Overview
VolCube is the Volatility Pressure Cube — it identifies the strikes with the highest gamma exposure magnitude and classifies them as support walls (put-dominated) or resistance walls (call-dominated). The top 10 walls are displayed as a ranked bar chart, updating in real-time via WebSocket.
Where a standard GEX chart shows gamma at every strike, VolCube filters to the most consequential levels — the ones where dealer hedging creates the strongest barriers to price movement.
Key Features
- Top 10 wall ranking: Sorts all strikes by |netGex| descending and displays the 10 most powerful gamma walls as bars.
- Support vs. resistance classification: Each wall is color-coded — green (support) for put-dominated walls below spot, red (resistance) for call-dominated walls above spot.
- Real-time streaming: Updates with every WebSocket tick, so wall rankings shift live as options data changes throughout the trading day.
- Key metrics: Top Wall Strike, Wall Type (support/resistance), and Total Walls count displayed as headline metrics.
- Guide Panel: Four-section educational overlay — What are GEX Walls, Reading the Chart, Trading with Walls, and Pro Tips.
- AI-Generated Considerations: ML-powered analytical considerations factoring in wall positions and the current gamma structure — delivered for your independent evaluation. Methodology →
How to Read the Chart
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Red bars (Resistance) | Call-dominated strikes above spot. Dealers hedge these by selling the underlying as price rises — creating a ceiling. |
| Green bars (Support) | Put-dominated strikes below spot. Dealers hedge by buying the underlying as price falls — creating a floor. |
| Bar length | Proportional to |netGex| at that strike. Longer bars = stronger wall = harder for price to breach. |
| Top Wall metric | The single strongest wall in the entire chain — your primary support or resistance level from gamma positioning. |
Use Cases
- Intraday range definition: The strongest support and resistance walls often define the day's trading range. Set limit orders or take-profit targets near the top-ranked walls.
- Breakout probability: When walls shift (a resistance wall weakens or disappears), it signals reduced overhead supply — potential breakout setup.
- Iron condor strike selection: Place short strikes at or near the top-ranked support and resistance walls, where dealer hedging provides a natural barrier.
