# DeepGamma goes web on October 4: 14 days of real CBOE GEX, and what to do with them - Source: https://orderflowfutures.com/en/blog/deepgamma-web-free-trial - Site: OrderFlowFutures (https://orderflowfutures.com) - Author: Tom, Trader & founder of OrderFlowFutures (https://orderflowfutures.com/a-propos#auteur) - Published: 2026-09-21 - Updated: 2026-09-21 - Reuse: free to quote and cite, with attribution to OrderFlowFutures and a link to the source URL. > DeepCharts ships the web version of DeepGamma on October 4, 2026, with 14 days of real CBOE gamma exposure data. What is announced, what is not, and a ten-session protocol to find out whether it changes your decisions. There are two ways to waste a free trial. The first is not taking it. The second, far more common, is taking it with no plan, staring at coloured levels for two weeks, then letting access expire with the vague feeling that it looked clever but wasn't for you. On October 4, 2026, DeepCharts releases the web version of [DeepGamma](/deepgamma), its gamma exposure and option flow module, and it is running the launch with a signup that hands you fourteen days of real CBOE GEX data for free. This article covers what is actually announced, what is not, why the word CBOE matters more than anything else on that page, and above all how to spend those fourteen days so you come out with a straight answer. **DeepCharts launches the web version of DeepGamma on October 4, 2026. Signing up is a plain form (first name, last name, email) and it grants 14 days of real CBOE gamma exposure data. That is where the event page stops: no price for life after the trial, no list of the tools the web version ships with, nothing on system requirements. What makes the trial worth taking is not its length, it is the source of the data: SPX gamma exposure computed from CBOE participant trades, not reconstructed by formula from an OPRA feed.** --- ## 1. What is announced, exactly Checked on September 21, 2026 on the DeepCharts event page, walking through it for real: - **The date.** DeepGamma WEB ships on October 4, 2026, with a countdown running to the day itself. - **The offer.** Learn to read gamma exposure and get 14 days of actual CBOE GEX data for free, presented as a one-time launch offer. - **The path.** A three-field form, first name, last name, email, plus accepting the terms. No card is asked for at this stage. That is the whole of it. The page does not say what the web version costs once the trial ends, does not list the tools it carries, does not say whether it replaces the desktop module or sits next to it, and says nothing about system requirements. Four unknowns, and dressing them up as settled facts is exactly the shortcut that sends a reader clicking towards something other than what was promised. They get answered on October 4, not before, and this page gets updated that day. --- ## 2. Why CBOE is the only word that matters on that page Dealer gamma exposure is never published anywhere. It is computed, from what trades in the options market. And that is where two worlds split apart. The first world is **CBOE participant data**, from the exchange where SPX index options trade. Every trade there is tagged with a participant category, which tells you which side of the contract the market maker sits on. The [GEX](/deepcharts/gex-profile) built on top of that rests on facts. The second world is **OPRA**, the consolidated feed of every US equity and ETF option. You see the trades, but not who the dealer is. Turning that into gamma exposure means guessing the side of each ticket through a proprietary formula. It is an approximation, sometimes a good one, never a fact. DeepGamma uses CBOE data for SPX, and an OPRA-derived approach for NDX, QQQ and SPY. The [GEX Heatmap](/deepcharts/gex-heatmap) and [Option Big Flows](/deepcharts/option-big-flows) are SPX only, at roughly one-minute resolution with about nine months of replayable history. Everywhere else you are looking at an estimate, and basic honesty means treating it as one. The trial is on the CBOE data. That is what makes it unusual, because that is the expensive part, and the part nobody gives away without a reason. --- ## 3. Gamma in three sentences, for a futures trader You trade ES or NQ and options bore you. The market makers writing SPX options do not have that luxury: every contract they sell forces them to hedge, and they hedge in ES futures, continuously, whatever they think of price. When their gamma exposure is positive, that hedging makes them sell into strength and buy into weakness: flow absorbs, moves die, mean reversion works. When it is negative, the same mechanism flips and makes them sell into weakness and buy into strength: flow amplifies, breakouts follow through, sessions get long. It is context, never an entry signal. Gamma tells you what kind of session you are in. [Order flow](/order-flow) tells you when to press. Confusing the two means entering because an option wall sits ten points higher, which is the fastest way to lose money with an excellent tool. The full reasoning lives in [GEX: why SPX drives your ES](/blog/gex-spx-drives-your-es). --- ## 4. Fourteen days, a protocol Fourteen days is ten trading sessions. That is short for forming an opinion by wandering around, and plenty for answering one precise question. The question is this: **does knowing the gamma context change a decision I already make?** Here is how to answer it without cheating. **Days 1 to 3, you do not trade off it.** Each morning before the open, write down three numbers and nothing else: the call wall, the put wall, and the flip level. In the evening, pull up the session chart and look at where price stalled, where it accelerated, where it spent the day. You are not trying to be right, you are finding out whether those three numbers have any relationship at all with what happened. Three sessions is enough to feel it. **Days 4 to 7, you compare two regimes.** Across that stretch you will almost certainly get one session trading above the flip and one below it. Pull up the [GEX Heatmap](/deepcharts/gex-heatmap) on both and look at the same things: the range of the session, what a retest of a level is worth, what a breakout does. If the regime difference does not jump out at you on those two days, it will not jump out later either, and that is already an answer. **Days 8 to 11, you open the option flow.** [Option Big Flows](/deepcharts/option-big-flows) marks large tickets on price with their exact nature. Train yourself to read what a ticket really is before drawing any directional conclusion from it: a large put purchase can be a short position being closed, which is the opposite of a bearish bet. That reading is the only genuine skill the tool asks for, and it is the one you lose if you do not build it now. **Days 12 to 14, you decide.** Go back through your journal and count, honestly: how many times did the gamma context make you **skip** a trade you would have taken, or hold one you would have cut. If the answer is zero, let the trial expire and put the budget into better market data instead. If the answer is two or three, you have your answer too, and it does not depend on anyone's sales page. --- ## 5. Three misreadings that waste a trial **The call wall is not a sell order.** It is the strike where exposure is densest, so the place where hedging weighs most. Price often slows there. It also accelerates there, and clearing that level is one of the cleanest moves of the day when it happens. **The profile is a photograph, the heatmap is the film.** The [GEX Profile](/deepcharts/gex-profile) shows exposure stacked strike by strike at a point in time. It shifts during the session, especially on expiry days. Reading the morning profile at four in the afternoon is navigating with yesterday's map. **[Expected move](/deepcharts/expected-move) is not a forecast.** It is what the options market charges for the session, so it is a price, not a prediction. Use it to size a target, never to pick a direction. --- ## 6. What going web actually changes The DeepGamma module lives inside the desktop platform today, and that platform runs on Windows. On a Mac the community runs it inside Parallels Desktop, which works well enough but costs another licence, a virtual machine and a certain amount of patience. A web version, by definition, opens in a browser. If the October 4 launch delivers that simple promise, the heaviest constraint in the DeepCharts ecosystem falls away for this module, and that is probably the real news here, more than the trial. I write it conditionally because the event page says nothing about system requirements, and claiming otherwise would be making things up. Answer on October 4. --- ## 7. Claiming a spot Signup happens on the DeepCharts event page, three fields, no card. **[Save my spot →](/go/deepcharts?p=gammaweb&from=blog-dgweb)**: the DeepCharts launch form, and the 14 days of CBOE GEX data that come with it. That link is a partner link, it carries the code OFF and it keeps this site running. It changes nothing about what you pay, and it changes nothing about what is written above either: the caveat on OPRA data, the four unknowns on the event page and the days 12 to 14 protocol, which ends with "let it expire", are in this article because they are true, not because they help sell anything. If you want to understand the module before signing up, the [DeepGamma](/deepgamma) pillar walks through all eight tools, what each one really covers, and where they sit in the [DeepCharts](/deepcharts) plans. --- ## Frequently asked questions **When does the web version of DeepGamma launch?** On October 4, 2026. The date is displayed on the DeepCharts event page with a countdown. The launch waitlist has been open since September. **How do you get DeepGamma for free?** By claiming a spot before the October 4, 2026 launch: the signup form, three fields and no card, grants 14 days of real CBOE gamma exposure data. It is a launch offer, not a permanent trial. **What is the difference between CBOE GEX data and OPRA data?** CBOE tags every SPX option trade with a participant category, which tells you which side the market maker is on. OPRA gives you the trades without that information, so gamma exposure has to be guessed through a proprietary formula. The first is a fact, the second an approximation. **Does GEX work on NQ and other contracts?** Real data only covers SPX, and therefore ES by extension. For NDX, QQQ and SPY, DeepGamma works from an OPRA-derived approach that remains an estimate. GEX Heatmap and Option Big Flows are SPX only. **Do you need Windows to run DeepGamma?** The DeepCharts desktop platform runs on Windows, and on a Mac inside Parallels Desktop. That is precisely what the web version is meant to change, but the event page does not spell out system requirements yet.
