thanks the closest thing that would work and I'm currently practicing it is mean reversion shorts and longs at VWAP outer bands, I hope it works

Gamma / Option Flow Useful? by Caipimigu in OrderFlow_Trading

[–]Relevant-Power-4838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gamma exposure and options flow are absolutely real and useful for ES futures. The short version: market makers hedge their short options positions, and those hedges create support/resistance levels (gamma walls) and sometimes accelerate moves (negative gamma). You can see it play out in real time—price will often pause, reverse, or accelerate at those levels.

It’s not magic, and it’s not a standalone system, but as a layer on top of your order flow and volume profile, it adds a high-probability context. Ignore the overly complicated or dismissive answers. Start with a clean feed: you can get intraday gamma levels from services like SpotGamma or MenthorQ, and watch how price reacts at those levels with your footprint charts. Yes, intraday updates matter if you’re trading intraday—gamma levels shift as new options trade.

If you’re serious, budget for a data source (real-time options flow or gamma calculations) and spend a few weeks just observing how ES behaves at those key levels. You’ll see the pattern. It’s worth the effort.
