RegimeShift
PROStrategy & Intelligence · WebSocket Streaming · Pro Tier
Overview
RegimeShift detects the current market regime — Positive Gamma or Negative Gamma — from the live gamma data stream, along with a confidence percentage. This is the single most important classification for options-informed trading: the gamma regime determines whether price behavior is mean-reverting (positive) or trending (negative).
The confidence score measures how asymmetrically distributed the gamma exposure is above vs. below the spot price. High confidence = clear regime. Low confidence = ambiguous, transitional state.
Key Features
- Regime classification: Classifies the current environment as "Positive Gamma" (stabilizing, mean-reverting) or "Negative Gamma" (destabilizing, trending) based on net GEX sign.
- Confidence metric: Calculated as |above − below| / (above + below + 1) using the GEX distribution data. Ranges from 0% (balanced, ambiguous) to near 100% (highly asymmetric, clear regime).
- Real-time WebSocket streaming: Regime and confidence update with every tick. Watch for regime flips — the transition from positive to negative is one of the most powerful intraday signals.
- Metric card display: Two prominent cards — Regime (color-coded) and Confidence (%).
- Guide Panel: Four-section overlay — What is RegimeShift, Regime Characteristics, Trading Strategies, and Pro Tips.
- AI-Generated Considerations: ML-powered strategy considerations tailored to the current regime and confidence level — delivered for your independent evaluation. Methodology →
Metrics Reference
| Regime | Price Behavior | Strategy Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Positive Gamma | Mean-reverting. Dealers buy dips, sell rallies. Price compresses toward gamma walls. | Historically associated with range-bound behavior. Premium-selling and iron condor strategies are commonly considered in this regime. |
| Negative Gamma | Trending. Dealers amplify moves. Price dislocates from strikes. | Historically associated with trending behavior. Momentum-following and long straddle strategies are commonly considered in this regime. |
Use Cases
- Strategy mode switching: The most fundamental application — in positive gamma, premium-selling and mean-reversion strategies are commonly considered. In negative gamma, long-volatility and trend-following strategies are commonly considered. RegimeShift shows you the current regime classification to incorporate into your own analysis.
- Position size calibration: Scale with confidence. High-confidence positive gamma = full-size premium selling. Low-confidence = reduce exposure and wait for clarity.
- Regime transition trading: The moment RegimeShift flips from Positive to Negative, expect a volatility expansion. This is the signal for straddle or strangle entries.
