GEX
Dealer gamma: fade the walls in positive gamma, go with the break in negative. 6 symbols x 5m / 15m / 30m / 60m. Underlying price only, no options.
Showing every row ever logged, across rule revisions — these are not one strategy.
Current revision only
Variants
Each is the base with one thing changed, run side by side off the same data. Listed in the order they are defined, not by result — over a few weeks the best row is mostly luck. Pick one to see its gates below; everything under this table is for None only.

Dealer gamma now
The snapshot each instance is reading. Entries need it under 7.0 minutes old; an open position is closed past 30.0. ES and NQ read 0DTE and fall back to 7DTE while 0DTE is stale (it stops for several hours after each 16:00 expiry); RTY reads 7DTE.

Does the regime separate outcomes?
The claim under test: fades work in positive gamma and breaks in negative. The strategy only trades the two rows marked "with"; the other two are candidates the regime gate blocked, followed to an outcome anyway so there is something to compare against.
| Setup | Regime at signal | Thesis | n | W / L | Avg | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fade | POSITIVE | with | 113 | 44 / 69 | -0.00R | -0.40R |
| fade | NEGATIVE | against | 705 | 213 / 491 | -0.57R | -401.64R |
| break | POSITIVE | against | 96 | 47 / 49 | -0.43R | -41.24R |
| break | NEGATIVE | with | 567 | 201 / 366 | -0.98R | -554.00R |
Gates
2306 candidates raised, 260 taken. "Failed" counts every candidate a gate failed on; "first" only those where it was the first to fail. The right-hand columns are what the blocked candidates went on to do — a gate is earning its place when that is worse than the taken trades' -0.99R.

Break entry: chase or wait for the retest?
Every break also raises a hypothetical limit back at the broken wall, with the same stop and targets. 557 raised, 117 never filled.

| At the close (taken + blocked) | 663 | 248 / 415 | -0.90R | -595.24R |
