The three no-trades

A no-trade is a card in its own right: a recognizable context, a written decision, and an alternative. The three cards that follow bring in nothing, and they avoid the losses that ruin months. A trader who respected only these three cards would already have extracted the essence of the course. The first says not to fade below Zero Gamma, the second to do nothing in the void, the third to respect the clock.

N1 · Absorption below Zero Gamma

You see convincing buying absorption at a support: a dense band, selling delta slowing down, Deep V-Tracker marking an A zone. But price is below Zero Gamma, H-GEX is purple at the level, Net is negative. Market makers' hedging adds selling with every point of decline: the limit order is real, and it is going to be overwhelmed.
