Three time boxes

Open, 9:30 to 10:30 ET

SPX is below the Flip Line at 7,589.11 in this read. Levels as of Fri Nov 6, 8:15 AM ET, spot as of Fri Nov 6, 4:04 PM ET.

Opening hedge flow depends on the sign of modeled dealer gamma at the open. Above the Flip Line, hedging tends to lean against moves; below it, hedging tends to add to them.

Midday, 10:30 ET to 2:00 PM ET

SPX is below the Swing Line at 7,650.1 in this read. Levels as of Fri Nov 6, 8:15 AM ET, spot as of Fri Nov 6, 4:04 PM ET.

Charm and vanna decay shift dealer hedge flow as the day passes, so the gamma structure drifts through the middle of the session.

Close, 2:00 to 4:00 PM ET

SPX: Pin Zone strikes and the walls are the levels with the most modeled gamma left into the close. Levels as of Fri Nov 6, 8:15 AM ET, spot as of Fri Nov 6, 4:04 PM ET.

Dealer hedge flow from charm typically grows into the afternoon, and the remaining gamma concentrates near the largest strikes.

How to read the levels

  • Flip Line: the spot level where modeled net dealer gamma changes sign.
  • Swing Line: the lowest strike between the put wall and the call wall where modeled net dealer gamma is positive.
  • Walls and nodes: strikes with the most modeled gamma on one side. Two methods can sit at different strikes because they differ in the open interest basis, the expiry set or the sign convention.
  • Pin Zone: the strike with the most pin weight within 5 percent of spot; a range is shown only when the leading strikes sit next to each other.
