Frequently Asked Questions
What is net delta exposure (DEX) for MA?
Net delta exposure (DEX) measures the total directional bias of all options positions held by dealers for MA on NYSE/NASDAQ. It represents the aggregate number of underlying shares (or equivalent contracts) that dealers must hold to remain delta-neutral across the entire options chain. The current net DEX for MA is −151K (net short delta (bearish dealer positioning)). Positive DEX means dealers are net long the underlying; negative DEX means they are net short.
How is DEX different from GEX for MA?
GEX (gamma exposure) measures the rate of change of dealer hedging flows — it tells you how much dealers will buy or sell for each 1% move in MA. DEX (delta exposure) measures the current absolute directional position of dealers — it tells you the total long or short bias right now. GEX predicts the magnitude of hedging activity; DEX reveals the current directional tilt. Together they give a complete picture of dealer positioning in MA options.
How do I use net DEX to trade MA?
Strikes with large positive DEX (dealers heavily long delta there) act as support — dealers will buy on dips at those levels to maintain their hedge. Strikes with large negative DEX act as resistance — dealers sell into rallies. A large positive total net DEX suggests overall upward hedging pressure on MA; a large negative reading suggests downward pressure. This is particularly useful when combined with the GEX and OI walls charts.
