Gamma Exposure (also known as GEX) is one of the most powerful and underrated tools for options traders. If you want to understand how major price levels form — and how to trade around volatility — this is essential information.
A volatility surface maps out how implied volatility (IV) changes across different option strikes or deltas and expiration times, offering a three-dimensional view of the market’s expectation of future volatility. Constructing a volatility surface goes beyond merely collecting option prices and calculating IV’s. It involves selecting appropriate models, ensuring data integrity, selecting reasonable filters, and constantly updating to incorporate the latest market conditions.
Multi-timeframe trading describes a trading approach where the trader combines different trading timeframes to improve decision-making and optimize their chart analyses.
