ES GEX levels
ES GEX levels are the S&P 500 gamma exposure levels expressed in ES/MES futures points: the same SPX map, in the units futures traders use.
What they mean for ES traders
Futures traders watch the same S&P 500 option hedging as index traders, but they need the levels in their own units: ES/MES futures points, not index points.
One S&P 500 map, in ES points
LiveGexLevels keeps one map of the S&P 500 family, built from index (SPX, XSP), ETF (SPY) and futures (ES, MES) options, in SPX points. For ES, each level is expressed in ES/MES futures points; MES uses the same points as ES.
ES and MES options are one of the three markets behind the map and count once together. Each GEX level says how many markets agree on it.
Outside the cash session
The map is updated within seconds during the US cash session. When index options trade overnight, the walls are recomputed on thin overnight trading. When only futures trade, the levels are the evening photo of the last session: a reference from the close, not a fresh reading.
Prices and where to see the map
LiveGexLevels publishes no ES quote; take the futures price from your broker. In the app, the levels are drawn on the US500 chart, a synthetic reference for the S&P 500. Through the MCP server, an AI assistant asks for the ES or MES space and every price comes back in futures points.
Questions and answers
Why are ES GEX levels different from SPX GEX levels?
Because they are expressed in ES/MES futures points, not index points. The level is the same place on the S&P 500 map; only the units change.
Are ES GEX levels built from ES options only?
No. They come from one S&P 500 map in which ES and MES options are the futures market, alongside index and ETF options.
Are ES levels updated overnight?
When index options trade overnight, the walls are recomputed on thin overnight trading. When only futures trade, the levels are the last session’s evening photo.
