Options positioning

Where the options market is leaning — dealer gamma, real dark-pool venue concentration, and market-wide put/call. Built entirely from free public data (Cboe, FINRA, OCC). A structural map of how price is likely to behave, not a trade signal. Display-only research; not advice.

Single-name dealer gamma

bar = size · color = regime · index ETFs excluded

Longer bar = more dealer hedging pressure. Green = dealers dampen moves (price pinned); red = dealers amplify moves (trend-prone). Tap a bar to drill in.

Gamma exposure by name

Cboe chain · ~15-min delayed · as of 2026-08-01

Net GEX = the dollar delta dealers must hedge per +1% move. Positive → they sell rallies / buy dips (calmer, pinned). Negative → they chase the move (faster, breakout-prone). Gamma flip = the price where that behaviour switches. Wall = the strike with the most pull.

Dark-pool concentration

top venue’s share of each name

How much of a stock’s off-exchange volume runs through its single busiest dark pool. Higher = more concentrated routing. Tap to drill in.

The named dark pools handling NVDA that week — the top 5 by share.

Real dark-pool volume, by operator

FINRA ATS · weekly · week of 2026-06-29

Unlike retail “dark-pool print” feeds, FINRA names the venue and counts only genuine ATS volume (not wholesaler-internalised retail flow). HHI is a 0–1 concentration score. Trade-off: it’s weekly and publishes ~2–3 weeks late.

Put/call ratio

OCC total volume · 2026-07-31

Market-wide puts ÷ calls. A classic contrarian gauge: high (≥1.0) flags fear (often near local bottoms), low (<0.8) flags complacency.

How to read this — and what it is not

  • GEX is a proxy, not fact. It assumes dealers are long calls / short puts — the industry-standard guess (the paid tools make the same one). Treat the sign and size as the signal, not the exact dollar.
  • Delay, not secrecy, is what’s paywalled. Everything here is ~15-min (options) to ~2-week (dark pool) delayed. Real-time intraday tape still costs money — but positioning barely moves on a 15-minute delay.
  • Open interest is prior-day settled (it always is, everywhere), so intraday new positions are not in it yet.
  • This is a map of behaviour, not a buy list. It tells you whether a name is likely pinned or unstable — you bring the trade. Not advice.
