π― Single-Name Squeeze Candidates
π Methodology
GAMMA EXPOSURE (GEX)
GEX per contract = Β±OI Γ 100 Γ spotΒ² Γ Ξ³ Γ 0.01+ for calls (dealers short gamma β buy on rise) Β· - for putsUnits: dollars per 1% move in underlying
Total Dealer GEX = Ξ£ across all strikes & expiries
ZERO-GAMMA FLIP LEVEL
Iterate spot β [β5%, +5%] in 0.25% steps Β· find where cumulative GEX crosses zeroAbove flip = positive gamma = dealers stabilize tape (mean revert)
Below flip = negative gamma = dealers amplify moves (momentum/explosive)
VANNA & CHARM
Vanna = βΞ/βΟ β βdβ Γ Ο(dβ) / Ο Β· IV crush βΉ delta change βΉ hedgingCharm =
βΞ/βt Β· time decay drives pinning toward max-pain at expiry
MAX PAIN (per expiry)
Strike K minimizing: Ξ£ max(0, SβK) Γ call_OI + max(0, KβS) Γ put_OIGravitational pull toward this strike at expiry
IV SKEW (30-day)
IV_25-delta-put β IV_25-delta-callHigher = expensive crash hedges = market stress
SQUEEZE SCORE
+30 if total GEX < β0.05B (negative gamma)+25 if P/C OI < 0.7 (call-heavy positioning)
+20 if 30d skew < 0.02 (flat = complacency)
+15 if 0DTE volume > 30% (speculation surge)
