Frequently Asked Questions
What is net delta exposure (DEX) for WMT?
Net delta exposure (DEX) measures the total directional bias of all options positions held by dealers for WMT 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 WMT is +2.6M (net long delta (bullish 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 WMT?
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 WMT. 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 WMT options.
How do I use net DEX to trade WMT?
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 WMT; a large negative reading suggests downward pressure. This is particularly useful when combined with the GEX and OI walls charts.
