Overview
What is Flow Terminal on MrChart?
The Flow Terminal is the home of MrChart Flow, built around one ticker at a time. Search a stock, ETF or index and its options picture opens in one place: MrChart Levels, dealer positioning, gamma exposure by strike and expiry, and the contracts behind them. It turns raw options flow into context you can read in minutes.
Options market makers hedge the contracts they sell, so where open interest and gamma pile up can shape how a stock behaves around certain strikes. The terminal shows that positioning beside volume, open interest and unusual options activity, so you can compare each layer. It is context for your own research, not a signal to trade.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the Flow Terminal?
It is the main page of MrChart Flow, where one ticker is shown in depth: its levels, dealer positioning, gamma exposure and the contracts behind them. Other Flow tools, such as the live tape and alerts, link into it.
What is gamma exposure and why does it matter?
Gamma exposure estimates how much dealers may need to adjust their hedges as the stock price moves. Large exposure at a strike can make price behave differently near that level, which is why it is shown as context.
Is the Flow Terminal free to use?
It depends on your plan. What each plan includes is shown on the pricing page.
