The purpose of these posts is to provide tools that enable 🦍 🦍 🦍 to calculate the gamma squeeze effect for themselves.
I've updated the gamma squeeze calculator to include all the option chains until 2023 and removed the 3/5 expired ones, it now contains a total of 2,603 strikes and expiries. I have also added several new parameters to address shortcomings that others had pointed out. If for example you wish to only include strikes that will expire ITM in that week, now you can do it via the filters.

The calculator can be used to simulate several projected delta hedging scenarios under different forecasted prices with the time value as a parameter

We see from the cover that even using very conservative parameters, MMs are holding close to 20% of the float just to delta hedge, which might partly explain the high float percentage owned by institutions as displayed on Bloomberg's terminal.
Now 🦍 🦍 🦍 only have limited amount of 🍌🍌🍌, 🦍 🦍 🦍 need to ensure each 🍌 is used for maximum effect. Based on the calculator's BSM modeling, the best delta/price ratio in the options chain across all expiries would be

The 3/12 270C, if apes were to buy one contract, 3.04 x 100 = $304, then MMs would need to hedge 0.137x100x137.74 = $1882 worth of shares to remain delta neutral
Giving an amplification factor of
1 🍌 -> 6 🍌
OTM calls like these might be fine for YOLO-ers 🦍 , but carry very high risk of 🦍 loosing all 🍌, if 3/12 closing price ends below 270. A safer way for 🦍, would probably be ITM calls, somewhere around the 100-110C strike price

This would still gives 1 🍌 -> 3 🍌 in delta hedge amplification
The profit / loss for 🦍🦍🦍 would be

Suppose $GME on 3/12 does close above 151, what should 🦍 do next ? Best would be to exercise those calls, but most 🦍🦍🦍 are poor(because they are 🦍🦍🦍) and don't have enough powder to exercise calls. The next best thing would be to rollover those calls, selling 🦍's calls that are expiring and buying the next week's ITM calls at higher strike, further propagating the gamma squeeze. Here's a graphical illustration of the process

this way, 🦍 ape can ensure 🍌 is used to maximum effect, without taking on too much risk while also mitigating the shorts attacks.
🦍🦍🦍 path to victory is almost ensured, but 🦍 should be aware that 🦍 is not in the final stage yet, 🦍 still needs to go through MMs first before showdown with 🐊👑 in WallStreet. MMs are cold blooded amphibian species that likes to dwell in polluted bodies of water, thus most can be found alongside the Chicago river in Wacker
