Trader Hub - GEX/DEX Console

Gamma profile by strike /chain/{s}

per-strike dealer-signed $GEX per 1% move: gamma * OI * mult * S^2 * 0.01 (calls -, puts +) - pulse greeks re-anchored to the live spot each poll. dashed = zero-gamma flip | gold = spot. Right of flip = dealer long (pin/suppress) | left = dealer short (accelerate). Pink zone = pin band.

Dealer delta exposure by strike /chain/{s}

per-strike $DEX: gamma * OI * mult * S. Calls green (dealer gamma-short hedging = buy above), puts red. Net tilt tells you which side of the book needs to chase price.

Intraday - net exposure vs spot (day profile) /chain/{s} live accumulation /bars

two views on the same axis: exposure - gold = 1m bars (true price path) | cyan = net GEX points captured live since console start | violet dashed = net DEX | o = regime flip (RTH-only by design: premarket chain pulses are sparse and gamma is stale, so the day profile accrues from the open). price + volume - 1m candles + volume strip; the 04:00-09:30 ET premarket tape gets its own shaded 30% block left of the 09:30 OPEN guide (55% opacity, real minutes - the gaps ARE the liquidity), RTH keeps 70%; dashed guides = flip / call+put wall / max OI, live forming candle ticks from the 5s spot poll in BOTH segments, full OHLC lands with each /bars refresh. the provider stores pulses, not derived exposure - consumers own the math; historical backfill available via /export.parquet for offline reload. v46 structure overlay (marketmagicians grammar, docs/RESEARCH-MARKETMAGICIANS.md): GEX ladder right = top 3 strikes per side of spot by |net $/1%| (C1/P1 carry the WALL tag - the walls ARE the ladder, not a second drawing); DEX ladder left = top 4 strikes; gap band = prior close to open (pre-open it rides live spot = indicative) with the 1/2 GAP fill magnet, collapsed into the flip label within 14px; HOD/LOD pinned at the bars that made them; red shaded window = High-impact macro print -10m/+5m ET (the G2 gate grammar, same FF rows the FUT tab gate enforces). Ladder magnitudes = OI skeleton (end-of-day stamped) x pulse-priced gamma: before 08:00 ET the chain snapshot is the prior close re-priced to live spot. Kill clause: if the ladder shows nothing the Key levels table doesn't after the graded sessions, it comes off. v54 gamma horizon lens (docs/PLAN-GAMMA-HORIZON.md): FRONT/WEEK/MONTH are cumulative DTE slices (0-2d / 0-7d / 0-37d) of the same fold - BS gamma already carries the 1/sqrt(T) hedge-urgency decay, so the lens is a subset, not a model: near-dated gamma is what dealers must hedge now. Ladders + the Key levels DEALER MAP follow the lens; Max OI stays structural (all); the verdict, the agent, alerts and meters never do - graded inputs frozen. Chips show live contract counts; an empty slice renders disabled (SPY has no 3-7d expiry - that emptiness is data). Lens sharpest 10:00-16:00 ET: premarket moves blow through levels, pre-0DTE-open the near book is thin by construction.

Call vs put volume delta meters /meters/{s}

per-pulse volume delta (aggressor proxy) - call green / put red. Session split drives the voldelta stat card.

Universe matrix /universe /symbols

cross-underlying confirm: SPX/SPY should agree; divergence = noise day. Futures lane = probe state: VERIFIED - multiplier published (F0), live context on the FUT tab; PROBE - awaiting first frames, contract size never guessed.

Key levels for today derives /chain

walls & flip come from the same strike table above - the daily game plan: fight the walls, respect the flip.

DEALER GAMMA PLAYBOOK what to do when, per strike color and side

C side, green (above spot): dealers SELL rallies here. Fade rips into the wall - it is a ceiling. Buy dips below, take profit at/under it. The pin day.

C side, red (above spot): dealers BUY rallies here - squeeze fuel. Ride clean breakouts through it, never fade; a cracked green wall with red above it cascades. Stop back under.

P side, green (below spot): dealers BUY dips here. Supports are defended - buy dips at the wall, sell rips into the C side. Never short into a green wall.

P side, red (below spot): dealers SELL dips here - support is fake. Don't catch the knife; breakdowns feed themselves. Cover shorts into green, not red.

mix 1 - C green + P green (spot above the flip) = PIN DAY

Range day. Fade edges, grind toward flip/walls, sell the rip/buy the dip. Rips above the wall get sold; dips get bought. Edge = patience at the edges. (This is the LONG-GAMMA - PIN banner.)

mix 2 - P red + spot below the flip = ACCELERATE DAY

Momentum. Trend-follow, never fade. Supports break fast; rallies into the flip get sold by hedgers. Shorts target the next red strike; stops ABOVE the flip. No dip-buying, no premium selling.

mix 3 - C red above + P green below = UPSIDE SKEW

Down damped, up amplified: dealers cushion dips and chase rips. Buy dips targeting squeeze extension through the red C strike. The floor is served, the ceiling is fuel.

mix 4 - C green above + P red below = DOWNSIDE SKEW

Rallies cap at the green wall, breakdowns snowball. Fade rips at the C wall, ride breaks of the red P strike, cover at the next green below.

discipline: the flip is the regime switch, not a level to fade - cross it and every rule inverts (the rules-2 plays: clean through = chase, touch = reject). size beats presence: a -486M red strike is a machine, a -12M blip is noise; rank 1 = the wall the day trades around. nearest strike trades you today, the far rank is tomorrow's magnet. red bar above the flip = one-strike pocket, a speed bump, not a regime. and the tape law: in a red P regime "target +80%" is the normal case, not the win case - size 1, stop stamped at entry, exit grammar obeyed.

READ THE PANELS one-liners, in panel order - the full math lives in each panel footer

what you see	what it means
gamma profile by strike	dealer-signed dollars of hedging flow per 1% spot move at each strike: gamma x OI x mult x S^2 x 0.01, re-anchored to live spot each poll. Green bars = long gamma (dampen), red = short (accelerate).
the flip (amber dashed)	zero-gamma line: above = dealer long (pin/suppress), below = dealer short (accelerate). The day's regime switch - the key magnet and the key risk line.
pink pin band	the zone around walls where pinning squeezes price; entries here mean-revert with a tight stop.
C1-C3 / P1-P3 / D1-D4 chips	the biggest strikes, ranked by dollar size: C = call side above spot, P = put side below, D = top dealer-DELTA strikes. Rank 1 = biggest; the exchange wall is force-promoted to 1 (the WALL tag).
the stiffs row	live micro-conditions, one chip each: skew (call/put IV skew level + trend: CALM -> FLATTERING = hedging demand building), decay (front-expiry theta burn: FALL), chop (the STAND-ASIDE gauge, slow state 0-100: delivery deficit vs EM, walled box, long-gamma regime, balanced flow, pin juice left - Hot >= 80 means stand aside, watch >= 60; FORMING = the base is building), absorb (are pulses of flow being eaten by the book: WARM-UP -> bid/ask absorption), ES INT (ES intraday lead vs SPY; NO ES FEED = probe-gated), pressure (buy-side vs sell-side balance, 0-100%).
consensus (EDGE PACK)	seven computed levers (GEX, delta tilt, flow, skew, OI moves, DEX, trend) vote one direction - the agent needs 4+/7 one-sided; the display tag shouts at 3. "warming-up" = levers have no data yet, ignore the verdict.
key levels	DEALER MAP = current option pulse: call wall / put wall / gamma flip with distance and short-side supply/demand. Walls = forced-flow concentrations (magnets + tripwires).
skew / delta meters	call vs put volume-delta meters: net flow in the tape right now; a -22K put print against a green book = fuel the dealers must absorb.
data quality tile	fill rate + pulse age + chain health. Under ~0.93 fill or a stale chain, treat every number as one poll behind and widen your respect for the walls.
the OPS tab	one row per endpoint judged by the age of its LAST SUCCESSFUL fetch (ok / stale / down). Silent death was the invisible failure mode - now every pipe is watched, and the session journal logs every verdict, flip and alert, ET-stamped, reload-proof.
provider event feed (v83)	the OPS feed mirroring the provider's own /events (last 25, future dates spelled +Nd): provider-side happenings in the provider's words, kind-generic. Feature-detected: on a pre-con.47 provider it 404s and the feed stays silent - no noise, no placeholder.
SLA lamps + BOOK calendar (v83)	when the provider ships /sla and /calendar, OPS grows one lamp per provider service tier (provider-reported freshness - grey = the PROVIDER says it is degraded, distinct from our fetch age) and BOOK grows the macro/expiry calendar the lane gates around. Both feature-detected, both hidden today.
the clock pill	(v72) desk time = console server time. A visible amber pill = this machine's OS clock runs N minutes off and the console is compensating; fix the OS clock, the pill disappears. Rows written before a v72 tab keep their skewed stamps forever (the tape is append-only).

READ THE BANNER + TILES the verdict row and the six tiles - the desk's one-paragraph market report

the banner is a thesis, not a signal: BASE CASE says what, PLAY says how, TRIGGER says when, INVALIDATION says you were wrong - in that order, every session.

banner field	how to use it
headline (LONG-GAMMA - PIN...)	the gamma regime + the structure the desk sees (PIN / MOTION / CHAIN DOWN = suppress / accelerate / regime break). Read the playbook section for what each regime means to do.
confidence bar	agreement between the live signals behind the verdict. Low bar = the tape is split: halve your conviction, not your stop.
BASE CASE	the one expected path (e.g. "mean-reversion toward 750.69"). If your trade needs a different story, it is not the desk's trade.
PLAY	the expression of the base case (e.g. "buy dips into the 750 wall zone"). The entry idea, in one sentence.
TRIGGER	what CONFIRMS the case (e.g. "sustained trade above 750.09") - the door you walk through, not a hope.
INVALIDATION	what KILLS the case (e.g. "losing 750 flips the bounce"). This is your stop's source of truth - the field traders skip and shouldn't.
"premarket - plan only" stamp	before the open the banner is a PLAN: premarket chains are sparse and stale. Price opens INTO the band; the plan graduates to a signal in session.

the six tiles	what it means
NET GEX $/%	the whole book's hedging dollars per 1% spot move, signed (green = dealer long). "flip 750.09 \| -0.2% away" = the zero-gamma price and how close spot sits - the day's gravity line.
NET DEX	dealer DELTA exposure: dollars dealers must buy/sell per point of spot ("dealer delta tilt"). DEX is flow-now; GEX is the regime behind it. The DEALER DELTA EXPOSURE panel carries the same gold spot line as the gamma panel at the same height - read which side of spot needs to chase.
SESSION VOLDELTA	the session's net volume delta (+ C/P ratio): who is being bought, calls or puts. A big put number against a green book = fuel dealers must absorb.
SPOT	live price + pulse health: "t+ 8s" (age of the last update), pulse id, and EM +/- pts (front Nd) = the expected move options are pricing for the next session. The map HH:MM +pts (x.xx EM) line is the drift meter: how far the live tape moved from the price the gamma map drew at, in DAY-EM units - amber past 0.35 EM, red past 0.7 EM is staleness you should refuse to trade against.
REGIME	gamma regime + the pin zone (e.g. "pin 750-750"): the band where price tends to get ground down into the close.
DATA QUALITY	fill rate of requested pulses (0.98 = healthy; under ~0.93 widen respect for the walls), ctrs (contracts in the chain), pulse age, and "partial truncated" = the chain payload was clipped - strikes beyond the cut are invisible, treat the profile as one notch less sure.

session phases (top right: "ET session | closes in 6h 2m"): premarket = plan only; auction/opens = the plan meets the tape; ET session = lanes trade their windows (09:50-15:30, flat-by 15:45); late session = no fresh entries (G2 for the desk's own clock). the bucket lens (strike panels): ALL = every expiry folded (default); 0DTE = the book that ACTS TODAY - today's walls, today's hedging; WEEK/MONTH = the slower background. Guides and stats stay all-expiry; the lens colors the profile. the intraday chart's margins: gap band +1/2 (half the opening gap = first magnet), HOD/LOD +/- (day's extremes + mirror), vol max (volume profile ceiling), the amber macro bands (High-impact prints - G2 keeps the lane flat around them), the D1-D4 ladder (top dealer-delta strikes), and the EM envelope: grey-blue bands at open +/-1 EM (the normal day) and +/-2 EM (the extension edge), anchored once per day from the open with the yardstick printed in the panel header - walls inside the band are today's play, walls past 2 EM are structural, not a normal-day target.

EDGE PACK DECODED the seven levers, the five sniffers, and the voting law

the voting law: consensus = seven levers computed on THIS page (no new math). The agent trades only at 4+/7 one-sided with <=1 against, counting only levers with live data; the display tag shouts at 3; "warming-up" levers don't vote. 3/7 = an opinion, 4+/7 = a position.

lever	what it measures / when it votes
FLOW	session net volume delta: call volume minus put volume (the tape's aggression). Votes at a 1.15x+ ratio one side.
ITM	the deep strikes (delta buckets 2+3): who is paying for REAL money commitment. Votes at a 1.15x+ call/put ratio - one-sided ITM is conviction, OTM is lottery noise.
OI ROLL	today's roll: strikes with open interest rolling IN (positions being built) and OUT. New positioning, not yesterday's map.
CONFIRM	multi-day agreement: do yesterday's closes lean the same way? Votes on overlap; the tape's memory.
SKEW	call/put IV level + velocity: rising call skew = chase demand paying up for upside; put skew rising = insurance demand. Level + speed, one number.
VANNA	vol-linked delta: where a vol move would force dealers to buy/sell. Votes at >8% book lean - the flow a vol event creates.
CHARM	delta decaying into expiry: as time burns, hedge delta must be re-traded - votes at >8% lean. This is the late-session flow that pins (or breaks) levels into the close.

sniffer (EDGE PACK panel)	what it means / what makes it fire
session type classifier	today's day-shape read from two days of 1m bars: trend vs range vs V - the envelope your entries live in.
pin decay clock	how much theta burn the front expiry has eaten (DECAY % on the stiffs row): the deeper the burn, the more charm/pin flows dominate late.
skew - level & velocity	the SKEW lever's home: level (where IV skew sits) + velocity (where it's going) - CALM -> FLATTERING = hedging demand building under the tape.
absorption detector	is aggressive flow being EATEN quietly by passive size (score x/4; at 3+ it names the side: "bid absorption" = someone big is soaking sells = fuel). quiet = nobody absorbing = moves travel.
ES lead / lag tint	does the ES future lead SPY (the tail, not the dog): ES TINT up/down = the leveraged tape leaning that way; NO ES FEED = probe-gated, ignore.
tape pressure	buy-side vs sell-side aggression (PRESSURE %, 0-100): which side of the book is hitting. "split-side SELL-SIDE 57%" = sellers winning the tape right now.

flow panels	what they show
cumulative voldelta vs price	the session's net delta accumulation plotted on price - divergence (price up, flow down) is the tell.
flow by delta bucket	volume delta split by moneyness buckets: lottery-ticket flow vs real-money flow, separated.
flow tape	the top voldelta strikes right now: the specific contracts the tape is fighting over.
OI movers	today's roll table: strikes gaining/losing open interest - positions being built and closed.
expiration map	where the OI lives by expiry - which date's walls are load-bearing (the bucket lens reads this).

one honest limit: every lever on this page comes from the SAME chain pulses and meters - they are correlated views of one feed, not seven independent witnesses. That is exactly why the desk demands 4+/7: breadth of agreement inside one data source is the only honesty available.

THE LANE how the agent grades itself, and what every stamp means

concept	meaning
OFF / SHADOW / LIVE	OFF = nothing runs. SHADOW = gates fire and journal, nothing books. LIVE = fills book to the LOCAL paper ledger (server-owned cash, caps, day stop, kill switch). The provider is read-only - orders are never sent anywhere, ever.
lanes + cfg epoch	every lane is a config; its hash (e.g. cfg f1737f) stamps EVERY row it writes. Rows from two lanes never mix in the pairing math. The armed lane shows "armed"; racers show their tag. Epoch cuts are user-approved and machine-written: boot journals a cut marker (OPS + tape), grading SPLITS at that line, and the LIVE arming clock restarts in the new epoch (v85: efb452 -> f1737f).
exit grammar stamped AT entry	stop % / target % / flat-at / BE-arm % / trail % are frozen into the entry row. The exit obeys the numbers that got it in, never a cfg that changed mid-flight - legs opened before an epoch cut keep their old static grammar. The ratchet (v85): once the observed peak reaches entry + BE-arm %, the stop steps to entry (premium breakeven), then trails the peak at -trail %, FLOORED at entry; BE arm 0 = off. Check order: expiry intrinsic > stop (BE/trail/static) > target > flat.
stacked legs pair FIFO (v82)	an EXIT closes the OLDEST open ENTRY on that exact contract; each stacked leg faces its own stamped grammar. Cross-day: a leg entered yesterday is visible today, and yesterday's expired 0DTE ghosts settle at intrinsic on the first pulse carrying spot - "expiry settled at intrinsic" rows are books balancing, not bugs.
mfe / mae on every close (v84)	the close line carries the leg's excursion record: mfe = best premium % seen, mae = worst, plus peak spot, marks watched (n) and coverage (cov = fraction of the leg's life the tab was watching - a page reload lowers it; honest, not an error). Pure record: no exit reads it. Friday's audit does - "did the losers go green first?"
one number per alert	every alert strip row carries the single figure that fired it. No stacked claims - if it can't be one number, it isn't an alert.
G2 macro blackout	no entries 10 min before / 5 min after a High-impact print (FF feed). With no feed, MACRO-SILENCE holds 09:45-15:45 ET. The doorbell rings when the window opens (v69).
entry window + flat-by	entries 09:50-15:30 ET, flat-by 15:45 - the lane never carries a short-gamma overnight on a heuristic.
the kill clause	LIVE unlock is math, not enthusiasm: >= 20 shadow closes with net > 0 (per lane, counted in the CURRENT cfg epoch only). The record tile counts it down; zero closes is its own verdict.
tape vs localStorage	the server tape (JSONL, append-only) is the durable record. localStorage is the lane cache - if it fills, the console prunes old days and self-heals (v72), and the trade log tiles warn; the tape never stops.
trade log scopes	BOOK tab: today / 7d / all fold across ET days (cross-day legs pair once, day-tagged); LIVE FILLS lands there the day the lane arms; export trades = the Friday CSV (shadow + live).

DESK RULES the non-negotiables, from the house

rule	why it exists
signals out, orders never	the console is a read-only consumer of the provider. The paper ledger is console-local; the provider never sees it. The machine that books fills is the machine that grades the desk.
defaults are the contract	settings can TIGHTEN any time; changing the contract itself needs explicit owner approval and takes effect as a new epoch - the hash changes, boot journals the cut on the tape, grading splits at the cut, the arming clock restarts. Loosening by stealth is impossible; loosening by decision is visible forever (v85 added the BE ratchet exactly this way).
no ungrounded math	every number cites its source feed; heuristic features ship with kill clauses; plan-only surfaces are labeled and never trade (premarket, YM, probe-gated feeds).
one lane, one account, qty 1	LIVE is single-account, qty 1, one leg. The graded week decides; the record, not the mood, arms.
unattended = tab open	the lane runs in the browser. If the tab closes, the flat-by cannot fire. Unattended trading contract: the tab stays open through 15:45 ET.
the tape is forever	append-only, no deletes, no UI reset. A desk that can erase its own record grades itself dishonestly.

Friday grading: read the record (closes vs the 20, net, wins, per-root) and the tape tail; the verdict arms LIVE on Monday or it does not. Closes count inside the CURRENT cfg epoch only - a mid-week contract change splits the record by design. Either outcome is the system working.
