SpotGamma's tools are built around S&P 500 options data — which maps directly to ES (E-mini S&P 500 futures). If you trade ES, all of SpotGamma's index-level tools apply to you.

Key tools for ES futures traders

1. TRACE

TRACE is the primary tool for ES traders. It visualizes gamma-based support and resistance zones for the S&P 500 in real time, showing where market maker hedging creates buying or selling pressure.

• Blue zones below price = buying support (market makers hedging long, price tends to find support)
• Blue zones above price = selling resistance (market makers must sell to hedge)
• Red zones = selling pressure or elevated volatility areas

These zones translate directly to ES price levels — use them as your intraday support/resistance map.

2. Key Levels (Call Wall, Put Wall, Vol Trigger)

The SpotGamma Key Levels page publishes the most important gamma levels for SPX each day — Call Wall, Put Wall, Volatility Trigger, and Key Gamma Strike. These are the levels where dealer hedging is most concentrated and where price tends to react. Convert SPX levels to ES by subtracting approximately the standard SPX/ES point differential.

3. HIRO

HIRO measures real-time delta hedging flow for indices including SPX/ES. Use it to gauge whether options flow is adding upward or downward pressure on the index in real time — particularly useful for timing entries and exits on ES.

4. Founder's Note

Brent Kochuba publishes a pre-market note every trading day covering key SPX/ES levels, positioning, and flow dynamics. This is the fastest way to get oriented before the open with a gamma-informed view of where ES may find support or resistance that day.

ES vs SPX levels

All SpotGamma levels are published in SPX terms. ES futures trade at a small premium or discount to SPX (the basis), so subtract the current ES/SPX spread to convert. During extended trading hours (ETH), you can use the ES front-month contract minus the ESB tick to get the SPX equivalent price.

TradingView integration

SpotGamma's key levels can also be plotted directly on ES charts in TradingView. See: How do I switch to ES Emini Futures on TradingView?
