The day's tally and the eight reading rules

Four trades taken out of six possible readings, three AAA and two AA, none in the void, none after 9:30 pm. This lesson draws up the tally with module 11's rules on trade count applied as they stand, converts the R into dollars with the discount a real trader has to apply to themselves, then sums the session up in eight reading rules that hold for every other session.

The eight reading rules of this session

1. Start with the regime, and when two models contradict each other, let price behavior settle it.
2. Read the GEX map as a map of the terrain: a positive strike brakes, a negative strike accelerates. It does not give the direction.
3. Always cross options and the book. A level is strong when a large GEX and a large resting order land at the same price (7,600, 7,620).
4. Compare aggression and liquidity. Positive delta and a book leaning to the sell side: a compression, then a clean exit.
5. Do not trust a wall before it is touched. It can hold, be absorbed or disappear (7,616 at 5:06 pm).
