Market Cross Flow
A side by side view of options order flow across many tickers at once, built to show where money is rotating rather than just what one name is doing.
What is market cross flow?
Market Cross Flow is a three ticker dealer map. Chart picks SPY, SPXW, or QQQ for the candles. The grid on the right always shows those same three names. Metric starts on GEX. Mode starts on Cumulative. Timeframe starts on 5m. A green cell is positive. A red cell is negative. It is a map, not a trade.
Gamma Exposure is a strike table you search by ticker. Market Maker Exposure is SPX only, with Flip Level as a card. This page is locked to SPY, SPXW, and QQQ. Chart picks which of those three drives the candles. The grid still shows all three. Each cell is a strike and a dollar amount for the Metric you picked. GEX is the default. DEX, VEX, CEX, and OI are the other Metric choices. Cumulative is the default Mode. Non-Cumulative is the other. Timeframe buckets the candles: 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, or 30m. Strikes starts at 5. Expiry picks one listed date. Green is positive. Red is negative. The orange line marks last price on the grid. Dots on the candles mark exposure at a strike over the session. A loud cell can still be a hedge, a spread, or a dealer book. None of those cells is an order.
On EZPZ, the live page title is Market Cross Flow. The left ticker line follows Chart. There is no ticker search box. Gamma Exposure is the searchable strike table with Call Wall and Put Wall for one ticker, not this three column grid. Market Maker Exposure is the SPX Flip Level chart with Call Wall, Put Wall, and Expected Move(VEM) and DEM. Greeks Heatmap is the strike-by-expiration grid with Gravity Magnet Score. Option Depth Flow is the searchable strike-by-time Bubble or Gradient chart. Ticker Explorer puts GEX and DEX charts on a one-symbol dashboard. Largest Premium By Tickers is the Bullish Flow / Bearish Flow premium leaderboard when you do not have a ticker yet. Index Trader is the index dashboard with Premium Traffic Lights. Top 20 Optionable ranks listed-option names by Vol. * Price. Market Wave is the Current Day chart of Net Call Premium versus Net Put Premium. Net Flow Graph is one ticker you search with Filter ticker, plus Cumulative Volume Delta. Historical Net Premium is the 15D Cumulative lookback with a daily table. 0DTE Graph is the same-day premium chart with Filter ticker. The 0DTE dropdown is the lock. Weekly-DTE Graph is the WTE chart of premium that expires by Friday. 7-DTE Graph is the 7DTE chart of premium in the next 7 days. Supply and Demand X-ray is the ITM Call and Put chart of Price, Supply, and Demand. Money Sentiment is Bought Ratio, Net Sentiment, and Netflow Graph for one ticker. Net Premium Heatmap is the strike-by-expiration grid of Net Premium for one ticker. Movers and Shakers Tide is that same chart job for about 18 mega-cap names. Option Chain is the listed book for one ticker. Live Flow is the tape of prints. Unusual Activity keeps only large, sweep, and block prints. Unusual Activity Intraday is the session scan with a date range. $1M Plus Flow keeps only million-dollar premium. 0DTE Flow keeps only prints that expire today. SPX and SPY Flow locks the tape to SPX, SPXW, and SPY. GEX Heatmap is the strike-by-expiration GEX grid with a GEX Details table. GEX and DEX is the Intraday GEX and DEX chart pair with Gamma Flip. Spot Gamma and Delta is the ($) Open Interest versus ($) Volume bar pair with a Spot line. Expected Move is the DEM and VEM band chart by expiration. Put to Call Ratio is the Intraday Put/Call Ratio chart of Traded PCR, OI PCR, and Sentiment PCR. Max Pain is Intraday Max Pain with O-Max Pain, P-Max Pain, and V-Max Pain. Open Interest Scan is the OI per Strike and OI per Expiration chart pair. Volume Scan is the Volume by Strike and Volume by Expiration chart pair. Volatility Analysis is Volatility By Open Interest, Open Interest, and Implied Volatility Smile for one ticker. IV Rank Explorer is Current IV (30D), IV Rank (1Y), period IV Rank, and IV Percentile (1Y) plus the IV Rank chart. Historical Volatility is 10D through 90D Volatility versus Price. Volatility Surface 3D is Raw Contracts and Smoothed Mesh for one ticker.
How Market Cross Flow works on EZPZ
Pick Chart first, then read the orange line on the grid. It is not a score. Most people leave Metric on GEX, Mode on Cumulative, and Timeframe on 5m. If one column looks louder than the other two, scan that column up and down from last price. Change Chart only if you want a different name on the candles. Change Metric only if you want DEX, VEX, CEX, or OI instead of GEX.
How this differs from Gamma Exposure
Gamma Exposure is a strike table you search by ticker. Call Wall, Put Wall, Spot Price, and expected move sit as badges on rows. This page has no ticker search. Chart is SPY, SPXW, or QQQ. The grid always shows all three. Use Gamma Exposure when you want any ticker as a table. Use this page when you want those three names side by side next to candles. Use Market Maker Exposure when you want SPX Flip Level, Call Wall, Put Wall, and Expected Move(VEM) and DEM. Use Ticker Explorer when you want GEX and DEX charts next to quote and unusual activity. Use Largest Premium By Tickers when you still need a name from Bullish Flow or Bearish Flow. Use Index Trader when you want traffic lights. Use Top 20 Optionable when you want Vol. * Price rank. Use Market Wave when you want Current Day Net Call Premium versus Net Put Premium. Use Net Flow Graph when you want Filter ticker plus Cumulative Volume Delta. Use Historical Net Premium when you want the 15D table. Use 0DTE Graph when you want same-day premium. Use Weekly-DTE Graph when you want Friday. Use 7-DTE Graph when you want the next 7 days. Use Supply and Demand X-ray when you want Price, Supply, and Demand on each contract. Use Money Sentiment when you want Bought Ratio and Net Sentiment. Use Net Premium Heatmap when you want the strike-by-expiration grid. Use Movers and Shakers Tide when you want the 18-name basket. Use Live Flow when you want the prints. Use Option Chain when you want the listed book.
Anatomy of the cross map
You do not need every control on every session. Use the tabs if you want a map of the fields.
These controls change the map. They do not score it.
| Control | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Chart | SPY, SPXW, or QQQ. This is the name on the candles and the leftmost grid column. |
| Strikes | How many strikes around last price. 5 is the default. Options run 5 through 50 in steps of 5. |
| Metric | GEX starts selected. DEX, VEX, CEX, and OI are the other choices. |
| Expiry | One listed expiration. The screenshot uses a single date, not a blended book. |
| Mode | Cumulative is the default. Non-Cumulative is the other view. |
| Timeframe | Candle size. 5m starts selected. 1m, 10m, 15m, and 30m are the other choices. |
The left panel is the Chart ticker. Dotted strike lines share a price scale with the grid.
| On the chart | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| Candles | Price for the Chart ticker, bucketed by Timeframe. |
| Green dots | Positive exposure at a strike over the session for the selected Metric and Mode. |
| Red dots | Negative exposure at a strike over the same session. |
The right panel is three columns. Charted ticker first, then the other two.
| On the grid | What you are looking at |
|---|---|
| SPY SPXW QQQ | Each header shows the name, last price, and a badge for the at the money reading. |
| Strike + dollar | Each cell is a strike and a formatted amount for the selected Metric. |
| Green / red | Green is positive. Red is negative. Color is relative to that column, not a second score. |
| Orange line | Last price on the Chart ticker. The ATM row is also highlighted. |

How people actually use it
Read Chart, then the orange line
Check last price on the Chart ticker. Find the orange line. Compare SPY, SPXW, and QQQ on that row before you hunt far from spot.
Leave GEX and Cumulative on
Most sessions start on GEX, Cumulative, and 5m. Change Metric only when you want a different greek. Change Mode only when you want Non-Cumulative.
Switch Chart, not the universe
The universe stays SPY, SPXW, and QQQ. Chart only moves which name owns the candles and the first column.
Use it next to the table and the tape
This page is the three name map. Open Gamma Exposure if you want the strike table on another ticker. Open Live Flow if a strike makes you want the prints.
