Getting Started with GEXBoard
- Create your account via Google OAuth or magic link — takes under 60 seconds.
- Pick any of 30 supported tickers (Starter includes SPY, QQQ, NVDA and GLD; Pro/Trader unlock all).
- The dashboard shows GEX by strike, key levels (Call Wall, Put Wall, Zero Gamma), and the Dealer Regime badge.
- Green regime badge = Long Gamma (range-bound). Red = Short Gamma (volatile).
- The longest green bar = Call Wall (ceiling). The deepest red bar = Put Wall (floor).
Step 1 — Create Your Account
Go to gexboard.com and click Sign In. You have two options:
- Google OAuth (recommended): Click "Continue with Google", authorize the app, and you're in instantly. No passwords to manage.
- Magic Link: Enter your email address. A one-click login link is sent to your inbox — click it and you're logged in. No password required.
Both methods create a free account automatically. A free tier gives you access to the dashboard interface. To unlock live GEX data, a paid plan ($9/mo Starter or above) is required.
Step 2 — Choose Your Ticker
Once logged in and subscribed, you'll land on the main dashboard. At the top of the page you'll see the ticker selector. Click it to choose your underlying.
GEXBoard supports 27 tickers across three categories:
| Category | Tickers | Plans |
|---|---|---|
| ETF | SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA | SPY, QQQ: Starter+. IWM, DIA: Pro+ |
| Index | SPX, NDX, RUT, VIX | Pro and Trader |
| Stocks | NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, META, AMZN, MSFT, GOOGL, AMD, NFLX, COIN, MSTR, PLTR, and more | NVDA, GLD: Starter+. Others: Pro+ |
The Starter plan includes SPY, QQQ, NVDA and GLD. The Pro and Trader plans unlock all 30 tickers. If you select a ticker your plan doesn't cover, you'll see an upgrade prompt.
Step 3 — Read the Regime Bar
The Dealer Mode badge is the colored banner at the top of the dashboard. It's your single most important context signal before placing any trade.
| Badge | Color | Meaning | Market Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| LONG GAMMA | Green | Net GEX is positive. Dealers stabilize price. | Calm, range-bound. Favor mean reversion. |
| SHORT GAMMA | Red | Net GEX is negative. Dealers amplify moves. | Volatile, trending. Favor breakout strategies. |
Before you look at any technical pattern, check this badge. It tells you the mechanical behavior of the largest hedgers in the market. Strategy selection should change dramatically between regimes.
Step 4 — Identify the Key Levels
Four numbers are displayed prominently on the dashboard, updated throughout the session:
- Call Wall: The strike with the highest positive GEX. Acts as a structural ceiling — dealers sell heavily into rallies here.
- Put Wall: The strike with the most negative GEX. Acts as a structural floor — dealers buy dips aggressively near this level.
- Zero Gamma (Gamma Flip): The price where cumulative GEX crosses zero. Above it = Long Gamma regime. Below it = Short Gamma regime. The most important pivot on the chart.
- Current Spot: The live underlying price, shown relative to all three levels above.
Step 5 — Read the GEX Profile Chart
The central element of the GEXBoard dashboard is the GEX Profile — a horizontal bar chart showing gamma exposure at every strike.
- Green bars = positive GEX at that strike. Call-dominated. Dealers are long gamma here — they'll sell rallies and buy dips at these prices, creating resistance and support.
- Red bars = negative GEX at that strike. Put-dominated. Dealers are short gamma here — they amplify moves through these zones.
- The longest green bar = the Call Wall (the structural ceiling).
- The deepest red bar = the Put Wall (the structural floor).
- The vertical dashed line = current spot price overlaid on the gamma structure.
Read the chart top-to-bottom: where is current price relative to the major bars? Is price sandwiched between Call Wall and Put Wall (range-bound scenario), or is it pushing through a wall (breakout scenario)?
