πŸ“Š Compare

The Compare view lets you analyze multiple tickers simultaneously in a grid layout. Each ticker gets its own card with GEX profile, summary metrics, and key levels β€” making it easy to observe relative positioning across the market.

GammaBaba Compare View

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 β€” 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 β€” Click the βœ• 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 4–8 tickers.

What Each Card Shows

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

  • Ticker & spot price β€” Current price with change percentage.
  • King Strike β€” The primary GEX node with distance from current price.
  • Gamma Flip β€” The price where net GEX transitions from positive to negative.
  • Net GEX bar β€” Visual bar showing the total GEX direction and magnitude.
  • Summary metrics β€” GEX Ratio, Net GEX, P/C OI, and other key indicators in compact badge format.
  • Strike profile β€” A mini GEX-by-strike bar chart showing the distribution of gamma across price levels.
πŸ’‘ Each card uses the same 1% GEX scale (per 1% move) and BS estimation mode by default. This makes cross-ticker comparisons meaningful β€” a $500 stock and a $20 stock are on the same scale.

Layout Options

Toggle between two layout modes:

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

Auto-Refresh

Compare supports auto-refresh with configurable intervals β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” SPY vs QQQ vs IWM: are all three in positive or negative GEX? Is one index diverging?
  • Sector rotation β€” Compare sector ETFs (XLF, XLE, XLK) to see where gamma is concentrated across sectors.
  • Relative positioning β€” 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 β€” Compare tickers reporting earnings this week to observe their GEX profiles before the event.
πŸ’‘ Quick Setup: For a market-wide scan, start with the defaults (SPX, SPY, QQQ, IWM) and add sector ETFs like XLF or XLE. This gives you both the broad market and sector-level GEX positioning in one view.
