Hey Matt -
I've heard you refer to them in newsletters a few times, but
I'm always scratching my head when I look at them later on. I can't
be the only one.
Is there a video in the ed section on these?
If not would you please offer a quick break down the meaning
of the colors on the vol bars in the public Tradingview charts?
Thanks.

These charts are cool @elementsiz, please keep sharing.
Took me a minute to *think* I understood it... For anyone
scratching their head, here is what ChatGTP says:
Gamma Flip Line
(red)
Gamma Flip:
681.74
This is the
strike where total gamma
shifts negative → positive.
Below 681.74(red
background):
Negative gamma
zone → volatile, bigger swings
Above
681.74(green background):
Positive gamma
zone → stabilizing hedging flows
Green vertical
line
Last Price:
682.04
Price is
just abovethe
gamma flip → meaning:
? Market is currently in
positive
gammaterritory
?? Not far above the
volatility zone — small drop could re-enter negative gamma
? What This Implies for

Sorry Matt and BPT community if my comment stirred any emotion
other than a dismissive smirk.
I choose to follow price action over politics.
FWIW I signed up for BPT before the first Trump admin with
the name Oragemann because I am from Syracuse, NY. There was
no political bias that I intended in my comment.
Again, sorry all. Let's stay focused and make some
money.

How's that vix correlation looking after the jobs drama?
Also - BBB news in the wings - reasonable to assume some kind
of reaction once it is official.

Beat down - The long
NFLX--has lost 200B in cap last 6 months
Posted by Orangeman on 12th of Feb 2026 at 10:08 am
Beat down - The long slide continues..
Glad I decided to wait for the close before jumping in on that upside pop Tues.
Nice pop on NFLX
Posted by Orangeman on 10th of Feb 2026 at 10:15 am
Could the long slide be over?
SMR
Posted by Orangeman on 9th of Feb 2026 at 10:36 am
At an interesting spot.
On the daily - Carved out a higher low last week (for now at least). Up against a confluence of MAs overhead.
Good catch. Thanks

This worked out well so far - thanks Matt.
Got in at 8.4, stop at 9.85 for now...
KSCP - was an idea
Posted by Orangeman on 11th of Nov 2025 at 02:54 pm
KSCP - was an idea from a while back I have kept an eye on. Built up a small pos when it was below $4.50.
20 and 50 overhead on the daily, but nice action today.
@steve - what's your experience

@steve - what's your experience with the inverse (FBU).
Example QCOM has a long wick candle from 27 Oct. Looks to me like that's a good upside target over time.
Interested in your thoughts on whether one direction is more reliable than the other.
Gamma
682 close... Gamma wins again

USAS is another low-price name
PPTA upside could expand above 15 with gap to fill
Posted by Orangeman on 13th of Jul 2025 at 12:20 pm
USAS is another low-price name in that sector that started heating up in Q2.
A little stretched right now. Next major level coming up around $1.25/30
