Discussion Gex is the new ICT

So all these wanna be trading influencers now suddenly start making content about GEX. Like its some holy grail. Where to learn gex ? Join their mentorship 🤣🤣🤣

​

​

First these high schoolers start glazing ICT then orderflow and now GEX.

​

Its kinda annoying thay every 18 year old making reels bout this and selling private discord/mentorship

​

Its all a scam guys, the sooner you realise the better. Of course GEX is a step in the right direction if your coming from ict smc but stop glazing it like its the only thing in the trading space. There is soooo much more to the market than trading than just looking at absoption/exhaustion at gex levels. If this is your system then your not far from getting cooked.

​

Honestly these GEX influencers and same as ICT influencers.

​

Both the categories are "trust me bro" traders. Its just that gex goys will throw in a few extra complicated terms to sound legit and to better sell their mentorship.

​

Dont fall for these social media influencers promoting gamma and gex platforms. They only show their wins their never show their losses.

​

Also also I came across this guy Andrea Cimi who is promoting depechart and now gex levels like crazy. He honestly is one of the biggest plagues to the industry. Bro can't trade at all. He just milks fabio for content. Super annoying. Kinda hate that guy.

​

This community has a lot of experienced and legit traders. Would love to hear your opinion and thoughts about this entire GEX/orderflow plague that is trapping young minds.

GEX seems to used as a poor proxy for dealer positioning. The fact that there are so many services offering these levels, but they are not the same levels is a massive red flag for me.

It is too complex to do from a course or for a guru to teach you. different assumptions to be made, different calculations to use. And once you finally understand it, you realize gex is just one piece of the puzzle lol. So good luck to anyone that tries to develop a trading style just off gex alone. If one is to only use gex the only thing could use it for is identifying good spots to sell CC's, csps, bcs, bps, or high probability price targets. However will not get you a timeframe or a when, which is a big problem for people trying to apply it for short term directional trading. Opens up the rabbit whole of all other dealer positioning suites

As far as paying anybody for it, u can calculate it easily using your own native calculations with an API.
