How to Use the Terminal

OptionsTopo isn't just a dashboard; it's a window into the market maker's book. Here's how to interpret the data:

1. Algo Flow

This is your primary trend identifier. It filters out retail noise and tracks aggressive institutional demand.
Green Line Rising: Aggressive Call Buying (Bullish Flow).
Red Line Falling: Aggressive Put Buying (Bearish Flow).

2. Netdrift Heatmap

Netdrift visualizes the "drift" of liquidity. When GEX shifts from negative to positive, dealers switch from selling into strength to buying into strength. Use this to spot reversal points.

3. GEX Profile

The "walls" of the market. High Positive GEX acts as a magnet/dampener (low volatility), while High Negative GEX acts as an accelerant (high volatility).

Trading Strategies

  • The Pin: Price tends to gravitate towards large GEX walls near expiration.
  • The Squeeze: When Price breaks a major Negative GEX level, dealers are forced to hedge aggressively, fueling the move.
