GEX tools only help if they change decisions. Look for clear regime framing, strike-level structure, and a path to the live options tape. Without that, GEX is a decorative chart.

Buying guide
- Ask how GEX is defined (customer long/short assumptions).
- Require strike-level structure, more than a single net number.
- Demand a path from GEX view to live options prints.
- Use GEX for volatility character; use flow for timing.
Frequently asked questions
- Is higher GEX always bullish?
- GEX frames hedging behavior (dampen vs amplify), not direction. See the gamma exposure glossary page.
