How Offsides Scoring Works

Offsides is the Pro squeeze-radar score.

It asks one question: where are dealers most likely to chase the move instead of calming it?

A name that lights up Offsides is loaded. That does not mean it is easy. It means the structure is set so a small push can force a fast chase — and that is where the asymmetric trades live.

The One-Line Read

Offsides is a 0-to-100 score that reads the full options surface in real time and tells you where the next squeeze pressure is building.

A high score does not predict the move. It tells you the conditions are right for one — if you bring the timing.

What It Means On GEX Edge

The Pro scan finds broad setup quality across the watchlist.

Squeeze radar is narrower and louder. It looks for names where the pressure has nowhere to go but up — and ranks them so you do not have to.

The board surfaces two things you can act on.

Lifecycle, so you know where in the move the name is:

• Forming: early fuel, not enough confirmation yet.
• Igniting: pressure is starting to build.
• Wall Break: price is pressing through the wall.
• Loaded: the setup is already strong and needs discipline.
• Late: the move is stretched; respect it, but do not chase blindly.

Mechanism, so you know what is driving it:

• Dealer chase: dealer positioning is the main force.
• Chase + flow: dealer chase and directional flow are working together.
• Magnet: price is tight to a wall, so breakout risk has to beat pin risk.

What's Behind The Score

Offsides is a multi-factor model. It weighs dealer positioning, demand pressure, volatility regime, and tape behavior together — the same way a desk would, if a desk had the patience to do it across the whole watchlist every minute.

The exact weighting is ours. The output is yours: one number that tells you where to look first, and lifecycle plus mechanism that tell you what kind of trade is on the table.

This is the part you cannot replicate by reading a single chart. That is the point.

How To Use The Board

Start with the top three rows.

For each row, ask:

• Is the lifecycle still early enough to enter?
• Is the wall close enough to matter?
• Does the mechanism fit your timeframe?
• Does the trade idea still define risk clearly?

If the answer is clean, open trade ideas.

If the answer is mixed, watch the name and wait for the next read.

Mistake To Avoid

Do not confuse loaded with easy.

A high Offsides score can still fail if the broad tape turns, the wall rejects price, liquidity is poor, or the move is already late.

The score points you to the pressure. Your job is to decide whether the pressure is still tradable.

Quick Check

Before acting on a squeeze row, say the full sentence:

"This name is [lifecycle], the mechanism is [mechanism], the wall is [distance] away, and the trade idea still defines my risk."

If you cannot finish that sentence cleanly, do not force the trade.
