Complete Example

Setup: SPX trading at $6,858. DealerEdge anchor at $6,900.

  • Price is below anchor (bearish bias).
  • GEX Rating 4-5 confirms bullish gamma positioning (potential squeeze up) or Rating 1-2 for bearish continuation.
  • AlgoEdge fires early alert for SPX 0DTE calls or puts matching the bias.
  • OptionFlow shows clustered activity in same direction.

Entry: On ORB break above the morning high (if bullish) or below the morning low (if bearish), buy 0DTE options at delta ~0.20, premium ~$2.

Management: Target 40-70% gain, stop at 20% loss, exit by 2 PM regardless.
