Options analytics
Chains, greeks, gamma, surfaces, max pain and expiry views.
GEXGamma ExposureDealer gamma at every strike. Where dealers are long gamma their hedging dampens moves, where they are short it amplifies them, and the biggest strikes are walls price tends to stall at.LEVELSKey LevelsThe gamma flip (HVL), call resistance and put support for all expiries, 0DTE and 1DTE. A wall that shows up in both the 0DTE and the all-expiry set is the level that matters.TRACEGamma TraceDealer gamma, charm or vanna projected through the rest of the session, so you see where hedging will concentrate before price gets there. Charm shows the hedging that comes even if price stays flat.HEATMAPStrike Ladder HeatmapDealer GEX, DEX, vanna, charm, vega, open interest or position as a strike ladder around spot, for up to four tickers side by side. It shows at a glance which strike dominates the book.OISTRIKEStrike DeskOpen interest walls, aggressor flow and dealer gamma by strike in one panel. Big walls above and below spot act as magnets or barriers into expiry.GREEKGreek ExposureAny one greek by strike, weighted by open interest, from delta and gamma to vanna, charm and vomma. Use it when one greek drives the day: vega when vol moves fast, charm into expiry.DEXDelta ExposureDealer delta at every strike. GEX says where the magnets are, DEX says which way dealers lean, so read the two together.GEXREPLAYGEX ReplayDealer exposure through time instead of one snapshot: strike bars played back, chosen strikes as lines, or a time by strike heatmap. It shows where dealers built gamma or delta during the day.CHAINOptions ChainEvery option contract with its strike, expiry, IV, open interest, greeks and GEX. Check an aggregate view against the actual contracts before you trade it.OPEXExpiry CountdownOne expiry and everything that matters into it: countdown, open interest, put/call ratio, max pain, ATM IV and the expected move. It shows how much of the expected move spot has already used.SURFACEGreek SurfaceImplied vol, a greek or the implied probability across every strike and expiry as one 3D surface. Read the overall shape first, then open one expiry in SMILE.FLOWLINEGreek Flow LineThe cumulative net delta, gamma or vega customers have pushed onto dealers. Watch the slope: a flat line through a big price move is a divergence.WHALESWhale BoardThe biggest options trades of the session, ranked by premium instead of time. Read them against GEX to see whether the money went into strikes that were already walls.GEXCHARTGEX Levels ChartThe call wall, put wall and gamma flip drawn on a price chart as they moved, with a scrub bar to replay the session.TAPEOptions TapeEvery crypto options print as it happens: side, strike, expiry, size and dollar premium, with block and liquidation tags.AGGRIMBAggressor ImbalanceWho is pressing on the options tape: premium bought by aggressive takers against premium sold, bucket by bucket, with a running net line. It can also weigh the same tape by delta, gamma or vega.
DEXMAPDelta MapA time by strike heatmap of dealer delta through the session. Set to change since the window opened, it shows exactly which strikes dealers are gaining or shedding delta at.
DRIFTDriftPrice on top and the measured net delta flow below, on one time axis. A status strip adds the dealer gamma regime and whether vol is rich or cheap.DRIFTSCANDrift ScannerThe DRIFT read across a whole board, one row per ticker: net measured delta flow, the dealer gamma regime and ATM IV.
DUALGEXDual-Book GEXBitcoin options and IBIT options on one BTC price axis, as dealer gamma in dollars per 1% BTC move. It shows which book dominates near spot.DUALLEVELSDual-Book LevelsThe gamma flip (HVL), call resistance and put support for Bitcoin options, IBIT options mapped to BTC dollars, and both combined, plus the strikes where both books carry size.
DUALTRACEDual-Book TRACEThe TRACE gamma field for Bitcoin options and IBIT options together: time across, BTC price up the side, coloured by measured dealer gamma.
EMSCANExpected Move ScannerOne row per US ticker for the nearest expiry: the expected move band, how far spot has travelled toward it, max pain, the open interest pin zone and how close spot sits to the pin.
FLOWSCANFlow Exposure ScannerMeasured dealer exposure across many names at once, on the same model as TRACE: net gamma, charm and vanna, delta flow, distance to the flip and walls, and the regime.FOOTPRINTOptions FootprintA strike by strike table that puts options flow and the standing book side by side: calls and puts bought and sold, net flow, the aggressor split, then IV, OI, gamma, delta and vega at the same strike.FORWARDImplied ForwardThe forward price the options market implies for each expiry, from put-call parity, and the annualised basis against spot.
GAMMATERMGamma by ExpiryNet dealer gamma for each expiry, weighted so at-the-money contracts count fully and the wings fade. It shows where in time the pin or the instability sits.
GEXCALGEX CalendarDealer gamma by strike and expiry in one grid: strikes down the side, the nearest expiries across, plus a total column. It opens the HEATMAP panel on GEX in grid mode.
GEXPCTGEX PercentileBTC net GEX and net DEX as rolling 30-day percentiles from 0 to 100, under BTC candles, so the two read on one scale.
GREEKTSGreek Term StructureTotal gamma, delta, vega and theta exposure for each expiry, summed over open interest and plotted across the term curve.
OIHISTOpen Interest HistoryTotal, call and put open interest over time, one point per day. It opens the OI panel with the history view already selected.
OPTFLOWOptions Flow by StrikeReal bought and sold calls and puts at every strike, from the options trade tape. Each trade is classed by whether it lifted the ask or hit the bid.PCRPut/Call RatioPut open interest against call open interest, one bar per day. A slow, durable read of how defensive the options book is.POSITIONINGOptions BookDay-over-day change in open interest, GEX and DEX at every strike for US options. It shows where the standing book changed, not who bought or sold.
POSITIONSPositions by StrikeNet dealer gamma at each strike, calls and puts summed. Green bars are strikes where dealers are long gamma, red where they are short.PROBProbability DensityThe price distribution the options market implies at each expiry, taken from option prices (Breeden-Litzenberger). It shows the likeliest settle and how fat each tail is.READDealer ReadThe whole dealer options book in one stance. It reads net dealer gamma, volga, vanna and charm and says whether the regime is FRAGILE, STABLE or MIXED.
SETTLE0DTE Settlement BoardA countdown to the 08:00 UTC crypto options settle, with spot, max pain, the expected move, the 0DTE levels and today's tape on one screen.
STRIKEGEXStrike GammaThe GEX of single strikes through time, one line per strike. It shows which strikes are building or losing dealer gamma over the session.
STRIKEMAGStrike MagnetNet premium traded at each strike from the live options tape. It shows which strikes real money is working right now.
SUMMARYExpiry SummaryOne row per expiry with every key number: days to expiry, ATM IV, skew, risk reversal, max pain, net GEX, put/call ratio and open interest.VANFLOWVol to Futures TransmissionThe vanna regime as a read: the sign of net dealer vanna and the current vol trend give the direction dealers are trading futures to stay hedged.
VANNATERMDealer Greek Term StructureDealer vanna split by tenor, from 0DTE to over a month, at each strike. VEGA and GAMMA switch it to one net dealer bar per expiry.
VBOOKCross-Venue Options BookThe best bid and offer for each crypto option across every venue quoting it, with the venue named on each side. It answers where to execute and what the spread costs.
VEGATERMWeighted Dealer Vega by ExpiryNet dealer vega at each expiry, weighted so at-the-money contracts count in full and the wings fade. It shows where dealers carry vol risk across the curve.
VOLGAVolga / Book StressNet dealer volga at each strike: how much the dealer book's vega moves when implied vol moves. Net short means dealers are forced to chase vol.
WWWhale WatcherOpens the four options flow panels at once: the live tape, the whale board, the strike magnet and the aggressor imbalance.
Volatility
IV against RV, term structure, skew, butterflies, vol carry and surface fits.
SMILEVolatility SmileImplied vol against strike for each expiry. The shape shows what kind of move the market is paying to hedge.TSTerm StructureAt-the-money implied vol by days to expiry. The shape of the curve shows when the market expects trouble.SKEWVolatility SkewThe price gap between puts and calls across expiries: 25 delta and 10 delta skew plus the butterfly, with ATM IV for context.IVRVImplied vs Realized VolWhat options price for future volatility against what the market actually delivers. The gap is the volatility risk premium.

VRPVolatility Risk PremiumImplied vol minus realized vol, day by day, so you can see when options are rich or cheap against what price has actually done.
RISKREVRisk ReversalThe 25 delta risk reversal for every expiry: call IV minus put IV. It shows whether the market is paying up for upside or for protection, and at which tenor.
BFLYButterfly Term StructureThe 25 delta butterfly for every expiry: how much the wings cost over at-the-money. It measures how much tail risk the smile prices in.
COMPASSVol CompassEvery name with options on one map: IV rank up the page, skew rank across, each against its own history. A name in the top right is pricing more fear than it usually does.

SCANMispricing ScannerLiquid out-of-the-money crypto options ranked by how far their IV sits from a smooth SVI fit of each expiry. A relative value screen, not free arbitrage.
SKEWHISTSkew HistoryThe 25 delta risk reversal over time at a fixed tenor, so you can read the market shifting into puts or calls as a trend rather than a snapshot.
SKEWMAPSkew HeatmapThe 25 delta risk reversal across the tenor ladder over time, as a heatmap. It shows whether fear sits in the front, the back or across the whole curve.
VCARRYVol CarryNear-dated ATM IV minus the next expiry's ATM IV, for each pair of expiries. It shows where the term structure is in backwardation and where it is in contango.
VOLFITSVI Volatility FitA raw SVI fit to the out-of-the-money smile of one expiry, so you can see which strikes sit rich or cheap against a smooth baseline.

Flow and positioning
Dealer hedging, premium flow, 0DTE aggression and structural stress.
MAXPAINMax PainThe strike where option holders lose the most at expiry. On big monthly expiries, where open interest is heaviest, price often drifts toward it.PREMFLOWPremium FlowCall against put premium paid into options over time: aggressive money, not passive open interest build.
