The problem

What the usual options data leaves you fighting

Settled open interest is broadcast once each morning, by midday your GEX chart is stale.

Free GEX tools stop at a single chart; you can't see how today's flow is shifting the walls.

You're guessing whether dealers are amplifying the move or dampening it into a pin.

What FlashAlpha gives you

FlashAlpha serves both surfaces: settled GEX for the book of record, and flow-GEX recomputed against effective OI, plus a net dealer-risk classifier that labels the shift amplifying, dampening or a regime flip.

The endpoints you'll call

Gamma exposure (GEX) GET /v1/exposure/gex/SPY Free Flow-GEX (live, effective OI) GET /v1/flow/gex/SPY Growth Net dealer risk GET /v1/flow/dealer-risk/SPY Growth

Questions, answered

What is flow-GEX versus settled GEX?

Settled GEX is computed from the morning-broadcast open interest, stable but a day behind. Flow-GEX recomputes the same exposure against effective OI: settled OI plus our intraday simulator's estimate of positions opened or closed today.

How is effective OI estimated intraday?

The simulator applies a confidence weight to side-classified buy/sell volume to estimate how many contracts opened or closed since the open, then adds that to settled OI per contract.

Which plan unlocks flow-GEX?

Single-expiry settled GEX and key levels are Free. Flow-GEX, net dealer risk and the other flow endpoints are Growth; the raw OI simulator state and live flow bundle are Alpha.

Does this work on single names or only indexes?

Any US equity or ETF with listed options. Index symbols (SPX, VIX, etc.) require the Basic plan or higher on any endpoint.

Recommended plan

Growth $239/mo

billed annually ($2,868/yr)

Growth unlocks flow-GEX, net dealer risk and the full flow suite, live dealer positioning, not yesterday's book.
