🔭 Scanner
The Scanner runs every ticker in your watchlist through the same GEX and options metrics and lays them out as a sortable grid, so you can find the cleanest setups quickly without clicking into each heatmap.

Scanner grid — symbol / price / top node / confirmations
Columns You’ll See#
- Symbol — Ticker, with one-click links to its Heatmap and Chart.
- Price / Chg% / Ext% — Spot, session change, and extension from a reference level.
- ①Top % — Distance from spot to the #1 GEX node, signed (+ above, − below).
- ①Strike — The strike price of the #1 node.
- Confirmations — Quick badges for agreement with the #1 bias:
- IV — King-strike call IV vs. put IV direction.
- IV+ — King-strike call IV vs. spot-strike call IV.
- P/C OI — Put/call open-interest bias.
- GEX Ratio — Call share of total |GEX|.
Confirmations are informational, not a trade signal. A row with all four green means "all four of these metrics agree with the direction of the #1 node" — not that the ticker will move that way.
OI, Vol, Vol > OI and P/C Ratio#
These four basics drive a lot of the Scanner's columns and confirmations:
- OI (Open Interest) — outstanding contracts at a strike. The main driver of |GEX| magnitude.
- Vol (Volume) — contracts traded today. High Vol relative to OI usually means fresh positioning.
- Vol > OI — contracts where today's volume already exceeds yesterday's OI. A quick filter for brand-new activity.
- P/C Ratio — put vs. call ratio (OI or volume, depending on context). Indices normally skew > 1 on OI because of structural hedging.
Sorting & Filtering#
- Click any sortable column header to toggle asc / desc.
- Sort by |①Top %| to find tickers closest to their strongest node — candidates for pinning behavior.
- Sort by Ext% to surface stretched names.
One-Click Drill-Downs#
Every row has compact buttons that open the ticker's full Heatmap or Chart view in a new tab — useful for a quick visual check without losing your place in the scanner.
