What our users say
How the API is being used
The UW API has quickly been something I can't trade without. I use various end points such as GEX, volatility skew/term structure, options volume/premium and many other data points. The data has helped me build historical backtests, forecasting models, and other types of stats/ML based research and models.I use these to build out my own screeners for short term trades as well as looking for hedging opportunities on my longer term portfolio. The dev team has been a great resource to work with as well. They are super responsive to issues and are open to feedback on future features that will aid in making my system as profitable as possible.
Out of the 60+ high quality API endpoints that UW offers, my favourite and heavily used one, is the Spot GEX exposures by strike.This invaluable endpoint allows us to monitor the gamma and options volume confluence per strike for a list of tickers within each trading day.Similarly to the Net Flow, we can then chart the top 5 strikes with the most GEXposure and monitor intraday changes and especially OTM strikes showing up and dragging the price higher or lower.The most important aspect of this endpoint is that the volume GEXposure is directionalized, in a similar way as the Net Flow.Thus, whenever a higher strike shows up in the chart, it provides a good opportunity for an intraday trade, provided that we check for further confluence from the various chart in the UW's website.
The UW API allows me to quickly identify and analyze symbols that have shown historically to overprice volatility.Together with correlation statistics this puts me in the position to run a diversified short volatility portfolio with an efficient use of my time.-----------------I found Spot GEX exposures by strike to be the tool that speaks to me about what the underlying developments are, since I am only trading 0DTE. I map, what I refer to as GEX pivots, and see how they develop throughout the trading session.
