Options Greeks AnalyzerOptions Greeks Analyzer (Training & Learning Guide)
________________________________________
1. Introduction
Options trading is advanced compared to regular stock trading, and one of the most important aspects is Options Greeks. Greeks are mathematical values that measure how the price of an option will react to changes in various factors such as the underlying asset’s price, volatility, interest rates, and time to expiry.
This Options Greeks Analyzer tool is built using TradingView Pine Script v5. It serves as a real time training and analysis dashboard that helps learners visualize how options greeks behave, how option prices change, and how traders can make informed decisions.
📌 Educational Disclaimer:
This tool is only for training and learning purposes. It is not a financial advice tool nor to be used for live trading decisions. The data shown is theoretical Black Scholes model calculations, which may differ from actual option market prices.
________________________________________
2. How the Tool Works
The Options Greeks Analyzer is divided into different modules. Below is a step by step walkthrough:
________________________________________
Step 1: User Inputs
• Implied Volatility (IV%) — You can manually enter volatility, which is the most important factor in option pricing. Higher IV = higher option premium.
• Expiry Selection — Choose from preset durations like 7D, 14D, 30D etc. Days to expiry directly affect time decay (Theta).
• Strike Price Mode — You can select either:
o ATM (At-the-Money = Current price of stock/index)
o Custom strike (Enter your own strike price)
• Risk-Free Rate (%) — A small interest rate factor (like government bond yield) used for theoretical valuation.
• Table Customization — Choose table size, position, and whether to show price lines for easy visibility.
________________________________________
Step 2: Market Data & Volatility
• The tool takes the current market price (Spot Price) as input.
• It calculates realized volatility from historical price fluctuations (using past 30 bars/log returns).
• Implied Volatility (manual input) is then compared to realized vol:
o If IV > Historical Volatility → Market pricing is “expensive” (HIGH IV RANK).
o If IV < Historical Volatility → Market is “cheap” (LOW IV RANK).
o Otherwise, it’s MEDIUM.
📌 Why it matters?
Traders can decide whether buying or selling options is favorable. Beginners learn that timing entry with volatility is more critical than just looking at market direction.
________________________________________
Step 3: Black-Scholes Formula
The core engine uses the Black-Scholes model, a mathematical formula widely used to compute option fair prices.
It uses the following inputs:
• Current price (Spot)
• Strike Price
• Time to Expiry (T)
• Risk Free Rate (r)
• Implied Volatility (σ)
This produces:
• Call Option Price
• Put Option Price
📌 This teaches learners how premiums are derived theoretically and why the same strike can have different values depending on IV and time.
________________________________________
Step 4: Option Greeks Calculation
The tool computes the first order Greeks:
• Delta → Measures how much the option price changes when the underlying stock moves by 1 point.
(Call Delta ranges 0–1, Put Delta ranges -1 to 0).
• Gamma → Sensitivity of Delta to price change. A measure of volatility risk.
• Theta → Time decay. Shows how much value option loses as each day passes. Calls and Puts have negative Theta (decay).
• Vega → Measures how sensitive option price is to volatility changes.
• Rho → Interest rate sensitivity. Mostly minor in equity options but important for training.
📌 New traders learn how each factor impacts profits/losses. Instead of random guessing, they see mathematical impact in numbers.
________________________________________
Step 5: Dashboard & Visualization
The tool builds a professional dashboard table on the chart.
It shows categories such as:
1. Asset Info — Spot, Strike, DTE (days to expiry), IV%, IV Rank, 1-Day Trend, Moneyness (ATM/OTM/ITM).
2. Option Prices — Call, Put, Break-even levels, Time Value, Expected Move (%), Realized vs Implied Vol.
3. Greeks with Visual Progress Bars — Easily shows Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta, Rho in intuitive graphical representations.
4. Status Bar — Suggests theoretical bias like:
o HIGH IV → Favor Option Selling
o LOW IV → Favor Option Buying
o MEDIUM → Neutral observation
5. Recommendation Line — Offers training-based suggestions like “Buy Straddles”, “Sell Call Spreads”, etc. These are not signals, but scenarios to learn strategies.
________________________________________
3. How It Helps Beginners
1. Learn Greeks in Action:
Beginners often memorize formulas but never see real-time changes. This dashboard updates every bar to show how Greeks change dynamically.
2. Compare Volatilities:
Traders understand difference between historical vs implied volatility and why option premiums behave differently.
3. Understand Risk Levels:
The tool highlights when Gamma risk is high (danger for sellers) or when Theta is most favorable.
4. Training Mode for Strategies:
Helps beginners experiment by changing IV, strike, expiry and seeing how straddles, spreads, naked options would behave theoretically.
5. Prepares Before Live Trading:
Safe environment to practice option analysis without risking capital.
________________________________________
4. Educational Use Cases
• Scenario 1: Change expiry from 7D to 30D — see how Theta becomes slower for longer expiries.
• Scenario 2: Increase IV from 25% to 80% — watch how option premiums inflate, and recommendation changes from “Buy” to “Sell”.
• Scenario 3: Select OTM vs ITM strikes — check how delta moves from near 0 to near 1.
By running these scenarios, learners understand why professional traders hedge Greeks instead of directional gambling.

Support and Resistance levels from Options DataINTRODUCTION
This script is designed to visualize key support and resistance levels derived from options data on TradingView charts. It overlays lines, labels, and boxes to highlight levels such as Put Walls (gamma support), Call Walls (gamma resistance), Gamma Flip points, Vanna levels, and more.
These levels are intended to help traders identify potential areas of price magnetism, reversal, or breakout based on options market dynamics. All calculations and visualizations are based on user-provided data pasted into the input field, as Pine Script cannot directly fetch external options data due to platform limitations (explained below).
For convenience, my website allows users to interact with a bot that will generate the string for up to 30 tickers at once getting nearly real-time data on demand (data is cached for 15min). With the output string pasted into this indicator, it's a bliss to shuffle through your portfolio and see those levels for each ticker.
The script is open-source under TradingView's terms, allowing users to study, modify, and improve it. It draws inspiration from common options-derived metrics like gamma exposure and vanna, which are widely discussed in financial literature. No external code is copied without rights; all logic is original or based on standard mathematical formulas.
How the Options Levels Are Calculated
The levels displayed by this script are not computed within Pine Script itself—instead, they rely on pre-calculated values provided by the user (via a pasted data string). These values are derived from options chain data fetched from financial APIs (e.g., using libraries like yfinance in Python). Here's a step-by-step overview of how these levels are generally calculated externally before being input into the script:
Fetching Options Data:
Historical and current options chain data for a ticker (e.g., strikes, open interest, volume, implied volatility, expirations) is retrieved for near-term expirations (e.g., up to 90 days).
Current stock price is obtained from recent history.
Gamma Support (Put Wall) and Resistance (Call Wall):
Gamma Calculation: For each option, gamma (the rate of change of delta) is computed using the Black-Scholes formula:
gamma = N'(d1) / (S * sigma * sqrt(T))
where S is the stock price, K is the strike, T is time to expiration (in years), sigma is implied volatility, r is the risk-free rate (e.g., 0.0445), and N'(d1) is the normal probability density function.
Weighted gamma is multiplied by open interest and aggregated by strike.
The Put Wall is the strike below the current price with the highest weighted gamma from puts (acting as support).
The Call Wall is the strike above the current price with the highest weighted gamma from calls (acting as resistance).
Short-term versions focus on strikes closer to the money (e.g., within 10-15% of the price).
Gamma Flip Level:
Net dealer gamma exposure (GEX) is calculated across all strikes:
GEX = sum (gamma * OI * 100 * S^2 * sign * decay)
where sign is +1 for calls/-1 for puts, and decay is 1 / sqrt(T).
The flip point is the price where net GEX changes sign (from positive to negative or vice versa), interpolated between strikes.
Vanna Levels:
Vanna (sensitivity of delta to volatility) is calculated:
vanna = -N'(d1) * d2 / sigma
where d2 = d1 - sigma * sqrt(T).
Weighted by open interest, the highest positive and negative vanna strikes are identified.
Other Levels:
S1/R1: Significant strikes with high combined open interest and volume (80% OI + 20% volume), below/above price for support/resistance.
Implied Move: ATM implied volatility scaled by S * sigma * sqrt(d/365) (e.g., for 7 days).
Call/Put Ratio: Total call contracts divided by put contracts (OI + volume).
IV Percentage: Average ATM implied volatility.
Options Activity Level: Average contracts per unique strike, binned into levels (0-4).
Stop Loss: Dynamically set below the lowest support (e.g., Put Wall, Gamma Flip), adjusted by IV (tighter in low IV).
Fib Target: 1.618 extension from Put Wall to Call Wall range.
Previous day levels are stored for comparison (e.g., to detect Call Wall movement >2.5% for alerts).
Effect as Support and Resistance in Technical Trading
Options levels like gamma walls influence price action due to market maker hedging:
Put Wall (Gamma Support): High put gamma below price creates a "magnet" effect—market makers buy stock as price falls, providing support. Traders might look for bounces here as entry points for longs.
Call Wall (Gamma Resistance): High call gamma above price leads to selling pressure from hedging, acting as resistance. Rejections here could signal trims, sells or even shorts.
Gamma Flip: Where gamma exposure flips sign, often a volatility pivot—crossing it can accelerate moves (bullish above, bearish below).
Vanna Levels: Positive/negative vanna indicate volatility sensitivity; crosses may signal regime shifts.
Implied Move: Shows expected range; prices outside suggest overextension.
S1/R1 and Fib Target: Volume/OI clusters act as classic S/R; Fib extensions project upside targets post-breakout.
In trading, these are not guarantees—combine with TA (e.g., volume, trends). High activity levels imply stronger effects; low CP ratio suggests bearish sentiment. Alerts trigger on proximities/crosses for awareness, not advice.
Limitations of the TradingView Platform for Data Pulling
TradingView's Pine Script is sandboxed for security and performance:
No direct internet access or API calls (e.g., can't fetch yfinance data in-script).
Limited to chart data/symbol info; no real-time options chains.
Inputs are static per load; updates require manual pasting.
Caching isn't persistent across sessions.
This prevents dynamic data pulling, ensuring scripts remain lightweight but requiring external tools for fresh data.
Creative Solution for On-Demand Data Pulling
To overcome these limitations, users can use external tools or scripts (e.g., Python-based) to fetch and compute levels on demand. The tool processes tickers, generates a formatted string (e.g., "TICKER:level1,level2,...;TIMESTAMP:unix;"), and users paste it into the script's input. This keeps data fresh without violating platform rules, as computation happens off-platform. For example, run a local script to query APIs and output the string—adaptable for any ticker.
Script Functionality Breakdown
Inputs: Custom data string (parsed for levels/timestamp); toggles for short-term/previous/Vanna/stop loss; style options (colors, transparency).
Parsing: Extracts levels for the chart symbol; gets timestamp for "updated ago" display.
Drawing: Lines/labels for levels; boxes for gamma zones/implied move; clears old elements on updates.
Info Panel: Top-right summary with metrics (CP ratio, IV, distances, activity); emojis for quick status.
Alerts: Conditions for proximities, crosses, bounces (e.g., 0.5% bounce from Put Wall).
Performance: Uses vars for persistence; efficient for real-time.

Fear & Greed Oscillator — LEAP Puts (v6, manual DMI/ADX)Fear & Greed Oscillator — LEAP Puts (v6, manual DMI/ADX) is a Puts-focused mirror of the Calls version, built to flag top risk and momentum rollovers for timing LEAP Put entries. It outputs a smoothed composite from −100 to +100 using slower MACD, manual DMI/ADX (Wilder), RSI and Stoch RSI extremes, OBV distribution vs. accumulation, and volume spike & direction, with optional Put/Call Ratio and IV Rank inputs. All thresholds, weights, and smoothing match the Calls script for 1:1 customization, and a component table shows what’s driving the score. Reading is simple: higher values = rising top-risk (red shading above “Top-Risk”); lower values = deep dip / bounce risk (green shading). Built-in alerts cover Top-Risk, Deep Dip, and zero-line crosses for clear, actionable cues.
LEAP Put Edge — Top Risk Oscillator (v6, divergences + HTF)Pinpoint market tops with precision — a composite oscillator built to spot exhaustion, bearish divergences, and high-probability LEAP Put entry zones.
The LEAP Put Edge — Top Risk Oscillator is designed specifically to help identify high-probability entry points for long-dated Put options (LEAPs) by highlighting exhaustion at market tops. Unlike generic overbought/oversold tools, it combines slower MACD and DMI/ADX for trend quality, RSI and Stochastic RSI for momentum extremes, volume spike and upper-wick exhaustion signals for capitulation risk, and optional bearish divergences in RSI and MACD to confirm weakening strength. The output is a smoothed composite score scaled from -100 to +100, where higher values indicate rising top-risk and bearish edge conditions. Clear thresholds, color-coded plots, and built-in alerts make it straightforward and practical for traders seeking simple, actionable signals to time Put entries with confidence.

Adaptive Square Levels - for all InstrumentsDescription:
The Adaptive Square Levels indicator generates mathematically derived horizontal trendlines based on perfect squares (1², 2², 3², …) anchored to the first trading day’s open of each month.
✨ Key Features
📐 Adaptive Anchoring: Locks onto the nearest square number to the monthly open.
🔁 Dual Context: Displays both current month and previous month levels for comparison.
➕➖ Expansion: Automatically plots ±10 square levels around the anchor.
🟧 Highlighting: Multiples of 3² (9, 36, 81, …) are marked in orange for quick recognition.
⭐ Focus Line: The nearest square is bold and labeled with a ★.
🏷️ Readable Labels: Large fonts ensure values are clearly visible, even on high-value instruments.
📊 Finite Trendlines: Levels extend only within the month, not as infinite rays.
⚙️ Configurable: Adjustable max price coverage up to 250,000 (default) to suit stocks, indices, futures, or commodities.
⚙️ How It Works
At the start of a new month, the script locks the opening price of the first bar.
It finds the nearest perfect square to that open.
It then plots 10 square levels above and below the anchor.
Current month levels extend to today’s bar; previous month levels stop at month end.
The nearest square line is emphasized with a bold ★ label.
🎯 How to Use
Support & Resistance: Use square levels as natural price magnets or turning points.
Monthly Structure: Compare previous vs. current month grids for context.
Confluence Tool: Combine with price action, Fibonacci retracements, or market profile.
Focus Points: Pay special attention to the ★ bold nearest-square — it often becomes the key pivot for the month.
📚 Study Note: Why Square Numbers?
Square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, …) create a nonlinear but structured grid.
Unlike linear step levels (e.g., round numbers), square levels:
Expand naturally as prices rise.
Provide distinct mathematical anchors.
Have been observed to align with natural support/resistance zones.
This indicator makes square mathematics practical by adapting them to live market opens.

Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI)The Overnight Gap Dominance Indicator (OGDI) measures the relative volatility of overnight price gaps versus intraday price movements for a given security, such as SPY or SPX. It uses a rolling standard deviation of absolute overnight percentage changes divided by the standard deviation of absolute intraday percentage changes over a customizable window. This helps traders identify periods where overnight gaps predominate, suggesting potential opportunities for strategies leveraging extended market moves.
Instructions
A
pply the indicator to your TradingView chart for the desired security (e.g., SPY or SPX).
Adjust the "Rolling Window" input to set the lookback period (default: 60 bars).
Modify the "1DTE Threshold" and "2DTE+ Threshold" inputs to tailor the levels at which you switch from 0DTE to 1DTE or multi-DTE strategies (default: 0.5 and 0.6).
Observe the OGDI line: values above the 1DTE threshold suggest favoring 1DTE strategies, while values above the 2DTE+ threshold indicate multi-DTE strategies may be more effective.
Use in conjunction with low VIX environments and uptrend legs for optimal results.
SPX → NQ Levels ConverterSPX → NQ Levels Converter is a Pine Script indicator that projects key S&P 500 (SPX) levels onto the NASDAQ 100 (NQ) chart using a configurable conversion ratio.
• Dynamic ratio: calculates the live SPX/NQ ratio in real time.
• Static ratio: allows manual input of a fixed ratio.
• Supports up to 10 custom SPX levels, automatically converted into their equivalent NQ values.
• Each level is displayed with a line and label (SPX → NQ) with independent color settings.
• Advanced visualization controls:
• line extension (right, left, both, or fixed)
• line length & placement
• label side & offset.
• Lines and labels auto-update on every bar to stay accurate over time.
Use case: particularly useful for traders who track SPX option levels or support/resistance zones but execute trades on the NQ.
Monthly Expected Move (IV + Realized)What it does
Overlays 1-month expected move bands on price using both forward-looking options data and backward-looking realized movement:
IV30 band — from your pasted 30-day implied vol (%)
Straddle band — from your pasted ATM ~30-DTE call+put total
HV band — from Historical Volatility computed on-chart
ATR band — from ATR% extrapolated to ~1 trading month
Use it to quickly answer: “How much could this stock move in ~1 month?” and “Is the market now pricing more/less movement than we’ve actually been getting?”
Inputs (quick)
Implied (forward-looking)
Use IV30 (%) — paste annualized IV30 from your options platform.
Use ATM 30-DTE Straddle — paste Call+Put total (per share) at the ATM strike, ~30 DTE.
Realized (backward-looking)
HV lookback (days) — default 21 (≈1 trading month).
ATR length — default 14.
Note: TradingView can’t fetch option data automatically. Paste the IV30 % or the straddle total you read from your broker (use Mark/mid prices).
How it’s calculated
IV band (±%) = IV30 × √(21/252) (annualized → ~1-month).
Straddle band (±%) = (ATM Call + Put) / Spot to that expiry (≈30 DTE).
HV band (±%) = stdev(log returns, N) × √252 × √(21/252).
ATR band (±%) = (ATR(len)/Close) × √21.
All bands are plotted as upper/lower envelopes around price, plus an on-chart readout of each ±% for quick scanning.
How to use it (at a glance)
IV/Straddle bands wider than HV/ATR → market expects bigger movement than recent actuals (possible catalyst/expansion).
All bands narrow → likely a low-mover; look elsewhere if you want action.
HV > IV → realized swings exceed current pricing (mean-reversion or vol bleed often follows).
Pro tips
For ATM straddle: pick the expiry closest to ~30 DTE, use the ATM strike (closest to spot), and add Call Mark + Put Mark (per share). If the exact ATM strike isn’t quoted, average the two neighboring strikes.
The simple straddle/spot heuristic can read slightly below the IV-derived 1σ; that’s normal.
Keep the chart on daily timeframe—the math assumes trading-day conventions (~252/yr, ~21/mo).

- Solid blue lines on the third Friday of each month (typical monthly opex).
- Dashed orange lines on the Wednesday ~30 days before next month’s opex (typical VIX expiration schedule).
- Green shading during a pre-expiration window when vanna/charm effects are often strongest.
- Red shading during the post-expiration "window of non-strength" often observed into the Tuesday after opex.
How it works
1. Monthly opex is detected when Friday falls between the 15th–21st of the month.
2. VIX expiration is calculated by finding next month’s opex date, then subtracting 30 calendar days and marking that Wednesday.
3. Vanna/charm window (green) : starts on the Monday of the week before opex and ends on Tuesday of opex week.
4. Post-opex weakness window (red) : starts Wednesday of opex week and ends Tuesday after opex.
How to use
- Add to any chart/timeframe.
- Adjust inputs to toggle VIX/opex lines, choose colors, and fine-tune the start/end offsets for shaded windows.
- This is an educational visualization of typical timing and not a trading signal.
Limitations
- Exchange holidays and contract-specific exceptions can shift expirations; this script uses standard calendar rules.
- No forward-looking data is used; all dates are derived from historical and current bar time.
- Past patterns do not guarantee future behavior.
Originality
Provides a single, adjustable visualization combining opex, VIX expiration, and configurable vanna/charm/weakness windows into one tool. Fully explained so non-coders can use it without reading the source code.
