chart
Powers the orderflow charts — net gex, net convexity, dex orderflow, aggregate dex, and more.
Provides a real-time snapshot of key orderflow metrics for the nearest and next expiries. This includes aggregated and net dealer exposure (DEX), GEX, convexity, vanna, and charm, as well as orderflow indicators that measure the change in these exposures per second.
Subscription
Requires an Orderflow subscription or higher.
Metric Concepts & Calculation Rules
Orderflow metrics separate into three distinct calculation classes:
1. Cumulative Session Flow (agg_*)
- Behavior: Running sum of transaction delta since session open (09:30 ET).
- Reset: Resets to zero every morning at 09:30 ET market open.
- Fields:
agg_dex,agg_call_dex,agg_put_dex,one_agg_dex,one_agg_call_dex,one_agg_put_dex. - Interpretation: Measures cumulative market order pressure throughout the trading day.
2. Point-in-Time Net Exposure (net_*, *cvr, *gr, *vanna, *charm)
- Behavior: Instantaneous aggregate exposure calculated across all active open positions at that second.
- Reset: Does not reset to zero at open; tracks total positioning on the option chain.
- Fields:
net_dex,net_call_dex,net_put_dex,zcvr,ocvr,zgr,ogr,zvanna,ovanna,zcharm,ocharm. - Interpretation: Measures structural dealer gamma/delta/vanna/charm positioning.
3. Instantaneous Flow Velocity (*oflow)
- Behavior: Measures the rate of change of exposures per second.
- Fields:
dexoflow,one_dexoflow,gexoflow,one_gexoflow,cvroflow,one_cvroflow. - Interpretation: Identifies acute transaction bursts and real-time execution spikes.
4. Expiry Prefix System
| Prefix | Expiration Horizon | Description |
|---|---|---|
z_ / zero_ / un-prefixed | 0 DTE (Nearest Expiry) | Contracts expiring in the current trading session. |
o_ / one_ | 1 DTE (Next Expiry) | Contracts expiring in the next scheduled trading session. |
