The problem

What the usual options data leaves you fighting

Options-analytics tools are expensive and overwhelming to get started with.

You want to learn GEX and max pain on real data, not toy examples.

You're not sure which data you actually need yet.

What FlashAlpha gives you

No card required: pull gamma exposure, key levels and max pain on any ticker, read the guides, and upgrade only when you outgrow the free tier.

Questions, answered

Is it really free?

Yes, the Free plan gives 5 requests/day with no card required, covering stock quotes, gamma exposure by strike, key levels, BSM greeks and the IV solver.

What is GEX (gamma exposure)?

It estimates how much dealers must buy or sell to stay hedged as price moves, which tells you whether moves get dampened (positive gamma) or amplified (negative gamma).

What is max pain?

The strike where the total value of options expiring is minimized, often a magnet into expiration. The guide above explains how to use it.

When should I upgrade?

Move to Basic for delta/vanna/charm exposure, max pain and index symbols; Growth for full-chain GEX, 0DTE and flow analytics.

Recommended plan

Growth $239/mo

billed annually ($2,868/yr)

The free endpoints give last-day, cached GEX on one expiry. Growth unlocks live full-chain GEX, 0DTE analytics and the AI narrative, which is what you actually need once you are past exploring.
