Trading the Gamma Flip Level

The gamma flip is the single most useful level on a GEX profile: the price where net dealer gamma changes sign. Cross it, and the hedge reaction function flips with you (or against you).

Setup anatomy

• Spot above flip, long-gamma regime: fades toward walls often work better than breakout chases.
• Spot below flip, short-gamma regime: momentum and squeeze dynamics get dealer fuel.
• Pin risk near large walls: expiration gravity can dominate discretionary conviction.

A simple rehearsal checklist

1. Mark flip / call wall / put wall before the open.
2. Define invalidation (e.g. reclaim of flip after a short-gamma breakdown).
3. Paper-trade the reaction — not the prediction — for a week.
