Dealers have to hedge.
That’s your map.

SPY, QQQ & IWM gamma exposure · the live dealer map · and the read that comes with it

Net GEX and the regime. The flip, the walls, and Gravity — the level price goes quiet around. Put/call skew and the near/far term structure. The live flow lean with unusual volume by strike. And what price did the last time dealers sat exactly like this. Remapped every 60 seconds, written up before the open.

The flow terminals hand you raw data and make you the analyst. NoVo Options Trading reads the same flow — and hands you the read.

Dr. NoVo — the AI market analyst in your pocket. The answers you can’t find in a search engine.

The NoVo Analyst dealer map: gamma flip, call and put walls, gravity and the expected range, with the gamma profile, the flow tape and the 24/5 futures tape — and the written read, Congress filings and Dr. NoVo on a phone.

Built for one kind of trader.

If you trade SPY, QQQ or IWM intraday — especially 0DTE — this was built for your session. If you swing single names for weeks, it wasn’t.

You’ll get it in a session
  • 0DTE and intraday on the index ETFs
  • You already trade levels — you just want better ones
  • You’d rather be told the regime than guess it
  • One or two tickers, traded properly
Look elsewhere if
  • You need dealer gamma on thousands of single names
  • You hold for weeks and don’t care about the open
  • You want signals to follow, not a read to trade
  • You want it to trade for you unattended

The dealer's map — decoded

Institutional reads on SPY, QQQ & IWM — dealer positioning, live options flow, sweeps & block prints, and the gamma squeeze — computed off live options data and updated through the session. Every term is explained in plain English; you don't need a desk background to use it.

🧲

Net GEX · the regime

Positive = dealers dampen moves (grind / mean-revert). Negative = they amplify (moves extend). Know which market you're in before you enter.

🔀

Gamma Flip

The price where dealer hedging flips from dampening to amplifying. Cross it and the whole character of the tape changes.

🧱

Call & Put walls

The biggest gamma strikes — the pins price gets drawn to and the levels it reacts at. Resistance above, support below.

📐

Expected move

The ±1σ range the options market is pricing for the day and the week — your realistic playing field, VIX/VXN-anchored.

⚖️

Put/Call skew

Are traders paying up for downside protection or chasing upside? The market's fear-vs-greed tell, in vol points.

📊

Vanna & charm exposure

The second-order book: how dealer hedging shifts when volatility moves (vanna), and the delta bleeding out of it every day into expiry (charm).

🪐

Gravity · the damper

The gamma-weighted center of the dealer book — the level price goes quiet around in a positive-gamma regime. Over Dr. NoVo’s own log the next hour runs about half as wide when price sits on it. A high-probability mean-reversion target.

🌡️

Fast / Slow MM skew

Near-term skew vs the structural baseline — whether dealers' short-dated fear is spiking above, or fading below, the longer-dated read.

Gamma squeeze signal

A live 0–100 read on when dealers flip from dampening to amplifying — short gamma plus a break of the flip, where moves extend instead of mean-reverting. Live on the dashboard the moment it arms, for whichever ticker you’re watching.

📈

Options flow · call vs put demand

Which side the volume is building on across the chain, the day's put/call ratio, and the unusual-volume strikes — the crowd's positioning as it forms, live off the chain.

📈

Gamma by strike, through the session

The dealer map with a time axis: one column every few minutes, so you can see where gamma built, where it drained, and which strikes held it all day — not just where it sits right now.

🪜

Ranked strikes

The ten heaviest gamma strikes in order, each with its sign and how far it sits from spot.

🕳️

Blind spots

The runs between weighted strikes, where a move through has nothing to lean on.

📍

Max pain

The 0DTE strike with the least payout at expiry, on the dealer grid beside the walls and the flip.

🗓️

The expiry ladder

Every expiry with its net GEX, its share of the book, its put/call open interest and its own max pain. Today’s is tagged.

📏

Expected-range lines

The day’s expected high and low drawn straight onto the gamma profile.

⏭️

Next-session base rates

What the session after a setup like today’s has resolved to, and the range it typically covered.

📰

The wire

Headlines for the ticker you are reading, each carrying the publisher who ran it and how long ago.

🗓️

Earnings ahead

Who reports next, when, and which quarter, with the estimate on the same row as the actual once it lands.

🐋

Sweeps & blocks

Real order flow off the live print tape — aggressor-tagged sweeps (one order shredded across venues to get filled fast) and oversized block prints, for SPY, QQQ and IWM. The buy/sell footprint, not just volume totals — computed in-house off the tape, drawn straight into your dealer map.

🕰️

Historical analogues

“Today looks like…” — NoVo Options Trading logs every session's dealer map and surfaces the closest prior setups, with how each one resolved into the close. Pattern memory for the map.

📊

Base rates

Analogues name the three closest days. This is the aggregate behind them: across every session logged in that state, how often it resolved which way and by how much. Not "today looks like Aug 18" — "the last 6 sessions in this state resolved down over the next hour 63% of the time".

Dr. NoVo — the AI market analyst

It has read every session your dealer map has printed. It answers off today’s live dealer read — including how much of the book expires at today’s close, so “does this pin survive the afternoon” is a question with an answer — its own logged record of how each setup resolved, and 1,200+ Journal articles, and every historical claim arrives with the sample size behind it. When it needs the catalyst behind a move, the next earnings date, the macro calendar, the volatility record back to 1990 or the futures positioning, it goes and gets them. It shows you what it checked — and when one of its own published claims stops working, it says so, with the sample size behind it. And when the question deserves more than a desk answer, ask for a deep read — it takes the long way: more lookups, wider retrieval, current context pulled from the wires with the sources named, a structured report. It also acts for you where a read is not enough: set a level alert in a sentence and a push finds your phone when it crosses, paste a chart screenshot and it reads the structure, and it remembers what you follow across conversations.

Dr. NoVo · AI market analyst Example exchange
What has a setup like this usually done?
Short gamma, price 0.3% under the flip, vol in the middle third. Over the next hour that has resolved down 63% of the time, median −0.03% — 1,093 snapshots across 6 sessions.
Checked: live dealer map SPY · base rates SPY
Why did we drop into the close?
Price lost the opening-range low at 765.86 just after 14:00 and there was no shelf under it until the pre-market low at 764.15. Dealers are short gamma below the flip, so hedging sold into that move rather than absorbing it.
Checked: live dealer map SPY · logged sessions SPY · headlines SPY
Which of the three books is most stretched right now?
IWM. Small caps sit 1.1% below their flip with dealers short gamma — hedging amplifies every move. QQQ is the opposite book: long gamma above 714, the only one absorbing. SPY is in between, half a percent under. Same trade, three different tapes.
Checked: live dealer map SPY · QQQ · IWM
Tell me when SPY reclaims the flip and holds it.
Set. Watching 769.90 — if price crosses and holds through consecutive checks, a push finds your phone. I’ll name the side it broke from and what sits behind the move.

The same desk on a phone — the hourly audit, today’s read, and Dr. NoVo.

You get the interpretation, written like a desk note.

Twice a session — the Open and the Close, plus a Sunday Week-Ahead — Dr. NoVo writes a cold, institutional read of the tape and the positioning. No hype, no calls to trade. And the moment a major level breaks, ‘The Line’ lands a hold-or-break playbook live on your dashboard, for the ticker you’re watching.

Sample · The Open

SPY opens pinned inside a positive-gamma regime — dealers long, moves dampened.

Net GEX sits at +$2.0B with the flip down at 752.48, so expect a grind between the 759 call wall and the 740 put wall rather than a clean trend. The weekly expected move is ±1%. While positive gamma holds, the band edges tend to get pulled back toward the middle; a decisive break below the flip is what turns chop into trend — that's the level that changes the map.

In your inbox

The Open · The Close · The Week Ahead

A morning desk note, a closing read, and a Sunday week-ahead — each grounded in the live dealer map and this week's real catalysts, in plain English. And at 12:30 on trading days NoVo speaks first: a lunch-hour read on what the morning resolved to, dropped straight into the members chat.

Real-time

‘The Line’ level-break playbooks

When SPY, QQQ or IWM breaks or reclaims a MAJOR level, an instant hold-or-break playbook lands on your dashboard — for whichever ticker you’re watching. The same deterministic read every time.

Real-time

Gamma-squeeze signal

When dealers go short gamma and price breaks the flip — the setup where moves extend instead of fading — it lands live on your dashboard the moment it arms, for the ticker you’re watching. Momentum over mean-reversion.

The only question that
actually matters.

Every dealer map tells you where the walls are. None of them tell you what happened the last time the dealers were positioned exactly like this, so you are left reading a chart and guessing. NoVo scores today’s SPY dealer configuration against every session it has logged, and shows you the closest matches with what price actually did afterwards.

Closest historical SPY dealer setups & how they resolved
Aug 12 12:36 · 92% match · long gamma → +0.10% 15m · +0.06% 60m · +0.01% into close
Aug 11 11:06 · 92% match · long gamma → −0.06% 15m · −0.09% 60m · −0.38% into close
Aug 7 14:26 · 91% match · long gamma → −0.03% 15m · +0.18% 60m · +0.23% into close
A real read from the dashboard. Note the second row went the other way — that is the point. You are being shown the distribution, not a prediction, and a 92% match that resolved badly is worth more to you than a confident arrow.

This is the piece we have not found anywhere else in the dealer-positioning market — and it only exists because the map has been logged every 60 seconds, every session, since the day it went live.

Every read we’ve published, in the open.

Members get each read live; everyone else sees it once the session is over — win, lose or wrong. Read back through every desk note we have ever sent and judge the call yourself before you pay for the next one — it's also how NoVo's read gets found on Google.

Common questions.

Is this trade signals?
No. Analyst is a structural read of dealer positioning — the map, the levels, and what tends to follow, with real-time per-ticker level-break and gamma-squeeze signals. It never tells you to “buy calls here” it shows you where the market is on the map and you make the call.
What exactly do I get?
The live SPY/QQQ/IWM dealer map — net GEX, the gamma flip, dealer walls, gravity, expected move, skew, fast/slow MM skew, vanna and charm — in an installable members dashboard; a written desk-note read emailed each session (the Open and the Close), plus a Sunday Week Ahead; real-time ‘The Line’ level-break playbooks live on the members dashboard; plus the private Analyst channels in the NoVo Discord.
How often will I hear from you?
A morning Open and an end-of-day Close each trading session, a Week Ahead on Sundays, and real-time ‘The Line’ alerts — when SPY, QQQ or IWM breaks or reclaims a major level, with a hold-vs-break playbook and the confirmation to watch. Only when a level actually gives way, capped to one per level a day. Actionable, not a firehose.
Do I need a brokerage account or any setup?
No. Analyst is pure read. You just open the dashboard and read. (Trader is the same map, streamed live on a candle chart.)
How is this different from Trader?
Analyst gives you the read; Trader streams it live. Analyst ($129/mo) is the live dealer map + the written read. Trader streams that same read on a live candle chart — the dealer levels drawn on the tape as they move, a structural audit rerun at the top of every hour, and Dr. NoVo’s own scored record on the setup in front of you.
Where does the analysis come from?
NoVo's live engine reads SPY/QQQ/IWM tape, dealer positioning, and market structure through the entire session. The reads you get are that engine's view — the same structural work that drives the Trader tier — translated into plain language. Public options data.
Free trial? Can I cancel?
Yes — Analyst starts with a 7-day free trial. After that it's $129/mo (or $1,290/yr — two months free), and you can cancel in one click from the billing link in your Stripe receipts, no questions asked.
