GEX and Vanna Levels Indicator for SPX
Description:
The GEX and Vanna Levels Indicator is a daily-updated market positioning tool designed specifically for SPX (S&P 500 Index) traders. It visualizes critical gamma exposure (GEX) and vanna levels, providing insights into dealer positioning, volatility dynamics, and potential market inflection points.

Since market positioning changes daily, all key levels (zero vanna flips, gamma support/resistance, pivots, and magnet levels) must be calculated and input manually each day to reflect the most accurate and relevant market conditions.

This script helps traders identify areas where market makers are likely to adjust their hedging strategies, influencing price movements. It incorporates zero vanna flips, gamma support/resistance zones, key pivots, and magnet levels, all of which play a crucial role in understanding intraday and swing trading conditions.

Key Features & How It Works:
🔹 Zero Vanna Flips (Support/Resistance) – Levels where volatility impacts price movement, requiring vol compression for a breakout.
🔹 Gamma Support & Resistance – Zones where dealer hedging pressure may pin price action or accelerate moves.
🔹 Main Pivot Level – A key inflection point derived from market positioning; price movement above or below this level dictates direction.
🔹 Upside & Downside Magnets – Identified areas where price is likely to be attracted based on hedging flows and positioning.
🔹 Iron Condor Visualization – Displays key ranges of customer and market maker positions to analyze volatility compression/expansion areas.
🔹 Custom Alerts – Notifies traders when price breaks critical GEX and vanna levels.

How to Use This Indicator:
1️⃣ Update Levels Daily – Before each trading session, input the latest zero vanna, gamma, and pivot levels for accurate analysis.
2️⃣ Monitor Zero Vanna Flips (6121, 6071): These act as key support and resistance zones that can only be broken if volatility contracts.
3️⃣ Pay Attention to the Main Pivot (6085.58): A crucial level that determines directional bias—price holding above it favors bullish conditions.
4️⃣ Track Gamma Support/Resistance (6107-6115): If price holds in this zone, market makers may keep price range-bound.
5️⃣ Watch Magnet Levels (6045, 6186.4): If price breaks key levels, it is likely to gravitate toward these magnets.
6️⃣ Iron Condor Ranges (6030-6035 & 6080-6085): Understanding these zones helps traders identify potential volatility suppression areas.

✅ Intraday & Swing Traders – Helps identify key reversal levels and potential price magnet areas.
