Run the wall-break floor vs accelerant recipe

What this recipe computes

• Call wall / put wall / net-GEX regime with the same convention-based formula as Gamma Structure Map.
• Distance from spot to the nearer wall, as a percent.
• A Floor label in positive GEX and an Accelerant label in negative GEX.

What it does not claim

• Floor does not mean the wall will hold. Accelerant does not mean a break is underway.
• GEX here is snapshot-era, not live dealer inventory or HIRO/TRACE.
• It does not replace flow at the wall on Option Trades.

How to read it

1. Step 1

   Run wall-break risk

   Open Wall Break Risk — Floor vs. Accelerant in Cookbooks.

2. Step 2

   Read accelerants first, then distance

   Negative-regime names near a wall are labeled accelerant. Positive-regime names are labeled floor. Distance is how close spot is, not a timer.

3. Step 3

   Confirm on the map and the tape

   Gamma Structure Map still has the strike profile. If you trade the level, inspect session flow. This table will not update tick-by-tick.

Frequently asked questions

Will a floor wall hold?

The recipe does not say. Floor means positive net GEX on the snapshot plus a nearby wall. Flow, expiry, and 0DTE can move both.

Is this live GEX?

No. Same T+1 / chain-snapshot convention as Gamma Structure Map. Live spot can sit on a wall that this table still treats as yesterday’s book.

Related glossary

• Call wallA call wall is the strike above spot with the densest call open interest or call-side gamma. Traders often treat it as resistance when dealers hedge.
• Put wallA put wall is the strike below spot with the densest put open interest or put-side gamma. Traders often treat it as support when dealers hedge.
• Gamma exposure (GEX)GEX estimates aggregate dealer gamma from listed options. Positive gamma tends to dampen moves; negative gamma tends to amplify them. Option gamma is the building block; extreme short-gamma feedback is covered under gamma squeeze.
• Dealer hedgingDealer hedging is market makers buying or selling the underlying to stay near delta-neutral as price and gamma change.

Related personas

• GEX and Option Flow for Index TradersIndex traders care about session character: where call/put walls sit, whether gamma is dampening or amplifying, and whether premium is chasing or fading the move.
• Options Flow for Day TradersDay traders need speed with a filter: see what is printing now, rank what is unusual, then validate structure before risking capital. TradingFlow is built for that same-session loop.
