Options Greeks Exposure (modeled)
A modeled estimate of the options exposure dealers carry across 113 major underlyings, greek by greek: gamma (GEX) with the zero-gamma flip level and the by-strike profile, dollar delta (DEX), vega and vanna (VEX), charm (CEX), and the volatility structure behind them. Everything is computed from end-of-day open interest and implied volatility under a standard assumption about dealer positioning, so it is an estimate, not observed dealer data. Read it as positioning context (where hedging flows cluster, and whether they tend to dampen or amplify moves), not as a forecast or a trade signal.
As of end of day 2026-09-22 (1 days ago) / Modeled from end-of-day exchange-published options chains
SPY modeled dealer gamma exposure was positive at the 2026-09-22 close: net GEX of $4.61Bn in dollar gamma per 1% move (net long gamma), with the zero-gamma flip level at 770.42 and spot at 773.38.

Modeling assumptions (read before using)
This is a MODELED estimate, not a disclosed dealer position. It rests on assumptions that may not hold; we state them so the numbers are read for what they are:
- Dealer sign assumption (the core one). We assume dealers are net long the call side and short the put side of open interest. The net figures subtract the put leg accordingly, except delta (DEX), where the two signed legs are added, because put delta is already negative. Actual dealer inventory is not disclosed, so this is inferred, not observed. If it is wrong for a name, that name's sign can flip.
- Open interest as a positioning proxy. Open interest counts every holder, not the dealer net, so it only approximates dealer inventory.
- Prior-day open interest. Exchanges publish open interest once per day, so each snapshot reads the prior session's open interest against the day's closing prices.
- Inputs. Black-Scholes greeks from end-of-day open interest and implied volatility from end-of-day market data, using spot (not forward) and the 3-month T-bill as the rate. Wide or stale end-of-day quotes distort every greek here.
- Static snapshot. The profiles hold open interest and implied volatility fixed; real hedging is path dependent and changes intraday.
- Universe. 113 large-cap and ETF underlyings, selected on options liquidity. A name outside this set is absent by design, not a data failure.
- Cadence. One snapshot per trading day, computed after the close. Nothing on this page updates intraday.

Kresmion models net dealer gamma exposure as Black-Scholes gamma times open interest, signed by the standard dealer long-call and short-put assumption, with the zero-gamma flip level and the by-strike profile; it is a modeled estimate, not observed dealer positions.
