GAMMA FLOW RESEARCH GUIDE
How to read the 30-day level reactions.
Gamma Flow Research keeps the current option-derived levels on the chart and adds observed reactions from the latest 30-day archive. The bottom-right panel is the compact summary.
60-SECOND CHART READ
Four checks. Current map first, price confirmation last.
Use the same order on NinjaTrader, ATAS and MT5. The market and source-state labels can differ, but the decision sequence does not.
- 00–15s
Confirm the current map
Check the nearest active resistance, support or Gamma flip, plus the source time and availability state. Ignore distant levels first.
- 15–30s
Mark any confluence zone
If several current levels overlap, treat the area as concentrated context—not a guaranteed reversal.
- 30–45s
Check observed history
Use 14-day dots for level movement, then read the 30-day sample count, five-minute reaction rate and median move. A small sample or -- is not evidence.
- 45–60s
Wait for price confirmation
Look for rejection, acceptance, a clean break or a reclaim before applying your own entry and risk rules. A touch alone is not a signal.
Current map → confluence → observed history → price confirmation. Complete all four checks before making a decision.
THE CORE PANEL
Read the bottom-right block first.
The red frame identifies the 30D LEVEL REACTIONS panel. Each row summarizes completed historical touches for one type of level.
ONE ROW, FOUR PARTS
Example: PUT N | Put OI Node 2 1.1K | 30D n=51 | 5m 35% | med -0.8pt
Read left to right. The level identity is current; the reaction statistics come from completed touches in the archived period.
PUT N / Node 2 1.1K- The current second-ranked put open-interest concentration and its current size. It is not a universal threshold.
30D n=51- Fifty-one completed touches of this level type were available in the latest 30-day archive.
5m 35%- Thirty-five percent of completed touches had a positive signed move away from the level five minutes later. This is a reaction rate, not a strategy win rate.
med -0.8pt- The median signed five-minute reaction was -0.8 points. Positive means the median moved away from the level; negative means it moved through or against the rejection model.
For a touch from below, an away reaction is downward. For a touch from above, an away reaction is upward. The statistic normalizes both cases before aggregation.
ROW TYPES
What the abbreviations represent.
Only level types present in the current server snapshot are listed.
5m --No complete five-minute touch outcome was available for that row. It should not be read as zero.DISPLAY CONTROLS
