QuantGrid Docs
How to install QuantGrid, activate your license, and use dealer-flow metrics like GEX, Vanna, and Charm to guide your trades.
1. Getting started
- Create an account and choose a plan.
- After checkout, go to Account to see your license token.
- Visit Downloads and install the QuantGrid desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux.
- Open the app and paste your license token to unlock your plan.
2. License token
Your license token is what connects the desktop app to your subscription on quantgrid.app.
- You can always re-copy it from Account → License token.
- Treat it like an API key – don't share it publicly or post it in screenshots.
- If your subscription changes (upgrade / downgrade / cancel), the app will respect the new plan the next time it validates the token.
3. Reading dealer-flow metrics
GEX (Gamma Exposure)
GEX measures how option dealer hedging pressure may pull price toward or away from certain strike zones. Large positive GEX often corresponds to “sticky” ranges; large negative GEX can mean more fragile, directional moves.
Vanna
Vanna describes how dealer positioning changes when both price and implied volatility move. Strong supportive Vanna can make dips “stickier” to the upside; negative Vanna can reinforce downside moves when vol expands.
Charm
Charm tracks how delta exposure decays over time, even if price doesn't move. Intraday charm flows can reveal where dealers may need to buy or sell futures as time passes, creating directional pressure into key levels.
QuantGrid combines these with proprietary regime / rotation factors so you can quickly see when markets are more likely to trend vs. mean-revert around dealer positions.
4. What's coming next
We're adding 60-second video walk-throughs, a Morning Playbook example, and deeper docs for each panel (GEX, Vanna, Charm, rotation, regimes). For now, the best path is:
- Get the app installed and license activated.
- Watch how SPX reacts around major GEX / Charm levels intraday.
- Use QuantGrid as a context layer on top of your existing setups.
