📊 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 — making it easy to observe relative positioning across the market.

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

💡 Each card uses the same per-1% GEX scale by default. That normalization is what makes cross-ticker comparisons meaningful — a $500 ETF and a $20 stock land on the same axis.

Layout Options#

Toggle between two layout modes:

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

Auto-Refresh#

Compare supports auto-refresh with configurable intervals — 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 — 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 — SPY vs QQQ vs IWM: are all three in positive or negative GEX? Is one index diverging?
Sector rotation — Compare sector ETFs (XLF, XLE, XLK) to see where gamma is concentrated across sectors.
Relative positioning — 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 — Compare tickers reporting earnings this week to observe their GEX profiles before the event.

💡 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.
