📊 GEX Profile
The GEX Profile collapses the heatmap into a single horizontal view: net GEX by strike for the selected expiry set. It's the fastest way to see the dealer-positioning landscape alongside where price currently is.

GEX Profile — horizontal bars per strike with spot/King/Flip markers
What You See#
- Horizontal bars — one per strike, length proportional to net GEX at that strike.
- Right side (blue) — positive net GEX (call-side dominance).
- Left side (green) — negative net GEX (put-side dominance).
- Spot line — marks the current price across the profile.
- King Strike and Gamma Flip are labeled directly on the profile.
Clicking a Strike#
Click any bar to open a popup with the contract-level breakdown at that strike: call / put OI, gamma, premium, and IV.
Near-term expirations dominate the profile because gamma scales up as DTE approaches zero. Use the toolbar to filter expiries if you want to isolate longer-dated positioning.
When to Use It#
- Quick check before a trading session — where are the walls above and below?
- Confirming a heatmap read with a simpler view.
- Pairing with Chart View to map each profile level onto the tape.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Horizontal profile = net GEX per strike, signed
- Spot, King Strike and Gamma Flip are marked directly on the chart
