SPX Strike Profile - Table

The same exposure as a strike-by-expiry grid of numbers.

What it shows

Rows are strikes, columns are expiries, and each cell is the market-maker exposure for that strike and expiry at the replay minute. It is the Table view of the Strike Profile slot and shares its metric, range and account-type settings.

What it is built from

The same market-maker exposure as the Strike Profile chart, laid out by strike and by expiry. Built from licensed CBOE one-minute SPX and VIX data with market-maker positioning, recomputed every minute.

Reading

How to read it

  1. Read across a row to see which expiry carries a strike's exposure.
  2. Read down a column to see one expiry's ladder as numbers.
  3. A column headed with 'AM' is an AM-settled expiry (SPX third-Friday monthly).
  4. With Heatmap on, the largest cells take colour and the rest fade to the background.

Good to know

  • % and +/-10 compare cells within one column. Use $ to compare across expiries.
  • It shares its metric, range and account type with the chart view, so you can flip between the two on the same minute.
