Market Net Flow
Market Net Flow is a summary of all calls and puts in the market, excluding indices and a few other tickers. Adding indices to the backtest degraded performance, so it's best to focus on the core data. The net flow shows the strength of the move, with gray indicating a contrary move. The green line shows calls, while the red line shows puts. Convergence is a powerful filter and is usually left as the only filter enabled.
ODT Flow
ODT Flow is a tool that helps identify trend changes. Large circles rapidly forming indicate a trend change. The color of the circle is not important, only the size and rapid formation. The ODT flow can be used for SPY, QQQ, or other tickers.
Zod Day Gex
Zod Day Gex is a tool that shows the buy time and strike levels for the day. Strike levels are the overall aggregate for the day and can move and shift slightly. Change is a new feature that shows what is changing in real-time. Red levels are magnets that attract each other, while green levels are magnets that oppose each other. Change can be used in combination with strike to identify strong levels of resistance or support.
Market Decks
Market Decks is a tool that shows the daily gauge of market activity. A red deck bar indicates a potential shorting opportunity, while a green bar indicates a potential buying opportunity. The Market Decks can be used as a daily gauge to inform trading decisions.
Flow Map
Flow Map is a version of the live flow that shows a longer-term view of market activity. The flow map can be used to identify trends and patterns in market activity. The longer-term dates on the flow map can provide insight into potential future market movements.
Options Market Analysis
Options Market Analysis is a tool that helps analyze the flow of options trading activity. The flow map is used to analyze the flow of options trading activity, with the left side representing calls and the right side representing puts. In the example provided, the flow map is showing a bearish sentiment with call selling and put buying for the next Friday's expiry. The net flow has been fairly flat for a portion of the day, with calls and puts being somewhat equal. The dealers diary (DMD) is a simple tool used to analyze the potential for an end-of-day run-up or draw-down. The DMD is color-coded, with red indicating a potential end-of-day draw-down and green indicating a potential end-of-day run-up. The DMD is most effective on Fridays and Opex days.
Sector Flow
Sector Flow is a tool that helps analyze the flow of options trading activity by sector. In the example provided, the tech sector is getting hit hard, while the energy sector is losing some steam. The weekly sector inflow shows the net flow of options trading activity by sector over the past week.
Flow Line
Flow Line is a tool that helps analyze the net flow of options trading activity by time decay (DTE). The flow line can be filtered by different timeframes, such as 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day. The flow line can also be used to analyze the flow of options trading activity by ticker symbol.
Green and Red Time Frame Continuity
Green and Red Time Frame Continuity is a tool that helps analyze the consistency of the net flow of options trading activity across different timeframes. The goal is to find convergence and time frame continuity to identify strong directional plays.
Flash
Flash is a tool that helps analyze the flow of options trading activity by looking for divergences in the market. The tool can be filtered by different parameters, such as minimum price and optionable.
Live Flow
Live Flow is a tool that helps analyze the real-time flow of options trading activity. The tool can be filtered by different parameters, such as volume and open interest. The author of the video uses a custom filter to clear out the chart and focus on the most active options contracts.
Spy Stock Dashboard
Spy Stock Dashboard is a tool that helps analyze the seasonality of the options market and the options Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, and vega). The tool can be used to identify trends and patterns in the options market.
Customizing Your Trading View Chart
To create a custom Trading View chart, follow this guide and copy the information into your Pine Editor. Select all the text before pasting it into the editor to avoid errors. The guide will give you a trady indicator that you can install on your chart. The script is set up for simplicity, using gray and purple colors for the levels. The script also includes the signature prints, which can be found in the Dark Pool section of the platform. The Dark Pool levels are important to the daily routine, and can be drawn manually on the chart. To get the Dark Pool levels, type "spy" in the Dark Pool section and select the second option. The levels will show up as gray lines on the chart. The script also includes the Aggregates, which are important points of contention. To get the Aggregates, use the Discord bot ping to pull up the TR Dash DP levels and spy. Manual drawing of the levels is recommended for personal preference.
Ghost Zones
Ghost zones are areas where there is no support or resistance in levels that aren't dark pools. These zones are where price can move freely, depending on what net flow is doing. If net flow is bearish and price loses a level, it may drop significantly. However, if zero-day gamma shows up, it can save the price. The ghost zones are important to understand, as they can affect the market's behavior.
Spy Options Dashboard
Spy Options Dashboard is a simple tool that shows heat maps of positions being sold or bought. The net flow is the same as the algo flow, and is used to determine the direction of the market. The deltas are used to show the dealer's position and the direction of the market. The deltas are important to understand, as they can indicate the strength of the market. The price distribution is also important, and can be used to determine the potential of the market.
Gamma
Gamma is an important part of the trading platform, and is used to determine the direction of the market. The overall aggregate of gamma shows the overall direction of the market. The script also includes the ability to drill down and see the gamma at different expiries. The gamma is used every day in the Discord and is an important part of the daily routine. The script also includes the ability to manually draw the gamma levels on the chart.
Understanding and Using the Spy Options Page
The Spy Options Page is used to analyze market trends and make predictions about price movements. It's essential to understand that the Spy Options Page is a large sampling of the pool that has happened over time, and even when drilling down to individual days, there may be differences in price or gamma. The zero-day gamma is important because it shows the current gamma of the market, which can be used to predict future price movements. To get a better understanding of the market, it's recommended to look at the next day's gamma about 2 hours in to get a clearer picture.
Spy Charts Page
The Spy Charts Page is a simple chart that can be customized to show different types of data. Users can change the time frame to get a bigger or smaller picture of the market. The chart can be used to analyze the market's trends and identify potential trading opportunities. The chart also has a feature called "net flow" which shows the flow of money in and out of the market.
Gex and Vex Profiles
Gex and Vex profiles are used to analyze the market's strengths and weaknesses. Anything below the zero line is more supported, meaning that the market is more likely to move in that direction. The profiles can be used to identify potential trading opportunities and make predictions about future price movements.
Seasonality
Seasonality is an important feature that shows the market's performance over different time periods. Users can use seasonality to identify trends and make predictions about future price movements.
AI-Drawn Support and Resistance Levels
AI-drawn support and resistance levels are used to identify potential trading opportunities. The levels can be customized to show different types of data and can be used to identify potential trading opportunities.
Additional Tips
It's essential to understand that the Spy Options Page is a tool and should be used in conjunction with other tools and strategies. Users should always verify their information and do their own research before making any trading decisions. The Spy Options Page is a powerful tool that can be used to make predictions about future price movements and identify potential trading opportunities.
