Dollar Gamma Calculation

Does anyone here have an idea on how the GEX and DIX are calculated on https://squeezemetrics.com/monitor/dix? I try to multiply gamma by OI at every strike for both calls and puts to get an idea on where the market stands. Any help on calculating daily dollar/gamma exposure would be grateful. Thanks!

I do, they're on this site. Just search for Nextsignal.

Nextsignal Gamming Gamma code:

Code:
# Buy Signal: Buy when Gamma and price simultaneously decline
# Filters: 1-bar lower OHLC4 and selling pressure (buying into weakness)
# Strike choice: Strike with highest OI (GEX) and near-the-money

def offset = sqrt ((high - low)) * 0.2;
def gamma = gamma();
def gamma1 =  gamma()[1];
def price = close();
def price1 = price[1];
def sellpress = ((high - close) / (high-low)) > 0.6;

plot buyArrow = if price < price1 and gamma < gamma1 and sellpress and OHLC4 < OHLC4[1] then low - offset else 0;
buyArrow.setpaintingstrategy(paintingstrategy.arrow_up);
buyArrow.setdefaultcolor(createcolor(38,115,255));
buyArrow.setlineweight(2);
buyArrow.hidebubble();
buyArrow.hidetitle();

plot buyValue = if price < price1 and gamma < gamma1 and sellpress and OHLC4 < OHLC4[1] then close else double.nan;
buyValue.setpaintingstrategy(paintingstrategy.values_BELOW);
buyValue.setdefaultcolor(color.Yellow);
buyValue.setlineweight(2);
buyValue.hidebubble();
buyValue.hidetitle();
@Iceman1205us do you have Nextsignals lower currency indicator?
 
Now that we are in RTH, I used the following plot statement in the customized options chain for JPM, expiration 27 DEC 19 (18)
The custom column now shows some good data populating with values ranging from 0.01 to 0.07.
We learn something new every day

Code:
plot myData = gamma()*0.5*Sqr(close(getUnderlyingSymbol())/100);
Thinkscript Option Greeks Values Incorrect - Delta(), Gamma(), Rho(), Theta(), Vega() - when I use addlabel to plot option greek values on a chart, I get a much different value than the value of the option greek I see in a column within an option chain.

Not sure why the difference? Do you experience the same?

@Iceman1205us, Hi bro, thanks for the scripts. May I check if you have the sell conditions?
 
# Magic Options Qoute
def limit = 20000; #The limit for the cell to be colored

def gex = gamma() * 100 * open_interest();
def vex = volume() - open_interest();
def magicresult = gex + vex;
def ret = if magicresult < 0 then 0 else magicresult;

plot magic = Round(ret, 0);

assignbackgroundcolor(if AbsValue(magic) > limit then createcolor(128,255,0) else color.black);

magic.assignvaluecolor(if AbsValue(magic) > limit then color.black else color.current);
