Do gamma flip & max pain actually work?
Every morning our bot publishes the dealer-positioning map — gamma flip, max pain, expected move. This page scores those same published levels against what the market then did, over the last 30+ trading days. Updated hourly, no hand-picked wins.
How each stat is scored
Expected move containment
Each morning we record the options-implied expected move (from the ATM straddle). The day scores a "hit" if the close stayed inside that ±range. What is the expected move? →
Max pain pull
If price started meaningfully away from the morning max pain strike, the day scores a "hit" when the close ended nearer to it — the "magnet" effect. Max pain explained →
Realized range by gamma regime
Dealer positioning theory says days that open above the gamma flip should move less (dealers dampen), and days below it should move more (dealers amplify). We compare the average realized high-low range in each regime. What is GEX? →
The data
Stats are computed from the structural snapshots our X bot (@GreeksOptions) persists on every scan — the same levels it tweets. The first snapshot of each day is the "call"; the observed high/low/close is the outcome. This is a statistical map of hedging flows, not trading advice — see the risk disclaimer.
