KORU Greeks regime and dealer hedging

Aggregate dealer Greeks compress 4 sensitivities (delta, gamma, theta, vega) into a single read on hedging behavior. In the current negative-gamma regime, dealer hedging is structurally momentum-amplifying: dealers buy rallies and sell dips, widening intraday ranges. This is the mechanical basis for vol-of-vol episodes where a small initial move snowballs. Gamma decays as expiration approaches; near-dated Greek exposures dominate the hedging flow.

Using KORU Greeks data for strategy selection

The Greeks profile is the input to most quantitative options strategies. Premium-selling structures (covered calls, iron condors, cash-secured puts) are negative-gamma, positive-theta, negative-vega - they pay you for being patient about realized volatility but get hit when realized exceeds implied. Premium-buying structures (long calls, long puts, long straddles, ratio backspreads) are positive-gamma, negative-theta, positive-vega - they pay you when realized exceeds implied but bleed time decay otherwise. With KORU IV rank at 81.3%, premium-selling has structural tailwind from the elevated implied; size to the expected move. Combine the regime read with the Greeks decomposition on this page to size structures correctly.
