GammaDesk Implementation Notes

Editing guide

Start here for common changes:

Task File
Add a dashboard metric client/src/pages/dashboard.tsx
Change the GEX chart client/src/components/gex-chart.tsx
Change mock symbols or calculations server/marketData.ts
Add an API route server/routes.ts
Wire ORATS endpoints server/oratsClient.ts
Change shared response shapes shared/schema.ts
Change theme colors client/src/index.css
Add app navigation client/src/components/app-sidebar.tsx and client/src/App.tsx

Build order for future work

  1. Update shared types in shared/schema.ts.
  2. Update backend route or calculation logic.
  3. Update frontend query and UI.
  4. Run npm run check.
  5. Run npm run build.
  6. Test key screens: Dashboard, Gamma Levels, Expiry Matrix, Screener, Settings.

ORATS wiring checklist

  • Add HTTP helpers to server/oratsClient.ts.
  • Inject ORATS_API_KEY as a token query parameter server-side.
  • Support ORATS_MODE: delayed, live, intraday.
  • Implement typed methods:
    • getTickers
    • getExpirations
    • getStrikes
    • getStrikesByExpiry
    • getMoniesImplied
    • getSummaries
    • getIvRank
  • Add normalizers from ORATS fields to GammaDesk models.
  • Add short-lived cache per symbol and endpoint.
  • Log missing fields without breaking the whole dashboard.
  • Preserve mock fallback for local development.

Calculation roadmap

Current MVP:

  • Per-strike call and put GEX
  • Net GEX
  • Call wall
  • Put wall
  • HVL approximation by cumulative net-GEX crossing
  • Expiration standalone/cumulative views

Next accuracy upgrade:

  • Recalculate total gamma across a hypothetical spot grid.
  • Find true zero-gamma crossing from the spot grid.
  • Add transition zones around HVL.
  • Add C1/P1 through C6/P6 ranked wall levels.
  • Add absolute GEX levels Ab1 through Ab10.

Product roadmap

  1. Real ORATS connector.
  2. Dedicated /api/nt8/levels/:symbol endpoint.
  3. Watchlists and saved symbol groups.
  4. Alerts when price nears HVL, call wall, or put wall.
  5. Multi-user accounts and billing only after data licensing is clarified.
