Crypto Gamma overview
Crypto Gamma provides options-derived Gamma context for supported crypto instruments.
The currently Gamma-enabled crypto instruments are:
- BTCUSDT;
- ETHUSDT.
Other crypto instruments can appear elsewhere in TensorAlgo without having Crypto Gamma coverage.
What the card can show
Depending on current data availability, Crypto Gamma can include:
- spot price and update age;
- Net Gamma and total absolute Gamma;
- total Call Gamma and total Put Gamma;
- ATM implied volatility;
- open interest, option count, and strike count;
- Call and Put open-interest totals and proportions;
- named levels such as Gamma Flip, Call Wall, Put Wall, and Max Pain;
- each named level's distance from spot in points and percentage;
- key structure grouped by shared strike;
- a nearest-level ladder with local ranking for the displayed rows.
The exact layout can differ from the futures GEX / OI card because the underlying crypto options market and expiry structure are different.
Continuous markets
Crypto trades continuously, but the options context can still change as:
- expiry approaches;
- implied volatility changes;
- positioning changes;
- the underlying price moves.
Crypto Gamma and price data
Crypto Gamma and live crypto price streaming are related but separate capabilities.
A price stream does not automatically mean that Gamma data is available for the same symbol.
Important limitation
Crypto Gamma is market context, not a guaranteed signal.
Use it with a complete Playbook, clear invalidation, and appropriate risk controls.
