Smart money charts: a stock charting tool that shows who bought, and when
Insider purchases, unusual options positions, congressional disclosures, fund filings, analyst calls and buybacks — each drawn on the price chart on the day it became public. Around them, a complete charting workspace: GEX levels, dark pool flow, 24 indicators, drawing tools, saved layouts and alerts.
Every feature unlocked. No credit card required.
One screen: the chart with every signal on it, a plotted trade, the watchlist, Fair Value, fundamentals and the news summary.
Nine signal families, one chart
Each family has its own shape and colour. Bullish markers sit below the bar and bearish above it, so direction reads before colour does. Hover any marker for the filer, the contract, the size and the date.
Insider buys
Open-market purchases by directors, officers and 10% owners from Form 4 filings — the trade nobody makes by accident.
Options flow
Unusually large call and put positions, measured against the size of the company, so mid-caps show up as readily as mega-caps.
Hedge funds
One marker a quarter from the 13F filings of around a hundred tracked managers — were more of them buying or selling, with the names on hover.
Politician trades
House and Senate disclosures, plotted on the day they became public — not the trade date, which can be up to 45 days earlier.
Analyst calls
Upgrades, downgrades and initiations, only from analysts ranked in the top thousand by career track record.
Buybacks
The company announcing it will repurchase its own shares, from the SEC filing, with the size as a share of market cap.
Volume thrusts
A forceful one-day move on heavy volume, closing near its own extreme, after the stock has been beaten down or run up.
Candle patterns
Hammers, engulfing bars, kickers, morning and evening stars — filtered by where they printed and by the GekkoIndex.
Reversals
Price exhaustion after a run of consecutive new highs or new lows — where a move ran out of road.
The indicator library, built in-house
GEX levels from the options chain, dark pool flow, adaptive bands, support and resistance clouds, a smart money score — beside SuperTrend, volume profile, anchored VWAP and the rest. Pick a chart.
S&R Clouds + GEX LevelsSupport and resistance clouds on IONQ, brighter where a level has been tested more, with the Call Wall, Gamma Flip and Put Wall drawn from the options chain.
Smart money 10 layers
Technical 14 indicators
Every row has an ⓘ that says what the layer tells you and a ⚙ for its settings, periods and colours. Each column has its own show all and hide all.

Forty lists Gekko keeps for you
Beside the chart, the watchlist picker holds your own lists under Mine and forty auto-updating ones under General, ▲ Bullish and ▼ Bearish — insider buys, bullish and bearish option flow, analyst buys and sells, politician buys, top manager buys and sells from the 13Fs, GekkoIndex buy and sell zones by market cap, thrusts, reversals, momentum, 52-week highs and lows, most active, trending online, top shorted.
Each one refreshes through the day. Click through a list on the chart with the layers you want switched on, and the morning's research is a scroll, not a search. Any list can also be viewed as a heatmap.
The trade planner and alerts, on the same panel
Under the GekkoIndex gauge, the Trade Planner replays the stock's history: every time it was in the zone it is in now, what would your stop, target and holding rules have done? Win rate, average return, reward-to-risk, number of trades — and an optimiser that searches the combinations for you.
Plot Trade draws the plan on the chart with draggable levels. Alert this trade turns the stop and target into alerts in one click — in the app or by email, checked every fifteen minutes through the session. Alerts can also watch any price, any GekkoIndex reading or the Fair Value discount.
On the free stock pages, too
Every Gekko stock page carries a one-year price chart with the 50-day and 200-day averages and volume, a small chart of the close against Gekko Fair Value, and a smart money summary: the latest insider purchases, congressional disclosures and a count of unusual options signals in the window. The chart with every signal plotted, the indicator library, the hover detail and the full tables are inside Gekko. See the NVIDIA page for an example.
Questions about smart money charts
Which signals are plotted on the chart?
Insider buys (open-market purchases from Form 4 filings), unusual options flow in four flavours, hedge fund quarterly position changes from 13F filings, congressional and Senate disclosures, analyst upgrades and downgrades from top-ranked analysts, buyback authorisations from SEC filings, volume thrusts, candle patterns and price-exhaustion reversals. Each can be switched on or off, and the GEX levels, Dark Pool Index and the technical indicators sit alongside them.
Can I use Gekko as my only charting platform?
Many subscribers do. Chart tabs and saved layouts, seven chart types, drawing tools with resize handles, moving averages, resizable panes, alerts, PNG export and the 24-indicator library cover what most traders use day to day — with the smart money data, GEX levels and the GekkoIndex on top. What Gekko does not offer is tick-by-tick real-time quotes or trade execution; prices update every fifteen minutes through the session.
Does it cover ETFs?
Yes — every US-listed stock and ETF Gekko covers, about 5,800 names. Some families only apply to stocks (insiders, buybacks); the options, GEX, fund and technical layers cover ETFs too.
Are my layouts and drawings saved?
Yes. Every chart tab saves itself on every change, the Layouts library keeps up to thirty named setups, and drawings are kept per ticker so they survive timeframe changes. Watchlists, portfolios and alerts are stored in your account and follow you to any computer.
