Market Concepts & Glossary
Authoritative definitions for derivatives mechanics, volatility models, Greek parameters, and market microstructure terms.
Gamma Exposure (GEX)
OPTIONSNet dollar exposure per 1% change in the underlying asset's price. Measures the aggregate hedging requirements of options dealers.
Net GEX
OPTIONSThe cumulative Gamma Exposure aggregated across all strikes and expirations for a specific underlying asset, representing the net market maker positioning.
Gamma Flip
OPTIONSThe spot price level where net dealer options exposure pivots from positive (long gamma) to negative (short gamma).
Dealer Hedging
OPTIONSThe process by which options market makers buy or sell shares of the underlying stock to maintain delta-neutral books.
Delta Hedging
OPTIONSA risk management strategy that aims to neutralize the directional risk (delta) of a derivatives position by executing offsetting stock trades.
Call Wall
OPTIONSThe strike price containing the highest concentration of call option open interest, acting as a ceiling for underlying spot price moves.
Put Wall
OPTIONSThe strike price containing the highest concentration of put option open interest, acting as a floor for underlying spot price moves.
Vanna
OPTIONSA second-order option Greek that measures the sensitivity of Delta to changes in Implied Volatility (IV).
Charm
OPTIONSA second-order option Greek that measures the sensitivity of Delta to time decay (passage of time). Also known as delta decay.
Volatility Smile
OPTIONSThe implied volatility curve across option strikes for a single expiration, showing higher IV for out-of-the-money options.
Volatility Skew
OPTIONSThe difference in implied volatility between out-of-the-money puts and out-of-the-money calls for a specific expiration.
Volatility Term Structure
OPTIONSThe curve displaying the implied volatility of options across different expiration cycles, showing expectations of volatility over time.
