side by side in a single grid so you can read the whole market at once. Each ticker gets its own card with a gamma-regime label, King Strike, gamma flip, and a compact GEX profile โ€” making it easy to spot relative positioning and divergences across indices, sectors, and individual names.

Compare โ€” SPX, SPY, QQQ and IWM GEX heatmaps side by side with each ticker gamma regime

Default Tickers#

Compare launches with four default tickers: SPX, SPY, QQQ, and IWM. These give you an instant snapshot of the broad market's GEX landscape across large-cap, tech-heavy, and small-cap indices.

You can replace any of these with your own tickers to compare any combination of US stocks and ETFs.

Adding & Removing Tickers#

  • Add a ticker โ€” Type a symbol in the input field at the top of the Compare view and press Enter or click the add button. The ticker is fetched and a new card appears in the grid.
  • Remove a ticker โ€” Click the โœ• button on any ticker card to remove it from the comparison.
  • There's no hard limit on the number of tickers, but performance is best with 4โ€“8 tickers.

What Each Card Shows#

Every ticker card in the Compare view displays a condensed GEX profile:

  • Ticker & spot price โ€” Current price with change percentage.
  • King Strike โ€” The primary GEX node with distance from current price.
  • Gamma Flip โ€” The price where net GEX transitions from positive to negative.
  • Net GEX bar โ€” Visual bar showing the total GEX direction and magnitude.
  • Summary metrics โ€” GEX Ratio, Net GEX, P/C OI, and other key indicators in compact badge format.
  • Strike profile โ€” A mini GEX-by-strike bar chart showing the distribution of gamma across price levels.

Layout Options#

Toggle between two layout modes:

  • Horizontal โ€” Cards arranged side by side in a row. Good for comparing 2โ€“4 tickers on a wide screen.
  • Vertical โ€” Cards stacked vertically. Good for more tickers or narrower screens.

Auto-Refresh#

Compare supports auto-refresh with configurable intervals โ€” from every 15 seconds to every 15 minutes. A countdown timer shows when the next refresh will occur. All tickers refresh simultaneously.

Each card shows a data age indicator โ€” how many seconds since the last successful fetch. If data becomes stale (e.g., network issue), the age turns red to alert you.

Use Cases#

  • Index comparison โ€” SPY vs QQQ vs IWM: are all three in positive or negative GEX? Is one index diverging?
  • Sector rotation โ€” Compare sector ETFs (XLF, XLE, XLK) to see where gamma is concentrated across sectors.
  • Relative positioning โ€” Compare two or more individual stocks to see which has the King Strike closest to its current price, which has the highest GEX Ratio, etc.
  • Pre-earnings scan โ€” Compare tickers reporting earnings this week to observe their GEX profiles before the event.
