The structural layer most morning market emails leave out.
Gamma Regime
Whether dealers are positioned to dampen this session's moves or amplify them — the difference between a session that chops and one that runs.
Call Wall
The level above price where call hedging concentrates. It's your reference for how much room the session has to the upside before dealer flow gets heavy.
Put Wall
The level below price where put hedging concentrates — the same reference, for how much room there is to the downside.
When We Don't Print
Every account posting gamma levels prints one every single day. We don't — when a crossing hasn't earned it, we say so instead of making one up. What we do print describes structure, not direction.
Two Coaches. Eight Years Building This.
Van Wooten
Methodology & Teaching
Kenny Gregg
Platform & Data
Van and Kenny combine more than 20 years of trading experience with 40 years of building companies across trading, technology, and e-commerce.
Van Wooten leads the development and teaching of the Level8 methodology, translating years of market experience into a structured approach to understanding price action, market structure, volatility, and options positioning.
Kenny Gregg combines his background in trading, e-commerce, marketing, and technology to bring that methodology to a larger community. He also leads the development of Level8's trading intelligence platform — a growing data and analytics engine designed to capture market observations, evaluate outcomes, identify patterns, and continuously improve the methodology.
The result is a partnership built around a simple idea: trading methodology should not remain static. It should be taught clearly, tested continuously, and improved as the data grows.
"We publish the same read
we trade from."
The daily read isn't a teaser held back for a paywall. It's the same gamma regime, call wall, and put wall we look at before we take a trade ourselves — free, published before the open, every trading day.
