CheeseAI Heat, the full-screen heatmap that comes with CheeseAI+, now works like an app on your phone. Open heat.cheeseai.app in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen, and it opens full screen like any other app.

New this week

• Nine names as tiles: price, the gamma read, the king and how far away it is, and which side of the MELT. Tap one to open it full size.

• Tap any strike for its numbers, then mark it as one of your 🔖 levels or open the name in CheeseAI+. On the index majors, the Mag 7 and SMH it also opens that name's Strike Flow.

• 🔔 Alerts in Heat: today's alerts in plain words, and a tap lands you on the name and strike. Turn on *Alerts on this phone* to get them as notifications from the Home Screen app.

• Since you last looked: a line under a panel when its walls, king or regime moved while you were away.

• ⏪ Replay steps a GEX or VEX panel back through today's scans.

• ☆ Watchlist and 📝 notes on every panel, shared with CheeseAI+.

• 0DTE ladder + tape, a same-day layout sized for a phone, and ES / NQ levels (estimated) on SPY and QQQ.

• ⬇ Share a panel to Messages, X or Discord as a picture.

• A six-step walkthrough the first time you open it. ? brings it back.

Also new in Heat

• ▥ Breadth: every sector, session by session, over 3 months, 6 months or a year, by price or by gamma (the gamma view starts with about the last three months and fills in as each session closes).

• ◩ Themes: each sector and theme as a card, with its move, how many of its names are up, how many sit below their MELT, and its biggest king.

• Market regime: one line at the top says whether the market reads long gamma, short gamma or balanced, and tells you when that changes.

• Strike Flow: premium by strike on the index majors, the Mag 7 and SMH, calls against puts. Premium traded, not direction.

On X, @CheeseAIapp posts a Strike Flow picture of SPY and QQQ every 15 minutes through the session.

Heat is part of CheeseAI+ (250+ tickers). New here? CheeseAI+ and CheeseAI+ & Discord start with 3 days free** on the weekly and monthly plans.

Open-interest based, under a dealer-sign assumption. Positioning, not a signal.

New on CheeseAI: the Price chart goes intraday.

Profile › Price now opens on 30-minute candles across the last week, with 5m, 15m, 1H and the daily view one tap away. Dots along every strike show where dealer gamma sat while price traded, so you can see which levels held and which got sliced through. Past the last candle, today's book is carried out to expiry inside the range the options are pricing.

Also drawn in: yesterday's high and low, the opening range, the busiest price of the week, and gamma by strike at the right edge.

And prices are live now, trade by trade on the name you have open.

Positioning context, not signals. Education only, not financial advice.

CheeseAI — dealer positioning, turned into levels.

The market makers who sold the options have to hedge, and that hedging piles up at specific strikes. That's why price pins at some numbers and runs through others. CheeseAI finds those strikes before price gets there and puts them on the chart:

🟢 CHEDDAR — the call wall, where a rally gets sold into

🟡 MELT — the gamma flip. Above it moves fade, below it they accelerate

🟣 BLUE — the put wall, where dealer hedging tends to catch a fall

8 boards, refreshed every 5 minutes during the session. 250+ tickers on Plus, 12 on base. Every greek is computed from the raw option chain, and the track record is published — how often the walls held, how dip setups resolved, how earnings moves landed against what was implied.

What it doesn't do: predict direction. It shows where price tends to stall and where it tends to run. News overrides everything.

What CheeseAI actually does, in one screenshot.

Before an earnings print you get the positioning: the call wall, the put wall, the gamma flip, the implied move and the ATM IV going in.

After the print, we grade it. Implied move vs actual move, name by name, beat or inside.

Last 27 graded prints — the actual move beat the implied 13 times. That's 48%. Average implied 9.8%, average actual 13.5%. So lately, straddles have run cheap.

That record gets published whether it flatters us or not. It's the reason to trust anything else on the board.

What it won't do is tell you which way a stock goes. It shows you the levels a move has to travel through, and it keeps score of how that went.
