Compare · Gamma levels
MenthorQ is one of the better-known names in options-derived key levels, and if you're reading this you're probably deciding who to pay for them. I build Sharpnel, so read me accordingly — but this page is written to be useful even if you choose them, because the way to choose is the same either way.
A levels service delivers levels as a product: an overlay you load onto the platform you already trade, with notes and a community around it. A terminal makes levels a layer: Sharpnel computes the call wall, put wall and gamma flip from the option chain every session and draws them on the price axis of the chart you already trade — recomputed through the session for the index books as 0DTE flow rebuilds the surface, nightly for single names — with the DOM ladder, footprint, TPO and reconstructed tape on the same screen. Whether that difference matters is the whole decision: if the levels live where the order flow lives, you see the defense of a wall as it happens instead of checking an overlay somebody else computed.
A native desktop trading terminal (Windows + notarised macOS). Gamma walls on-chart, deep DOM with pull/stack detection, footprint in five modes, TPO, the options suite, and a primary-source stock research desk. Pro is $125/mo or $1,125/yr paid once; a free Explorer tier runs everything on delayed data.
A levels service plugs into a workflow you already have; if the platform and the community are the reason you trade well, that is real value and no terminal replaces it. The honest question is whether you want levels delivered as an overlay to somebody else's chart, or computed and drawn by the terminal you trade from — and whether you will ever see how often they broke.
Which option chain feeds the computation; which expirations count; open interest or volume; the dealer-positioning assumption; how often levels recompute; and how they're delivered. Ask these of anyone — the answers explain why two vendors' walls sit at different prices on the same day.
Where is the published, graded record? Sharpnel grades its own free ES and NQ levels against the real session daily and keeps the misses up. As of 31 July 2026: 88 wall tests, 28 broke. About a third — because that's what a wall is. Any provider unwilling to publish that number is asking you to take their word.
For the dealer-positioning core, yes: Sharpnel computes call walls, put walls and the gamma flip from the option chain every session and draws them on the price axis of a full trading terminal — next to the DOM, footprint, TPO and tape. MenthorQ is a well-known levels service delivered onto the charting platforms traders already use, with a community around it. Sharpnel is the terminal itself, and its bridge studies put the same walls onto NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, Quantower and MotiveWave if you keep executing there.
Sharpnel Pro is $125/month (or $1,125 for a year, paid once) and includes the terminal itself: gamma levels on-chart, the DOM ladder, footprint, TPO, the options suite and the stock research desk. A free Explorer tier runs everything on delayed data, and today's ES and NQ walls are free to read on the levels page without an account.
Ask one question first: where is the published, graded record? Sharpnel grades its own free ES and NQ levels against the real session every day and keeps the misses public. As of 31 July 2026 the running wall record stood at 88 tests with 28 breaks — roughly a third — which is what a wall honestly is: a level that usually holds, not a promise.
If what you want is levels as an add-on to a charting platform you have no intention of leaving, plus a community of people trading the same lines, a levels-as-a-service model is a reasonable fit. Sharpnel is built for the trader who wants the levels computed and drawn inside the terminal they trade from, with the order flow that has to defend those levels visible next to them — and who wants to see the misses published.
The cheapest way to decide: read today's free graded ES levels, then put the terminal on your screen with the free tier and see the walls on your own chart.
MenthorQ is a trademark of its owner; it's named here for comparison only. Figures about Sharpnel's record are date-stamped and live at the graded-record page; nothing on this page states MenthorQ's prices or features — check theirs with them.
