spot gamma our approach to positional analysis will inform you as to when large institutions will have to buy stock and how much stock they will have to buy and at what price based on spot gamma levels and we provide this information to you for new ways to profit you may ask why do large investors have to buy stock well there is a core principle behind how options trades happen which is not widely understood regardless of your trading platform almost every option trade passes through a certain type of Trader called a market maker market makers are
in the business of making a commission on every trade they are not in the business of betting on a stock going up so after the market maker sells an option to you they have to protect their risk they will protect their own risk by using what is called a hedging strategy simply put they will have to buy or sell stock the math behind their stock purchases is driven by one Greek letter named you guessed it gamma here at spot gamma we apply our proprietary algorithms to show you the stock buying and selling activity so you
can optimize your trading decisions to further explain positional analysis let's take an example of how positional analysis differs from fundamental or technical analysis by reviewing how we approach Tesla for illustration purposes let's start with a fundamental investor the fundamental investor cares about how many cars Tesla will sell and how they may grow their technology versus competitors the technical investor cares about how the stocks price has changed based on volume price or different charting techniques without regard for the car sales for spot gamma and our analysis we look at investors positions specifically how all players are
