01. Command Center Fundamentals

The Arkenwell Command Center is the keyboard-first control layer for navigating market data, derivatives analytics, quantitative models, alerts, and terminal workspaces.
It is designed to reduce navigation overhead and keep analysis inside a single, consistent command workflow. Commands are parsed in real time, security symbols are resolved dynamically against NSE symbology, and supported analytics are connected to Arkenwell live market-data and telemetry layers.
Open the Command Center
Use the Command Center from any Arkenwell view:
/ — Open Command Center
Ctrl + K — Open on Windows/Linux
Cmd + K — Open on macOS
Esc — Dismiss and return to the active workspace
↑ / ↓ — Navigate command history
Enter — Execute the active command
Commands highlighted throughout this guide can be entered directly into the Command Center.
Command Syntax Structure
Arkenwell commands follow a consistent syntax structure:
[ACTION / METRIC] [SYMBOL] [PARAMETERS / CONDITIONS / THRESHOLDS]
Command rules
Case-insensitive
Commands are not case-sensitive. For example:
gex nifty · Gex Nifty · GEX NIFTY
all resolve to the same command.
Global commands
These require no symbol:
VIX · REGIME · SWEEPS · CLEAR · HELP
Symbol-bound commands
These apply an analytical function to a specific security:
GEX NIFTY · PCR BANKNIFTY · QUOTE TCS · CHAIN AXISBANK
Multi-asset commands
These evaluate relationships between securities:
KALMAN HDFCBANK ICICIBANK
Conditional commands
These define a metric, operator, and threshold:
ALERT NIFTY GEX > 500M · ALERT HDFCBANK IVR > 70

02. Market Data & Options Chains

Use these commands to move directly from the Command Center into live quotes, options chains, and derivatives data.

30-day historical PCR range
Extreme-sentiment bands
Reference interpretation

03. Dealer Positioning & Gamma Telemetry

These commands expose the positioning and hedging metrics used to interpret options-market structure.
GEX <SYMBOL> — Net Gamma Exposure
Purpose
Estimate aggregate dealer gamma exposure across active option strikes.
Screen output
Aggregate Net GEX
Strike-by-strike GEX profile
Positive/negative gamma balance
Reference interpretation
Positive GEX: A positive gamma environment is generally associated with dealer hedging that can dampen directional moves and support mean-reverting price behavior.
Negative GEX: A negative gamma environment can increase the sensitivity of dealer hedging to price movement and may reinforce directional momentum.
Examples
GEX NIFTY · GEX BANKNIFTY · GEX AXISBANK · GEX RELIANCE
GFLIP <SYMBOL> — Gamma Flip Level
Purpose
Identify the price level at which aggregate modeled gamma changes sign.
Screen output
Gamma Flip price
Distance from spot
Percentage distance
Current gamma regime
Reference interpretation
Spot above Gamma Flip: The modeled environment is generally associated with lower volatility and stronger mean-reversion characteristics.
Spot below Gamma Flip: The modeled environment can indicate greater volatility sensitivity and stronger directional hedging pressure.
Examples
GFLIP NIFTY · GFLIP BANKNIFTY
WALLS <SYMBOL> — Call Wall & Put Wall
Purpose
Identify major option strikes that may act as structural boundaries.
Working mechanics
The engine scans the option chain for significant call- and put-side concentration using open interest and modeled gamma exposure.
Screen output
Call Wall
Put Wall
Current spot position
Distance to each boundary
Structural range visualization
Reference interpretation
Call Wall: A major call-side concentration that may act as overhead resistance under normal conditions.
Put Wall: A major put-side concentration that may act as downside support under normal conditions.
Examples
WALLS NIFTY · WALLS BANKNIFTY
DEX <SYMBOL> — Dealer Exposure Index
Purpose
Quantify modeled dealer inventory stress and hedging sensitivity around near-the-money strikes.
Working mechanics
The engine evaluates dealer delta sensitivity to a 1% change in the underlying and normalizes the result to a -100 to +100 scale.
Screen output
DEX value
Hedging-risk indicator
Directional vulnerability
Examples
DEX NIFTY · DEX BANKNIFTY · DEX AXISBANK
INVENTORY <SYMBOL> — Dealer Accumulation Tracker
Purpose
Track rolling five-session changes in modeled dealer delta and gamma inventory.
Working mechanics

04. Volatility & Risk Pricing

Use these commands to evaluate implied volatility, volatility skew, and the broader market volatility environment.
IVR <SYMBOL> — Implied Volatility Rank
Purpose
Place current implied volatility within its 52-week historical range.
Screen output
0–100 IVR gauge
52-week IV range
Historical context
Strategy reference tags
Reference interpretation
IVR < 20 — Historically low implied volatility
IVR 20 – 50 — Normal historical range
IVR > 70 — Historically elevated implied volatility
IVR is a historical positioning measure and should be interpreted alongside expiry, liquidity, realized volatility, and event risk.
Examples
IVR NIFTY · IVR BANKNIFTY · IVR HDFCBANK · IVR RELIANCE
SKEW <SYMBOL> — 25-Delta Volatility Skew
Purpose
Measure the relative pricing of downside and upside out-of-the-money options.
Screen output
Volatility smile
25-delta skew
Expiry-by-expiry comparison
Term structure
Reference interpretation
A steeper positive skew generally indicates stronger demand for downside protection. A flatter skew may indicate comparatively lower demand for downside insurance or stronger demand for upside exposure.
Examples
SKEW NIFTY · SKEW BANKNIFTY
VIX — India VIX Monitor
Purpose
Monitor the implied market expectation of near-term NIFTY volatility.
Screen output
India VIX
Daily percentage change
Intraday high / low
Historical volatility regime
Term-structure context
Example
VIX

05. Quantitative Models & Statistical Regimes

These commands provide statistical and model-based views of price relationships and market regimes.
KALMAN <SYM1> <SYM2> — Dynamic Kalman Filter Pair Model
Purpose
Model time-varying statistical relationships and dynamic hedge ratios between two securities.
Working mechanics
The model estimates a dynamic hedge ratio across the selected pair in real time without relying on a fixed lookback window.
Screen output
Dynamic hedge ratio
Current spread
±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ bands
Mean-reversion signal
Reference interpretation
A spread extending beyond ±2σ may indicate a statistically unusual divergence. The result is a model signal, not a guarantee of mean reversion.
Examples
KALMAN HDFCBANK ICICIBANK · KALMAN TCS INFY · KALMAN TATAMOTORS MARUTI
ZSCORE <SYMBOL> — Rolling Statistical Z-Score
Purpose
Measure the distance between the current price and its rolling mean in standard-deviation units.
Screen output
Current Z-score
Historical distribution
Statistical boundary levels
Reference interpretation
Z > +2.5 → Strong upside extension
Z < -2.5 → Strong downside extension
These thresholds indicate statistical extension rather than a guaranteed reversal.
Examples
ZSCORE NIFTY · ZSCORE BANKNIFTY · ZSCORE RELIANCE
REGIME — Market Regime Classifier
Purpose
Classify the current market environment using statistical and volatility characteristics.
Working mechanics
The model evaluates:

11. Interpretation & Regulatory Note

The analytics and thresholds described in this guide are designed as market-structure and decision-support tools. Metrics such as GEX, DEX, PCR, IVR, skew, Z-score, Gamma Flip, and regime classification should be interpreted in context rather than treated as standalone predictions or guaranteed trading signals.
