Dealer's Hand reads how the big options market makers are positioned before QQQ makes its move.
Options / GEX · QQQ · Daily
Dealer's Hand maps dealer gamma on QQQ, the fund that tracks the Nasdaq 100, every day. Dealer gamma describes how the big options market makers (the dealers) are positioned, and it tells you how they have to trade to stay balanced. When dealers sit in positive gamma, they sell into rallies and buy dips, which pins the index near the price levels where the most options sit. Traders call those levels the call wall (above price) and the put wall (below price), and they become places to bet on a reversal. When gamma flips negative, dealers chase price instead of leaning against it, and the same walls that once held now break. The advantage comes from that forced hedging pressure, not from guesswork.
Dealer's Hand checks the gamma map through the session. On a positive gamma day it looks to fade pushes into the walls, meaning it bets price turns back when it reaches a wall. On a negative gamma day it stands down on fades and braces for a breakout, a move through the wall. Backtested fades landed near 65 percent of the time on QQQ daily data, a track record worth noting, not a promise. The exact triggers stay inside the code, and that is what ships when you buy.
Every session, Dealer's Hand pulls the dealer gamma map for QQQ and marks whether positioning is positive or negative, and where the call wall and put wall sit. That map becomes the lens for the day. Nothing gets traded until this read is complete.
Positive gamma points to a fade at the wall, betting on a turn. Negative gamma points to bracing for a breakout instead. Some days the map gives no clear lean, and Dealer's Hand simply waits. The decision follows the map, not a hunch.
On a fade day, the trade bets on a turn at the wall the map pointed to. On a brace day, it positions for the break instead of fighting it. When neither setup is clean, Dealer's Hand sits out and waits for the next session.
Dealer's Hand suits QQQ traders who want one clear daily read on how the options dealers are positioned, rather than a screen they have to watch all session long.
