Round Strike Price, Levels Options Series➤ Strike Price Range Mode:
➤ Exact Strike Price Mode:
⭐ Overview and How It Works
Round Strike Price or Levels is a precision-focused visual tool designed for options and index traders.
It dynamically plots round strike levels around the current price and presents them either as:
⠀ — Exact strike prices, or
⠀ — Strike price ranges, where each zone represents the midpoint between two adjacent strikes.
The indicator continuously recalculates the base strike using the current price and aligns all surrounding levels using a fixed step size.
All lines and labels are updated only on the last bar for optimal performance and stability.
This makes StrikePrice ideal for:
🔹 Identifying key option strikes.
🔹 Visualizing price acceptance zones.
🔹 Understanding strike-to-strike movement during intraday trading.
⭐ Key Features and Functionality
Strike Price Range:
⠀ — Treats each pair of strike lines as a price zone.
⠀ — Labels are plotted at the midpoint between two lines.
⠀ — Last label is intentionally hidden (no upper range exists)
Exact Strike Price:
⠀ — Labels are plotted directly on each strike line.
⠀ — Useful for precise strike-based analysis.
Dynamic Base Calculation:
⠀ — Automatically snaps price to the nearest round strike.
⠀ — Re-centers the entire grid as price moves.
⠀ — No manual adjustment required.
Efficient Object Management:
⠀ — Uses persistent arrays for lines and labels.
⠀ — Objects are reused instead of recreated.
⠀ — Prevents flickering and avoids TradingView object limits.
🎨 Visualizations and User Experience
Clean horizontal strike grid with configurable:
⠀ — Line width, Line color, Line style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted), Extension direction (Left / Right / Both / None).
Labels are:
⠀ — Positioned to the right of price, Size-adjustable, Fully customizable in text color and background color.
Designed to stay visually clear even on:
⠀ — Fast-moving intraday charts, Options-focused layouts, Multi-indicator setups.
Tip: Increase Right Bars Margin in chart settings to give labels proper spacing.
⭐ Settings and Customization
🔹 Strike Settings:
⠀ — Step (points): Distance between adjacent strike levels (e.g., 50, 100)
⠀ — Levels per side: Number of strike levels plotted above and below the base.
⠀ — Strike Mode: Strike Price Range, Exact Strike Price.
🔹 Line Settings:
⠀ — Line width, Line color, Line style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted), Line extension direction.
🔹 Label Settings:
⠀ — Show / hide labels, Label distance (bars to the right), Label size, Label text color, Label background color.
All label properties are updated dynamically, allowing real-time UI tuning without reloading the script.
⭐ Uniqueness of the Concept:
Unlike generic round-number indicators, StrikePrice:
⠀ — Understands option-style strike structure.
⠀ — Separates range-based thinking from exact price levels.
⠀ — Uses midpoint logic to visualize strike-to-strike movement.
⠀ — Maintains strict performance discipline by updating only when necessary.
This makes it especially useful for:
⠀ • NIFTY / BANKNIFTY options.
⠀ • Index and futures traders.
⠀ • Intraday strike rotation analysis.
⠀ • Premium decay and range-bound setups.
🚀 Conclusion:
StrikePrice is a focused, professional-grade indicator for traders who think in strikes, ranges, and levels rather than arbitrary prices.
It offers:
⠀ • Clear structure
⠀ • Accurate strike alignment
⠀ • Clean visuals
⠀ • Zero repainting logic

IV vs Realised Volatility (VIX/HV Comparator)VIX / HV Comparator – Implied vs Realised Volatility
This indicator compares Implied Volatility (IV) from a volatility index (VIX, India VIX, etc.) with the Realised / Historical Volatility (HV) of the current chart symbol.
It helps you see whether options are pricing volatility as rich or cheap relative to what the underlying is actually doing.
What it does
Pulls IV from any user-selected vol index symbol (e.g. CBOE:VIX for SPX, NSEINDIA:INDIAVIX for Nifty).
Calculates realised volatility from the chart’s price data using returns over a user-defined lookback.
Annualises HV so IV and HV are displayed on the same percentage scale, on any timeframe (intraday or higher).
Optionally shows an IV/HV ratio in a separate pane to highlight when options are rich or cheap relative to realised volatility.
How to read it
Main panel:
Orange line – Implied Volatility (IV) from your chosen vol index.
Aqua line – Realised / Historical Volatility (HV) of the current chart symbol.
Fill between lines:
Green shading -> IV > HV -> options are priced richer than what the underlying is currently realising.
Red shading -> HV > IV -> realised vol is higher than the options market is implying.
Sub-panel (optional):
IV / HV ratio
- Above 1 -> IV > HV (vol rich).
- Below 1 -> IV < HV (vol cheap).
- Horizontal guides (for example 1.2 / 0.8) help frame “significantly rich/cheap” zones.
A small label on the latest bar displays the current IV, HV and their difference in vol points.
Inputs (key ones)
IV Index Symbol – choose the volatility index that corresponds to your underlying (VIX, India VIX, etc.).
Realised Vol Lookback – number of bars used to compute HV (for example 20).
Trading Days per Year and Active Hours per Day – used for annualising HV so it stays consistent across timeframes.
IV Scale Factor – adjust if your IV index is quoted in decimals (0.15) instead of points (15).
Practical uses
Context for options trades – Quickly see if current IV is high or low relative to realised volatility when deciding on strategies (premium selling vs buying, spreads, hedges).
Vol regime analysis – Track shifts where HV starts to rise above IV (real stress building) or IV spikes far above HV (fear premium / insurance bid).
Cross-timeframe checks – Use on intraday charts for short-term trading context, or on daily/weekly charts for bigger picture vol regimes.
This tool is not a stand-alone signal generator. It is meant to be a volatility dashboard you combine with your usual price action, trend, and options strategy rules to understand how the options market is pricing risk vs what the underlying is actually delivering.
GexView📈 OVERVIEW
GexView indicator plots the Historical Gamma Exposure (GEX) profile, directly on the chart. It enables traders and analysts to observe how GEX profile evolve across multiple days/sessions.
🧲 CONCEPT
Today everybody uses Gamma Exposure. Gamma is the ROC (Rate of Change) for an option’s delta. GEX is crucial for all traders, not just intraday traders, because it helps assess market stability and potential volatility shifts driven by options positioning.
High positive GEX generally implies a mean-reverting market, where big price swings are dampened, while negative GEX signals increased volatility and potential large moves.
Understanding GEX allows traders to anticipate liquidity-driven price action, identify key support and resistance levels, and adjust strategies accordingly. In today’s market, where options flow heavily influences underlying assets, ignoring GEX can mean missing critical market dynamics that impact both short-term and long-term positions.
💡 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is a unique tool and offers a groundbreaking way to visualize market dynamics by plotting Historical Gamma Exposure (GEX), like a Volume Profile across multiple days or sessions. For the first time, traders can clearly see how GEX levels evolve over time, revealing how certain price zones gain or lose importance as market conditions change. This multi-session GEX profile allows users to identify persistent areas of dealer positioning and potential support or resistance that develop and shift over days. Unlike traditional GEX tools designed primarily for intraday use, this indicator provides valuable insight for both short-term traders and medium-term investors seeking to understand how option market flows influence price behaviour over extended periods.
⚙️ FEATURES
• Historical Gamma Exposure
The GexView indicator by default plots the last 6 days of the GEX profile, providing a framework for understanding the bigger picture.
• GEX profile
Displays the 10 largest GEX levels across all expirations (thick lines), as well as the 10 largest GEX levels for the next expiration (thin lines, 0DTE or upcoming).

ATM Pulse (Arjo)ATM Pulse (Arjo) — Real-Time ATM Options Sentiment & Trend Strength Indicator
Overview
ATM Pulse (Arjo) is an options analytics and trend overlay tool that automatically detects the At-The-Money (ATM) strike for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY , or any selected stock.
It merges Call–Put Volume Ratio (CPVR) sentiment analysis with a Chandelier Exit trend overlay to help traders visualize both market bias and trend direction in a single chart.
Concepts & Logic
ATM Auto Detection
The script calculates the current ATM strike by rounding the underlying’s price to the nearest strike interval (e.g., 50 for NIFTY, 100 for BANKNIFTY). It then requests live option-chain data for that strike.
Call–Put Volume Ratio (CPVR)
The Call-Put Volume Ratio (CPVR) is calculated as the call volume divided by the put volume.
CPVR > 1.25 → Bullish dominance (Calls stronger)
CPVR < 0.75 → Bearish dominance (Puts stronger)
0.75–1.25 → Neutral sentiment
This ratio helps interpret real-time option-market positioning.
Chandelier Exit Trend Overlay
Using Average True Range (ATR) , the overlay plots dynamic trailing stops and visual trend zones:
🟢 Green: Uptrend continuation zone
🔴 Red: Downtrend continuation zone
A color change signals possible momentum reversal.
Combination of CPVR and Chandelier Exit
CPVR gauges option-market sentiment
Chandelier Exit confirms price-action direction
When both align (e.g., bullish CPVR + green Chandelier zone), it strengthens directional conviction. Divergent readings may signal indecision or early reversals.
How to Use
Open any NIFTY, BANKNIFTY , or stocks chart.
Add ATM Pulse (Arjo) to the chart.
Select your expiry date — the script auto-detects the ATM strike and displays:
C: Call LTP
P: Put LTP
CPVR: Call/Put Volume Ratio label
Watch the Chandelier Exit colors:
🟢 Green = Bullish trend
🔴 Red = Bearish trend
Combine CPVR bias + trend color for confirmation.
If CPVR is above 1.25 and trend color green → More bullish activity (Calls stronger).
If CPVR is below 0.75, and trend color red→ More bearish activity (Puts stronger).
If CPVR is between 0.75 and 1.25 and the trend color is gray/mixed → Neutral
Practical Use Case
The script continuously updates the ATM strike, CPVR , and trend overlay in real time.
It provides a clear visual snapshot of how option volumes align with price momentum , ideal for intraday or short-term directional traders.

Option Chain-Based Call & Put Momentum VisualizerOption Chain-Based Call & Put Momentum Visualizer
invite-only by @JjpTradingAcademy
Overview
The Option Chain-Based CE/PE Momentum Visualizer is a powerful analytical tool designed to track real-time momentum and sentiment shifts between Call (CE) and Put (PE) options directly on the chart. It offers deep insight into option buyers’ and sellers’ behavior by analyzing multiple strikes, dynamically calculating cumulative CE/PE strength, and correlating it with underlying index price movements.
How to Use
The bottom pane of the indicator displays the decay data for both Call and Put options at every candle, green shows positive, red shows negative, and orange shows neutral. At the centre, it shows difference between Call and Put decay data, if the difference is less than 35 then it indicates with lime color otherwise it appears with purple color, When the trend changes between from lime and purple, the indicator plots a purple bar representing strong candles that often precede high momentum moves.
High/Low ranges are automatically plotted once the middle value drops below 10.
A breakout/breakdown of purple candle at the range indicates a strong directional movement on either side.

PCP Arbitrage Monitor (Math by Thomas)Live monitor for Put–Call Parity (C + PV(K) = P + S) showing drift, arbitrage direction, and opportunity strength.
The PCP Arbitrage Monitor helps traders visualize and quantify deviations from the Put–Call Parity (PCP) relationship:
𝐶+𝐾𝑒−𝑟𝑇 = 𝑃+𝑆
When this equation drifts, it indicates a potential arbitrage opportunity between call, put, and underlying (spot or future).
This indicator plots the left-hand side (LHS) and right-hand side (RHS) of the PCP equation on your chart, computes the drift, and automatically highlights and displays actionable trade combinations when the deviation exceeds a set threshold.
⚙️ How It Works
Inputs
Call & Put Symbols – Select matching call and put options (same strike & expiry).
Strike (K) – The strike price for those options.
Expiry (UTC) – Option expiry date/time (used to calculate 𝑇 and PV(K)).
Risk-free Rate (r) – Annualized rate used for discounting the strike.
Lot Size / Tick Value – Used to calculate profit in INR.
Arbitrage Threshold – Minimum drift (in points) to trigger signals (default 200).
Displayed Data
LHS = C + PV(K) (Call + discounted Strike)
RHS = P + S (Put + Spot/Future)
Drift = LHS – RHS
Bookable Profit (INR)
Action Suggestion (only when |drift| ≥ threshold)
Background Highlight
🟩 Green – Call side expensive → Sell Call + Buy Put + Buy Fut
🟥 Red – Call side cheap → Buy Call + Sell Put + Sell Fut
Table
Displays all key values live in the top-right corner:
Option prices
LHS, RHS
Drift (points)
Time to expiry
Lot size
Bookable profit (INR)
Trade action (only if |drift| ≥ threshold)
📈 How to Use
Open a NIFTY Spot or Futures chart (works on both).
Enter the exact option symbols (e.g., NSE:NIFTY24DEC21900CE and NSE:NIFTY24DEC21900PE).
Adjust Strike (K) and Expiry to match those options.
Observe:
The green/red background highlights large deviations (≥ threshold).
The Action cell displays the arbitrage combination and expected profit.
A drift beyond the threshold suggests a potential risk-free arbitrage if executed simultaneously across all legs.
Hold positions till expiry if margin allows; the profit is theoretically locked in.
💡 Tips
Works on both Spot and Futures charts — the script auto-uses the chart’s close as 𝑆
Set smoothing to 0 to see raw parity values.
Adjust threshold based on costs and margin — e.g., 150–200 points for NIFTY is practical.
Only valid when options are European (no early exercise risk).
Ensure both option symbols are liquid and from the same expiry.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes.
Real arbitrage execution depends on liquidity, bid-ask spread, slippage, and margin requirements.
Always validate prices with your broker before trading.

Gamma Exposure Levels by OMG (Oh My Gamma)OMG (Oh My Gamma) - Daily GEX Levels
An operational framework for Gamma analysis with daily data.
Indicator's Purpose & Demo Data
This indicator plots key strategic levels derived from Gamma Exposure (GEX) analysis. It showcases the operational logic of OhMyGamma analytical engine.
IMPORTANT: The levels plotted by this public script are based on a past date's snapshot for demonstration purposes. They are not valid for live trading and will not update automatically.
The real edge comes from using the fresh data structure provided daily.
How to Read the Levels
This indicator is designed to provide actionable intelligence, not just data. Here's how to read it:
The Levels: Each line represents a key strategic zone (Zero Gamma, Call/Put Walls, etc.) where a market reaction is statistically probable due to dealer hedging flows.
Line Thickness = Strategic Importance: The thickness of each line directly corresponds to its strategic rating. Thicker, solid lines represent higher-conviction zones.
Labels & Tooltips: Hover over a level's label on your chart to see its full description, confluences, and strategic rating.
Pro Tip: The Power of Confluence
This indicator is not a standalone "system". It's an institutional-grade intelligence layer. Its predictive power increases exponentially when used to find confluence with your own analysis.
The highest-probability trades occur when a key Gamma level aligns with:
Price Action: Key support/resistance zones, order blocks, or liquidity pools.
Volumetric Indicators: High/Low Volume Nodes (HVN/LVN) from Volume Profile, VWAP, and Anchored VWAP.
Use these levels to confirm your setups and gain the conviction to act.

Options Max Pain Calculator [BackQuant]Options Max Pain Calculator
A visualization tool that models option expiry dynamics by calculating "max pain" levels, displaying synthetic open interest curves, gamma exposure profiles, and pin-risk zones to help identify where market makers have the least payout exposure.
What is Max Pain?
Max Pain is the theoretical expiration price where the total dollar value of outstanding options would be minimized. At this price level, option holders collectively experience maximum losses while option writers (typically market makers) have minimal payout obligations. This creates a natural gravitational pull as expiration approaches.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components:
Max Pain Line: Horizontal line showing the calculated minimum pain level
Strike Level Grid: Major support and resistance levels at key option strikes
Pin Zone: Highlighted area around max pain where price may gravitate
Pain Heatmap: Color-coded visualization showing pain distribution across prices
Gamma Exposure Profile: Bar chart displaying net gamma at each strike level
Real-time Dashboard: Summary statistics and risk metrics
Synthetic Market Modeling**
Since Pine Script cannot access live options data, the indicator creates realistic synthetic open interest distributions based on configurable market parameters including volume patterns, put/call ratios, and market maker positioning.
How It Works
Strike Generation:
The tool creates a grid of option strikes centered around the current price. You can control the range, density, and whether strikes snap to realistic market increments.
Open Interest Modeling:
Using your inputs for average volume, put/call ratios, and market maker behavior, the indicator generates synthetic open interest that mirrors real market dynamics:
Higher volume at-the-money with decay as strikes move further out
Adjustable put/call bias to reflect current market sentiment
Market maker inventory effects and typical short-gamma positioning
Weekly options boost for near-term expirations
Pain Calculation:
For each potential expiry price, the tool calculates total option payouts:
Call options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
Put options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
The strike with minimum total pain becomes the Max Pain level
Gamma Analysis:
Net gamma exposure is calculated at each strike using standard option pricing models, showing where hedging flows may be most intense. Positive gamma creates price support while negative gamma can amplify moves.
Key Settings
Basic Configuration:
Number of Strikes: Controls grid density (recommended: 15-25)
Days to Expiration: Time until option expiry
Strike Range: Price range around current level (recommended: 8-15%)
Strike Increment: Spacing between strikes
Market Parameters:
Average Daily Volume: Baseline for synthetic open interest
Put/Call Volume Ratio: Market sentiment bias (>1.0 = bearish, <1.0 = bullish) It does not work if set to 1.0
Implied Volatility: Current option volatility estimate
Market Maker Factors: Dealer positioning and hedging intensity
Display Options:
Model Complexity: Simple (line only), Standard (+ zones), Advanced (+ heatmap/gamma)
Visual Elements: Toggle individual components on/off
Theme: Dark/Light mode
Update Frequency: Real-time or daily calculation
Reading the Display
Dashboard Table (Top Right):

Color Bar: Pain heatmap (blue = high pain, red = low pain/max pain zones)
Horizontal Bars: Gamma exposure (green = positive, red = negative)
Yellow Dotted Line: Gamma flip level where hedging behavior changes
Trading Applications
Expiration Pinning:
When price is near max pain with limited time remaining, there's increased probability of gravitating toward that level as market makers hedge their positions.
Support and Resistance:
High open interest strikes often act as magnets, with max pain representing the strongest gravitational pull.
Volatility Expectations:
Above gamma flip: Expect dampened volatility (long gamma environment)
Below gamma flip: Expect amplified moves (short gamma environment)
Risk Assessment:
The pin risk indicator helps gauge likelihood of price manipulation near expiry, with HIGH risk suggesting potential range-bound action.
Best Practices
Setup Recommendations
Start with Model Complexity set to "Standard"
Use realistic strike ranges (8-12% for most assets)
Set put/call ratio based on current market sentiment
Adjust implied volatility to match current levels
Interpretation Guidelines:
Small distance to pain + short time = high pin probability
Large gamma bars indicate key hedging levels to monitor
Heatmap intensity shows strength of pain concentration
Multiple nearby strikes can create wider pin zones
Update Strategy:
Use "Daily" updates for cleaner visuals during trading hours
Switch to "Every Bar" for real-time analysis near expiration
Monitor changes in max pain level as new options activity emerges
Important Disclaimers
This is a modeling tool using synthetic data, not live market information. While the calculations are mathematically sound and the modeling realistic, actual market dynamics involve numerous factors not captured in any single indicator.
Max pain represents theoretical minimum payout levels and suggests where natural market forces may create gravitational pull, but it does not guarantee price movement or predict exact expiration levels. Market gaps, news events, and changing volatility can override these dynamics.
Use this tool as additional context for your analysis, not as a standalone trading signal. The synthetic nature of the data makes it most valuable for understanding market structure and potential zones of interest rather than precise price prediction.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses established option pricing principles with simplified implementations optimized for Pine Script performance. Gamma calculations use standard financial models while pain calculations follow the industry-standard definition of minimized option payouts.
All visual elements use fixed positioning to prevent movement when scrolling charts, and the tool includes performance optimizations to handle real-time calculation without timeout errors.
Implied Volatility RangeThe Implied Volatility Range is a forward-looking tool that transforms option market data into probability ranges for future prices. Based on the lognormal distribution of asset prices assumed in modern option pricing models, it converts the implied volatility curve into a volatility cone with dynamic labels that show the market’s expectations for the price distribution at a specific point in time. At the selected future date, it displays projected price levels and their percentage change from today’s close across 1, 2, and 3 standard deviation (σ) ranges:
1σ range = ~68.2% probability the price will remain within this range.
2σ range = ~95.4% probability the price will remain within this range.
3σ range = ~99.7% probability the price will remain within this range.
What makes this indicator especially useful is its ability to incorporate implied volatility skew. When only ATM IV (%) is entered, the indicator displays the standard Black–Scholes lognormal distribution. By adding High IV (%) and Low IV (%) values tied to strikes above and below the current price, the indicator interpolates between these inputs to approximate the implied volatility skew. This adjustment produces a market-implied probability distribution that indicates whether the option market is leaning bullish or bearish, based on the data entered in the menu:
ATM IV (%) = Implied volatility at the current spot price (at-the-money).
High IV (%) = Implied volatility at a strike above the current spot price.
High Strike = Strike price corresponding to the High IV input (OTM call).
Low IV (%) = Implied volatility at a strike below the current spot price.
Low Strike = Strike price corresponding to the Low IV input (OTM put).
Expiration (Day, Month, Year) = Option expiration date for the projection.
Once these inputs are entered, the indicator calculates implied probability ranges and, if both High IV and Low IV values are provided, adjusts for skew to approximate the option market’s distribution. If no implied volatility data is supplied, the indicator defaults to a lognormal distribution based on historical volatility, using past realized volatility over the same forward horizon. This keeps the tool functional even without implied volatility inputs, though in that case the output represents only an approximation of ATM IV, not the actual market view.
In summary, the Implied Volatility Range is a powerful tool that translates implied volatility inputs into a clear and practical estimate of the market’s expectations for future prices. It allows traders to visualize the probability of price ranges while also highlighting directional bias, a dimension often difficult to interpret from traditional implied volatility charts. It should be emphasized, however, that this tool reflects only the market’s expectations at a specific point in time, which may change as new information and trading activity reshape implied volatility.

### How Components Work Together
The indicator creates a comprehensive market analysis by combining:
- **EMAs** provide the trend structure framework
- **Oscillators** (RSI, Stochastic) identify optimal entry timing
- **ADX** confirms trend strength to filter weak signals
- **Volume** validates institutional participation
- **Higher timeframe** acts as a directional filter
Each component contributes points to either bullish or bearish scoring. Signals only generate when one direction significantly outweighs the other and meets minimum thresholds.
### Usage Instructions
1. **Select Mode**: Choose Normal/High/Ultra based on your trading style
2. **Monitor Dashboard**: Check real-time scoring and market conditions
3. **Wait for Signals**: Main BUY/SELL labels appear when criteria met
4. **Follow Targets**: Use automated TP and SL levels for risk management
5. **Candle Labels**: Optional CALL/PUT labels show building momentum
### Dashboard Information
The dashboard displays:
- Current trend direction and HTF confirmation
- ADX strength and direction
- RSI status with divergence detection
- MACD momentum state
- Volume multiplier
- Market condition (trending/ranging)
- Live scoring for both directions
### Important Notes
- This is a technical analysis tool, not financial advice
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Always use proper risk management
- Test thoroughly on demo before live trading
### Originality
This indicator's unique value comes from:
1. The 30-point weighted scoring system that prioritizes different factors
2. Integration of Fair Value Gaps with traditional indicators
3. Multi-mode operation allowing traders to adjust signal frequency
4. Higher timeframe validation system
5. Comprehensive filtering to reduce false signals
The combination creates a systematic approach to options trading that goes beyond simple indicator mashups by providing clear, scored reasoning for each signal.

Simulated OI Proxy with Trend Table1. In Simple Terms
This script mimics open interest analysis using price and volume changes.
It visually marks possible bullish and bearish setups directly on your price chart.
It’s especially useful for markets where real OI data is not available (like Indian stocks)
=======================================================================
2. Calculating Price and Volume Changes
close - close: Calculates the change in closing price from the previous bar to the current bar.
volume - volume: Calculates the change in trading volume from the previous bar to the current bar.
Purpose:
These calculations help determine if price and volume are increasing or decreasing, which is used as a proxy for open interest (OI) since real OI data may not be available.
===================================================================
3. Proxy Logic for OI Signals
long_buildup: Both price and volume are rising. This suggests new buying interest (bullish signal).
short_buildup: Price is falling but volume is rising. This suggests new short positions are being opened (bearish signal).
short_covering: Price is rising but volume is falling. This suggests shorts are closing their positions, causing a price rise (cautiously bullish).
long_unwinding: Both price and volume are falling. This suggests long positions are being closed (cautiously bearish).
====================================================================
4. Plotting the Signals
plotshape(condition, ...): Draws a shape on the chart when the condition is true.
Long Buildup: Green triangle below the bar (bullish).
Short Buildup: Red triangle above the bar (bearish).
Short Covering: Blue circle below the bar (cautiously bullish).
Long Unwinding: Orange circle above the bar (cautiously bearish).
======================================================================
5. Signal Detection:
The script checks price and volume changes to determine which signal is active.
Trend Assignment:
It assigns a text label and color for the detected trend.
Table Display:
A table appears at the top-right of your chart, showing the current trend based on the latest bar.
Options Volatility Strategy Analyzer [TradeDots]The Options Volatility Strategy Analyzer is a specialized tool designed to help traders assess market conditions through a detailed examination of historical volatility, market benchmarks, and percentile-based thresholds. By integrating multiple volatility metrics (including VIX and VIX9D) with color-coded regime detection, the script provides users with clear, actionable insights for selecting appropriate options strategies.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
1. Historical Volatility & Percentile Calculations
Annualized Historical Volatility (HV): The script automatically computes the asset’s historical volatility using log returns over a user-defined period. It then annualizes these values based on the chart’s timeframe, helping you understand the asset’s typical volatility profile.
Dynamic Percentile Ranks: To gauge where the current volatility level stands relative to past behavior, historical volatility values are compared against short, medium, and long lookback periods. Tracking these percentile ranks allows you to quickly see if volatility is high or low compared to historical norms.
2. Multi-Market Benchmark Comparison
VIX and VIX9D Integration: The script tracks market volatility through the VIX and VIX9D indices, comparing them to the asset’s historical volatility. This reveals whether the asset’s volatility is outpacing, lagging, or remaining in sync with broader market volatility conditions.
Market Context Analysis: A built-in term-structure check can detect market stress or relative calm by measuring how VIX compares to shorter-dated volatility (VIX9D). This helps you decide if the present environment is risk-prone or relatively stable.
3. Volatility Regime Detection
Color-Coded Background: The analyzer assigns a volatility regime (e.g., “High Asset Vol,” “Low Asset Vol,” “Outpacing Market,” etc.) based on current historical volatility percentile levels and asset vs. market ratios. A color-coded background highlights the regime, enabling traders to quickly interpret the market’s mood.
Alerts on Regime Changes & Spikes: Automated alerts warn you about any significant expansions or contractions in volatility, allowing you to react swiftly in changing conditions.
4. Strategy Forecast Table
Real-Time Strategy Suggestions: At the close of each bar, an on-chart table generates suggested options strategies (e.g., selling premium in high volatility or buying premium in low volatility). These suggestions provide a quick summary of potential tactics suited to the current regime.
Contextual Market Data: The table also displays key statistics, such as VIX levels, asset historical volatility percentile, or ratio comparisons, helping you confirm whether volatility conditions warrant more conservative or more aggressive strategies.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
1. Select Your Timeframe: The script supports multiple timeframes. For short-term trading, intraday charts often reveal faster shifts in volatility. For swing or position trading, daily or weekly charts may be more stable and produce fewer false signals.
2. Check the Volatility Regime: Observe the background color and on-chart labels to identify the current regime (e.g., “HIGH ASSET VOL,” “LOW VOL + LAGGING,” etc.).
3. Review the Forecast Table: The table suggests strategy ideas (e.g., iron condors, long straddles, ratio spreads) depending on whether volatility is elevated, subdued, or spiking. Use these as a starting point for designing trades that match your risk tolerance.
4. Combine with Additional Analysis: For optimal results, confirm signals with your broader trading plan, technical tools (moving averages, price action), and fundamental research. This script is most effective when viewed as one component in a comprehensive decision-making process.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Directional Neutrality: This indicator analyzes volatility environments but does not predict price direction (up/down). Traders must combine with directional analysis for complete strategy selection.
Late or Missed Signals: Since all calculations require a bar to close, sharp intrabar volatility moves may not appear in real-time.
False Positives in Choppy Markets: Rapid changes in percentile ranks or VIX movements can generate conflicting or premature regime shifts.
Data Sensitivity: Accuracy depends on the availability and stability of volatility data. Significant gaps or unusual market conditions may skew results.
Market Correlation Assumptions: The system assumes assets generally correlate with S&P 500 volatility patterns. May be less effective for:
Small-cap stocks with unique volatility drivers
International stocks with different market dynamics
Sector-specific events disconnected from broad market
Cryptocurrency-related assets with independent volatility patterns
RISK DISCLAIMER
Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Options strategies can result in significant losses, including the total loss of premium paid. The complexity of options strategies requires thorough understanding of the risks involved.
This indicator provides volatility analysis for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advice. Past volatility patterns do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions can change rapidly, and volatility regimes may shift without warning.
No trading system can guarantee profits, and all trading involves the risk of loss. The indicator's regime classifications and strategy suggestions should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes proper risk management, directional analysis, and consideration of broader market conditions.

Automatic Option Type Detection:
The script detects whether the option is a Call or a Put by parsing the input symbol for the characters "C" (Call) or "P" (Put).
Dynamic Strike Price Extraction:
The strike price is dynamically extracted from the input option symbol, eliminating the need for hardcoding and reducing user errors.
Key Metrics Plotted:
Time Value: The premium paid above the intrinsic value, plotted in blue.

It incorporates 15min delayed option chain data from ORATS as data provider, processes and refines the delayed data package using pineseed, and sends it to TradingView, visualizing the key GEX levels using specific formulas (see detailed below). This method of incorporating options data into a visualization framework is unique and entirely innovative on TradingView.
Unlike other providers that only set GEX levels at market open, this indicator adjusts dynamically throughout the day, providing updated insights across the trading day and capturing gamma shifts as the market moves.

🔶 Understanding GEX (Gamma Exposure) and Gamma Profiling
Gamma Exposure (GEX) is a crucial concept in options trading because it reveals how options market positions can influence the dynamics of asset prices. In essence, GEX measures the collective gamma exposure of options market participants, impacting overall market stability and price movements.
🔹 What is GEX?
At its core, GEX captures the aggregate impact of gamma, a key options Greek, which tells us how an option's delta changes in response to price movements in the underlying asset. Positive or negative GEX levels can reflect the collective bullish or bearish stance of the market:
Positive GEX (far above HVL) : Indicates a net bullish positioning by options holders. When GEX is strongly positive, it suggests that as the asset price increases, market participants might need to buy more of the asset to maintain their hedges. This behavior can fuel further upward momentum.
Negative GEX (far below HVL) : Implies a net bearish positioning. In a strongly negative GEX environment, declines in the asset's price might prompt participants to sell, potentially exacerbating the downward movement.
🔹 The Influence of GEX on Strike Prices and Expiration
A unique feature of GEX is its impact near expiration dates. As options approach expiration, GEX levels can “pin” the price to specific strike levels, where options positions are concentrated. This pinning effect arises as market makers adjust their hedging strategies, often causing the asset price to gravitate towards certain strike prices, where a large volume of options contracts sits.
🟨 Overview of our GEX Calculation Models for Options Traders 🟨
Our GEX indicator models were developed with serious options traders in mind, providing flexibility beyond typical GEX providers. We know that using GEX levels for multi-leg strategies, where the underlying doesn't need a strong trend to be profitable , calls for a nuanced approach that aligns with different trading horizons. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our GEX calculation models and how they support strategic trading across varying timeframes.
Thus, the HVL an orher CALL/PUT WALLS depends on the indicator's selected calculation mode and expiration. The NETGEX profile of the chosen expiration appears on the HVL line , which automatically updates five times during trading hours , except for 0DTE, which reflects the value set at market open.
🔶 Cumulative Expiration (⅀) Calculation Method
This method aggregates GEX data for all expirations up to the selected date , giving you a more comprehensive view of market dynamics. We recommend using this method, as it allows you to see how combined expirations impact GEX levels, which can be critical when setting up trades with a longer time horizon.
🔶 Selected Alone (⊙) Calculation Method
This option displays the GEX profile specific to only the chosen expiration , providing a unique, time-bound view. This approach is ideal for those seeking precise insight into how an individual expiration is performing without the broader context of other expirations.
🔶 Example of using calculation methods:
With options trading, especially for multi-leg strategies, choosing the right expiration and calculation model is crucial. Let’s break down an example:
Suppose you’re considering a Friday (4DTE) front-leg diagonal on the SPX at the start of the week. In this case, the focus isn’t strictly on any single expiration (like 0DTE or 4DTE individually), but rather on what might happen cumulatively by Friday across all expirations . Here, the Cumulative Expiration (⅀) model comes into play, as it shows you an aggregated view of the GEX profile, factoring in all strikes and legs for all expirations leading up to the selected date.
For most use cases, we recommend setting your indicator to the Cumulative (⅀) model , which provides a broad and insightful look at GEX levels across multiple expirations. However, you can always switch to Selected Alone (⊙) for targeted analysis of an individual expiration. Remember, 0DTE defaults to “Selected Alone”, and Every Expiry always shows a cumulative value by default.

🟦 HVL (High Volatility Level) 🟦
Also known as the Gamma FLIP level or Zero Gamma , it represents the price level at which the gamma environment transitions from positive to negative or vice versa. The High Volatility Level (HVL) is a critical point for understanding gamma shifts and anticipating volatility. This shift influences how market makers hedge their positions, potentially increasing or dampening market volatility.
🔷 Understanding the Gamma Flip and HVL
At its core, the gamma flip represents the point where market makers may transition from a net positive to a net negative gamma position, or the reverse. When prices move above HVL, gamma is positive, often leading to lower volatility due to the stabilizing effects of market makers’ hedging. Conversely, when prices drop below HVL, gamma flips negative, and hedging by market makers can amplify volatility as they trade with the direction of price movements.
The HVL (High Volatility Level) is particularly important as it signals a shift in the impact of price movements on the GEX profile. Using the cumulative calculation mode, GEX values are aggregated across all strikes and expirations up to the selected expiration, helping to pinpoint the point where the GEX curve's slope changes from negative to positive.
🔷 Implications for Traders and Market Makers
For market makers, crossing below HVL into a negative gamma zone means that they hedge in the same direction as price movements, potentially amplifying volatility. For traders, understanding HVL's role is essential to choosing strategies that align with the prevailing volatility regime:
Positive GEX 🟢:
Above HVL, where GEX is positive, market makers hedge by buying stocks as prices fall and selling as prices rise. This has a stabilizing effect, creating a lower-volatility environment.
Negative GEX 🔴:
Below HVL, where GEX is negative, market makers' hedging aligns with price movements, increasing volatility. Here, they buy as prices rise and sell as they fall, reinforcing price direction.
🔷 HVL as a Momentum and Volatility Indicator
The HVL offers traders insight into potential shifts in market momentum. For example, above HVL, if the price increases, Net GEX also rises, which stabilizes prices as market makers hedge in opposition to price direction. Below HVL, however, a price rise decreases Net GEX, creating conditions where market makers’ hedging amplifies price movements, resulting in a more volatile environment.
HVL also acts as a significant support level, often preceding put supports. If the price falls below this level, traders may expect heightened volatility and increased bearish sentiment.
Knowing the location of HVL is vital for positioning yourself on the right side of volatility. By monitoring the HVL, traders can better anticipate shifts in sentiment and align strategies with prevailing market dynamics.

🟩 Call Resistance and Call Wall Levels 🟩
In options trading, understanding GEX levels like Call Resistance and Call Wall levels is crucial for navigating potential price inflection points. Our indicator provides these levels directly on your chart, allowing you to customize and optimize your trading approach. Here’s a detailed guide to help you understand and use Call Resistance and additional Call Wall levels effectively.
🟢 Call Resistance Level
The Call Resistance Level is a key point where our model indicates heightened Call GEX concentration. This level serves as a potential resistance area where price movement may face a barrier, slowing or even reversing before a breakout. Here’s how the Call Resistance Level can influence market behavior:
Resistance and Price Reversal ⬇️ : Similar to the Put Support level, the Call Resistance acts as a "sticky" price level, where upward movement encounters resistance. When the price approaches this level, it’s common for market makers to begin shorting to maintain delta neutrality. This shorting activity, combined with the potential monetization of calls, introduces a technical bearish force in the short term, often causing the price to bounce downward.
Upside Acceleration Point ⬆️ : If investors reposition calls to higher strikes as the price reaches Call Resistance, this level can roll up, allowing the price to push upward and potentially accelerating the rally. This effect can drive the market to higher levels as market makers adjust their positions accordingly.
🟢 Additional Call Wall Levels
Our model identifies the second and third-highest Call GEX levels, known as additional Call Walls. These levels are often secondary resistance points but hold significance as they add layers of possible resistance or breakout points. They offer similar potential as the primary Call Resistance level, acting as either:
Resistance Zones: Slowing the price momentum as it approaches these levels.
Inflection Points for Upside Momentum: Allowing for a possible continuation of upward movement if prices break through.
🟢 How to Trade the Call Resistance Level
To use the Call Resistance level effectively, look for possible price rejections or consolidations as the price approaches this zone. Here are the main scenarios:
Bounce to Downside: As the price nears the Call Resistance level, market makers’ delta-hedging activity (through shorting) can turn this level into a short-term bearish force, leading to price pullbacks.
Rolling the Position: For bulls, a key objective at the Call Resistance level is to see investors roll their call positions higher, effectively moving the resistance up. This repositioning may lead to incremental price gains as the Call Resistance level rises with each roll.

🟥 Put Support and Put Wall Levels 🟥
In options trading, understanding GEX levels like Put Support and secondary Put Wall levels is essential for managing potential price support points and gauging downside risk. Our indicator places these levels directly on your chart, allowing for customization to enhance your trading strategy. Here’s a detailed guide to help you leverage the Put Support and additional Put Wall levels effectively.
🔴 Put Support Level
The Put Support Level is a key zone where our model shows the highest concentration of negative GEX, representing an area with substantial put option interest. This level functions as a potential support zone, where price may stabilize or bounce upward, or as an inflection point, signaling increased downside momentum. Here’s how the Put Support Level can affect market behavior:
Support and Price Reversal🔺 : Similar to how Call Resistance operates on the upside, the Put Support Level often acts as a "sticky" level on the downside, where price finds support. As the asset price moves closer to this level, market makers begin adjusting their positions, frequently buying to maintain delta neutrality. This activity can create a temporary short squeeze, pushing prices back up.
Downside Acceleration Point 🔻 : If the asset continues moving lower, triggering more hedging activity, this level can become a tipping point for accelerated downside momentum.
🔴 Additional Put Wall Levels
Our model also identifies the second and third-highest negative GEX levels, known as secondary Put Walls. These levels are often seen as secondary support points and hold significance by adding layers of support or potential downside inflection points. Like the primary Put Support Level, they can act in two ways:
Support Zones: Helping slow price declines as they approach these levels.
Downside Inflection Points: Allowing further price decline if the support fails.
🔴 How Investors Hedge with Put Options
Investors commonly use put options to hedge long positions and protect portfolios, especially during times of market stress when implied volatility rises. This demand for puts increases the Put Skew, as market makers short to remain delta hedged.
As prices approach the Put Support Level, the hedging activity often intensifies because more puts become At the Money (ATM) or In the Money (ITM). To realize the value of their hedges, investors typically monetize these puts at this level, triggering the closing of short positions by market makers and resulting in a price bounce.
🔴 The Role of Implied Volatility
Implied Volatility (IV) is also a critical factor since it directly influences market flows. If IV driving put flows decreases, market makers may buy back shorts, which contributes to the bounce at the Put Support Level. Additionally, another Greek, Vanna—representing changes in delta due to IV shifts—plays a vital role here. As IV changes, Vanna affects delta-hedging adjustments, adding a layer of complexity to understanding market makers' actions around these support levels.
🔴 Possible Price Scenarios at the Put Support Level
When the price reaches the Put Support Level, there are generally two scenarios:
Bounce to Upside🔺 : The Put Support Level is where substantial put hedging activity happens. As prices approach, market makers adjust their delta by buying, which can push prices back up.
Roll Positions🔻 : After monetizing puts, investors have two options: roll hedges to higher strikes if they expect a bullish move, or open new out-of-the-money puts at lower strikes. If new hedges are set at lower levels, the Put Support level may also shift lower, creating a new bearish force as market makers begin hedging these new positions.
🟨 Customizing Put Support/Call Resistance and Put/Call Wall Levels on Your Chart
Our indicator settings provide extensive customization options for displaying Put Support, Call Resistance, and Put/Call Wall levels.
You can:
adjust the depth to highlight the highest positive or negative NETGEX levels
choose to display relative data, show only the colored strike line
adjust the offset for enhanced visibility.
This flexibility helps you focus on the critical details that best align with your trading strategy, ensuring a clearer and more tailored view of the GEX levels on your chart.
Currently, we examine the top three levels with the highest positive and negative NETGEX values, allowing you to view seven key GEX levels on your chart (3 Call + 1 HVL + 3 Put). However, in the near future, we plan to expand this to seven levels per side, resulting in a total of up to 15 significant GEX levels on the chart instead of the current 7. This enhancement will cater to all needs, especially benefiting 0DTE traders.

🔶 ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT COMMENTS
🔹- Why is there a slight difference between the displayed data and other GEX provider's data like MenthorQ, GammaEdge, SpotGamma, GEXBot, etc?
There are two reasons for this, and one is beyond our control:
🔹 (1) Option-data update frequency:
According to TradingView's regulations and guidelines, we can update external data a maximum of 5 times per day. We strive to use these updates in the most optimal way:
(1st update) 15 minutes after U.S. market open
(2nd, 3rd, 4th updates) 1.5–3 hours during U.S. market open hours
(5th update) 10 minutes before U.S. market close.
You don’t need to refresh your window; our latest refreshed data pack is always automatically applied to your indicator. You can see the time elapsed since the last update by hovering over the HVL.
🔹 (2) GEX Levels with Intraday Updates Based on Price Movements
The TanukiTrade Options GEX Indicator for TradingView provides open interest data with a 15-minute delay after the market opens. Using this data, we calculate and update the relevant levels throughout the trading day, reflecting almost real-time price changes and gamma values. Unlike other GEX providers, who set their GEX levels solely at market open without further updates, we dynamically adjust our levels intraday to capture significant price shifts.
🔹 Automatic & Seamless Intraday Updates and Special Cases
For our indicator, the HVL (High Volatility Level) reflects the selected calculation mode and expiration. We update these NETGEX profiles five times throughout the trading day, with one exception: 0DTE data, which is set at market open and does not update intraday due to the rapid narrowing of gamma levels . Note that similar to other GEX providers, our 0DTE remains fixed at open, while cumulative values update during the day based on almost real-time market movements.
🔹Consistent SPX 0DTE GEX Levels with Morning Open Interest Updates Only
For SPX, the 0DTE (Zero Days to Expiration) options and GEX levels are calculated based on openinterest data provided by the clearinghouse at market open. Due to the exponential narrowing of gamma levels throughout the day, we do not update these levels intraday, unlike other expirations. Therefore, if you select the expiring contract on that day, you’ll see the exact morning level, as it was calculated at market open. This status is also published the previous evening, based on the data available then, so you can already view the levels for the following day’s 1DTE (next day’s 0DTE) before market close. After market open, around 15 minutes later, this level is updated with the latest open interest data and remains unchanged for the rest of the day. Other providers take a similar approach. We do not support intraday volume-based GEX calculations, as our benchmarks show this can produce misleading results.
Disclaimer:
Our option indicator uses approximately 15min-3 hour delayed option market snapshot data to calculate the main option metrics. Exact realtime option contract prices are never displayed; only derived GEX metrics are shown to ensure accurate and consistent visualization. Due to the above, this indicator can only be used for decision support; exclusive decisions cannot be made based on this indicator. We reserve the right to make errors.This indicator is designed for options traders who understand what they are doing. It assumes that they are familiar with options and can make well-informed, independent decisions. We work with paid delayed data and we are not a data provider; therefore, we do not bear any financial or other liability.
