OPEX Zone Framework
OPEX Zone Framework
Description:
A weekly options expiration framework for QQQ that translates dealer gamma positioning into five actionable price zones. Updated every Sunday. Personally, I use Barchart's Max Pain and Gamma Exposure data. (This code is neither endorsed by Barchart, nor am I, in any way affiliated with them) Works on all timeframes — zone logic is governed by daily closes only, never intraday wicks.
Five zones:
Extended (above Call Res 3) — no edge, dealers selling every rally
Bullish (Pin → Call Res 3) — long bias, three upside targets labeled
Buy Dip (Gamma Flip → Pin) — dip entries, stop below gamma flip
Stand Aside (Put Floor → Gamma Flip) — no man's land, wait for daily close
Short (below Put Floor on daily close) — short framework active, target deep support
Eight inputs (update every Sunday):
Expiry date · Pin/Max Pain · Gamma Flip · Put Floor · Deep Support · Call Resistance 1/2/3
Alerts included:
· Daily close below gamma flip
· Daily close below put floor
· Daily close reclaims gamma flip
· Daily close above pin
Auto-disables after expiry Friday close with a stale notice. Applicable to any liquid ETF with options data — SPY gives the ES read using the same workflow.
My data source: Barchart Premier — Max Pain & Vol Skew (OI, not volume) + Gamma Exposure by expiry date.
