Any beginner-friendly GEX platforms worth checking out?

I’m new to investing and recently started learning about GEX / Gamma Exposure. I know it’s more advanced, but I’m trying to understand how options positioning and market maker hedging can affect price movement.

So far I’ve checked out or heard about:

  • SpotGamma — seems popular for GEX and dealer positioning, $99/month
  • gexbot — focused on live GEX, dealer positioning, options flow, and hedging data. $50/month
  • Quantwheel - gex heat map, GEX AI $19/month
  • moomoo — not a pure GEX platform but have FREE GEX data

My impression is that GEX probably better for serious options traders, but they can be expensive or too advanced for beginners.

For someone still learning, I’m wondering if it makes more sense to start with a broader platform like moomoo first, then move to a paid GEX platform later if I actually understand how to use the data.

Do you think paid GEX tools are worth it for beginners, or should I stick with free/basic tools for now?

Don't know what GEX is? Here is a guide >>

SpaceX IPO is coming but you still can't buy it directly. So which tickers actually move with it?

How to get SpaceX exposure before the IPO drops. Direct shares? Not happening yet for retail.

So I went down the rabbit hole on moomoo community and pulled together the actual ecosystem plays. Sharing because I'd love to hear what others are holding.

The closest thing to "owning SpaceX" right now is a handful of funds that hold private SpaceX stakes: XOVR, DXYZ, NASA, RONB, VCX, AGIX. Heads up though, premiums on these can get ugly.

Then there are the pure space-theme ETFs without any SpaceX inside: ORBX, ARKX, UFO, MARS. Cleaner exposure to the broader space economy but you're not really riding the SpaceX wave.

The part that actually gets me excited is the supplier ecosystem. Satellite comms (ASTS, IRDM, SATS, PL), materials and aerospace supply chain (ATI, HXL, LHX, TDY, KTOS, RDW), and the AI angle through xAI Colossus tie-ins (NVDA, GOOGL). Starlink retail rollout with TMUS adds another vector. Competitors like RKLB are also worth a look.

The thesis I keep coming back to: space is doing what cloud did with AWS, what EVs did with Tesla. Infra build-out before the consumer wave.

What's everyone actually positioning in? Funds for direct SpaceX proxy, or the picks-and-shovels names?

Where can I see the exact numbers for my post karma and comment karma?

I know my profile shows the total karma, but I can't find the specific breakdown.
Also, do different subreddits have different karma requirements? I've noticed that some of them don't state their rules clearly, and I only find out what the requirements are after my post gets removed.
