WebApp best practices

Choose the expiration and calculation mode for your analysis, locate price within the gamma profile, then check the data timestamps. Use the routines below to keep those checks consistent.

Match the view to your horizon

Choose the expiration separately from the candle interval. Standalone isolates one expiration; Cumulative combines the expirations included in the selected scope.

01 / Same day

0DTE

Expiration and mode
Select 0 in Standalone mode, with Key Only enabled, to isolate today's expiration.
Views and metrics
Use GEX Live Chart with 1m–15m candles, or GEX Live Table. The Default 0DTE Pinfinder column preset combines Net DEX, Abs GEX, and Net Volume.
Expected move
Compare the EOD, PRE, and OPEN snapshots in Expected Move Box.
02 / Multiple sessions

Weekly

Expiration and mode
Compare W1 or W2 in Standalone and Cumulative modes. Check the actual expiration date and DTE.
Views and metrics
Compare Net GEX, Net DEX, and Net OI with 15m–1H candles. Check where a single expiration's walls align with the cumulative profile.
Expected move
Read Smart EM Range toward the selected expiration in Adaptive Expected Move.
03 / Longer horizons

Monthly and events

Expiration and mode
Inspect Cumulative through M1 or M2, and compare expirations in GEX Matrix.
Views and metrics
Compare IVx and horizontal skew in the Matrix. The Swing Trader column preset combines Net Volume, Net OI, and Detailed OI; use 4H or 1D candles for a broader price view.
Expected move
Compare Smart with the Advanced methods: Binary Expected Move (BEM), delta distance, and one standard deviation. Check the earnings expiration.

For scope rules, column presets, and metric definitions, see Expirations, Expiry selection, Column Presets (Ctrl+L), and Column metrics.

Check the cumulative scope. On a later expiration row, it includes expirations from the next session through that date, excluding today. On today's row, it covers today only. See Standalone and cumulative.

Read levels, zones, and visibility

Four checks before reading GEX Live A schematic WebApp workflow with four checks: confirm symbol, expiration, and cumulative versus standalone mode; locate spot relative to HVL, C1, P1, and gamma zones; check the Level Status panel when a secondary level is not visible; keep minute analytics refresh separate from real-time spot streaming.

Location

Locate price within the profile

Start with HVL, C1, P1, and the cT / pT transition boundaries. Identify whether price is in a positive, transition, negative, or extension zone.

Read about HVL & walls · Understand the zones & states

Zone display

Confirm zone settings

Open GEX Level & Chart Settings with Ctrl+M and check the zone-coloring switches. Zone shading also depends on an ordered, complete profile; an incomplete or unordered profile can leave the shading off.

See GEX Live Chart for the zone controls.

Level visibility

Check why a level is missing

Relative Size Filtering controls secondary levels. The starting slider value is 15%; the Balanced preset sets 19%. C1, P1, and HVL are not removed by this filter.

Open Level Status beside the settings gear and read the status label:

VisibleOff-screenFilteredDisabled

A level may be outside the visible price range, below the threshold, or switched off. See GEX Live Table for the status examples.

Level detail

Open Level Analysis

Select a level label on the Chart or Table to inspect its definition, distance from spot, and zone context. Check whether other labels share that strike: for example, Ab1, POI, and D−.

Read the measures behind the labels before treating several labels at one price as separate evidence.

Keep the two update clocks separate

Options analytics

About once a minute

GEX, DEX, levels, and expected-move analytics refresh from 6:40 AM to 4:00 PM ET on weekdays.

Check Last Refresh in the header when comparing snapshots.

Spot price

Real-time streaming

Spot prices stream separately in real time while the live feed is available.

Read the chart's price badge. A changing price does not mean the options analytics refreshed at the same instant.

Instrument check

Match the symbol before comparing levels

SPX and SPY have separate options chains. For mapped futures, open the intended futures symbol so the levels use its price scale:

/ES1 ← SPX/NQ1 ← QQQ/RTY1 ← IWM

See Symbols and futures for the mappings.

Need the snapshot in TradingView? PRO indicators receive about five scheduled weekday updates. Use Copy levels to TradingView to paste a newer compatible snapshot into GEX Profile PRO. The indicator uses the newer matching data. See Update schedule and Manual Override.

Build a repeatable review routine

Expected move

Read the anchor and the range width

EOD uses the previous close, PRE the 6:30 AM ET premarket price, and OPEN the 9:30 AM ET cash-open price. Their boundaries can differ because both the anchor and range width can change between snapshots.

Compare both inputs in Expected Move Box. The boundaries provide context, not price targets.

Options Screener

Filter, compare, then inspect

Set the volatility, earnings, liquidity, and price criteria for your comparison. Built-in filters such as Pos Gamma Extension, IV Skew Edge, and Earnings Rising IV combine criteria; check their active labels.

Compare the matching rows, then open a symbol in GEX Live to inspect its strike profile. A matching row is a data result, not a trade recommendation. See Options Screener.

GEX History/Replay

Review a saved moment in context

Confirm the historical date, time, symbol, and expiration. Read how walls and HVL changed between saved snapshots. On the Chart, Future shows the later recorded price path in gray.

Turn Future off to inspect the selected moment first. Choose Live and confirm when you want to leave Replay. See GEX History/Replay.
