Prism by GEXfreak opens on a QQQ chart with the key options levels drawn on it. This guide covers the first ten minutes: what to check, what each line means, how to save an alert, and what your account gets today.
There is nothing to set up first. New accounts open straight on a QQQ chart in Simple mode, with the call wall, put wall and gamma flip drawn across price.
Check the label beside the price before you read a level. Demo means a fictional sample book, not today’s market; an account sees it until it has live data. When quotes run late, a Paused: data delayed bar says so, and new alerts and desk notes wait until the data recovers.
To look at SPY or another market, open the symbol menu next to the ticker, or press Ctrl K (⌘ K on a Mac).
Open Context in the left rail for the desk’s note and today’s levels. Read it top to bottom before the open.
If a part of the desk note says it is for members, your account does not have that access yet.
Three lines do most of the work, and a shaded band adds context. Select the ? beside a level’s name on the chart any time for a short explanation with the chart’s own numbers.
Call options stack up most at this price.
A modeled level, not a prediction that price will stop there.
In model terms: The strike with the most call-side gamma in the model: an area to watch as price rises toward it.
Reading call and put walls · 3 minPut options stack up most at this price.
A modeled level, not a prediction that price will hold there.
In model terms: The strike with the most put-side gamma in the model: an area to watch as price falls toward it.
Reading call and put walls · 3 minThe model’s line between where moves can calm and where they can run further.
It describes the volatility regime, not the next direction.
In model terms: The price where modeled net gamma changes sign: positive gamma above it, negative gamma below it.
What changes at the gamma flip? · 3 minWhere call and put options cluster most.
Context for where gamma clusters, not a signal on its own.
In model terms: GRC means gamma concentration: the strike where the most gamma sits on the current book, calls and puts together, with a band around it.
Using the GRC band on a chart · 4 minLevels are modeled context, not predictions or trade instructions. They are estimated from options open interest with an assumed dealer position, so they mark areas where options hedging may matter. They do not say where price will go. Methodology sets out each assumption, starting with the three reference points.
Save now · watches once your account has live data
When alerts start. A saved alert starts watching once your account has live data. From then on our server checks it at every new quote, and with phone alerts on it arrives as a push notification within seconds, even with Prism closed. Each one also lands in the workspace alert inbox. Until then, alerts are saved but cannot fire; your Account page shows your access.
Demo levels are practice numbers. While your chart shows the demo book, its levels are not today’s market, so an alert saved at one will not line up with live prices. Check it again once your chart shows live data.
QQQ · Within 0.10% of 700.00. With live data, you get a push once QQQ trades within about $0.70 of 700.00.
The Simple | Pro switch at the top right changes the view. Pro adds the gamma (dealer) map, the expiry matrix, near-spot exposure, the Net GEX pane and more chart layers. You can switch back any time, and both views use the same data.
The rail on the left moves between views such as Price and Context (the AI desk notes), and Pro adds more views. Open Setups to see the rules we track and test; none has qualified yet.
On trading days, Eastern time. Each item says who it is for.
Levels and regime before the open, by push, and by email once your address is confirmed.
Publishes in Context at about this time.
Saved price alerts are checked at every new quote and pushed to your connected devices.
The end-of-day recap, by push, and by email once confirmed.
Your Account page shows which of these your account gets today. Until it has live data, the chart shows a labeled demo book and saved alerts wait.
Select Help (the ? button in the lower-right corner of the workspace), or press ? on a keyboard. On a wide screen it opens beside the chart, so you can read and look at the same time. It searches quick answers, shows what works on your account today and links these guides.
