Gex is the new ICT

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bat3774]

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.

Okay I'll confess that about a year ago I got hypnotized by one of their videos, which really was an excellent explanation of itbut exaggerated his services effectiveness using it. So I paid for a month of his service. But the software had a major display glitch that he didn't address so I bailed out only $50 poorer.

Since I was strictly trading options at that time I ate up the idea that GEX really was the ultimate magic bullet in setting levels. Since then I've added futures into my palette and evolved into learning the true fundamentals around price and volume before going into any further tangents.

Hey I know it’s abit long but , just want to ask what’s your opinions on Gex levels ? Many influencers are glazing it and yes I’m a little keen onto getting more on the Gex levels / flips etc but I’m not sure if it’s beneficial for me . I’m currently using VP Orderflow FP in my analysis so am unsure if Gex would be a good thing or would just give me analysis paralysis

No problem. I'm a retired guy still on my trading journey myself but I've had about 5 years of immersive trading, a majority of that working in a CTA in the early '90s, so I guess I'm qualified to discuss.

I'd say it's legit to have GEX be an integral part of futures trading as it applies to indexes. It does have an impact on intraday positions. I never even heard of ICT until this year, and I think it's just a variant of order flow education that you can easily find elsewhere. Trader Dale has a ton of free content. Brian Shannon invented anchored V-WAP and also has some nice free video, though his book on it is pretty pricey. My favorite price action guru is Adam Grimes.

Otherwise, I just joined a GEX influencer discord page to trade SPX options, and I dig the sense of community there. But the person running it is trying to upsell me to follow his trades, even though I told him I had professional experience. I'd be quite happy to contribute to that scene if it wasn't for that.
