Market Makers Must Hedge. Get Ahead of Them.
When options trades, market makers take the other side. To manage that risk, they hedge — and that hedging moves markets. VS3D shows you exactly where.
Options Trade, Positions Build
Market makers are on the other side of nearly every options trade. As volume flows in, their positions accumulate across strikes and expirations — creating concentrated exposure at specific price levels.
Hedging Creates Pressure
To stay neutral, market makers must continuously hedge their Greek exposure. Short gamma forces them to buy rallies and sell dips. Long gamma does the opposite. This hedging flow creates predictable support and resistance.
VS3D Shows You the Positions
Most tools try to estimate this from implied volatility. VS3D shows the actual positions — by strike, by expiration, updated live. You see exactly where hedging pressure will accelerate or dampen price movement.
When you know where market makers are positioned, you know where price will accelerate and where it will stall. VS3D gives you the map.

Market Maker Positioning Moves Markets.
Gamma, Charm, and Vanna each create different hedging flows. Understanding which one is driving price — and when — is the difference between reacting and anticipating.
Gamma Exposure
Short gamma forces market makers to buy rallies and sell dips — amplifying moves. Long gamma does the opposite — dampening volatility. See exactly where these zones are, in real time.
Charm
As time passes, delta changes — and market makers must re-hedge. Charm maps this time decay flow, showing you where passive buying or selling pressure will build as expiration approaches.
Vanna
When volatility shifts, so do market maker hedging needs. Vanna exposure reveals where moves in the VIX will trigger cascading hedge adjustments — creating feedback loops in price.
