GammaPulse
PROGamma & Exposure · WebSocket Streaming · Pro Tier
Overview
GammaPulse is the real-time dealer sentiment surface. It connects via WebSocket to stream live gamma exposure data and renders a composite view: bar chart showing call and put GEX by strike, overlaid with a net GEX line. The result is a continuously updating picture of aggregate dealer positioning.
Unlike HTTP-based windows that refresh on demand, GammaPulse updates with every tick from the server, making it ideal for intraday monitoring of gamma shifts and dealer flow changes as they happen.
Key Features
- Real-time WebSocket streaming: Connects to
wss://<host>/ws/gamma-compact/<symbol>with automatic reconnection — exponential backoff (3s base, 1.5× multiplier, 60s max, 10 retries). Auth-failure detection stops reconnection if your session expires. - Bar + Line composite chart: Call GEX and Put GEX render as bars, with Net GEX overlaid as a line. Instantly see both the components and the composite.
- 5 real-time metrics: Total Call GEX (M), Total Put GEX (M), Net GEX (M), Above Spot (M), Below Spot (M) — all displayed in metric cards above the chart.
- Connection status indicator: Live badge shows Live, Connecting, or Disconnected with color coding.
- Guide Panel: Four-section educational overlay — What is GammaPulse, Key Metrics, Trading Signals, and Pro Tips.
- AI-Generated Considerations: Analysis section presenting strategy considerations with directional analysis and analytical rationale based on the live gamma profile — delivered for your independent evaluation. Methodology →
Metrics Reference
| Metric | Formula | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Total Call GEX | Σ callGex / 10⁶ | Aggregate call-side dealer gamma. Positive = stabilizing force on rallies. |
| Total Put GEX | Σ putGex / 10⁶ | Put-side dealer gamma. Negative values = amplification on selloffs. |
| Net GEX | (Call + Put) / 10⁶ | Net dealer positioning. Positive = market stabilized. Negative = volatility regime. |
| Above Spot | Σ GEX for strikes > spot | Upside gamma. High values suggest resistance / ceiling. |
| Below Spot | Σ GEX for strikes < spot | Downside gamma. High values suggest support / floor. |
Use Cases
- Intraday gamma monitoring: Keep GammaPulse open alongside your trading screen. Watch for Net GEX sign changes — the shift from positive to negative (or back) signals a real-time regime transition.
- Scalping at gamma walls: When Above Spot GEX is significantly higher than Below Spot, expect price to gravitate upward toward the gamma wall. Scalp long with tight stops below spot.
- Vol trigger identification: A sudden spike in negative Net GEX during market hours indicates dealers shifting positioning — often a precursor to increased realized volatility within minutes.
