Circles & Stars

CIRCLE — LARGE TRADE
STAR — HUGE TRADE

A circle marks a large trade; a star marks a huge trade — the bigger the shape, the bigger the print behind it. Neither marker draws its own line on the chart; for the horizontal price levels WhaleClues tracks independently, see Key Levels below.

Size is the message. The stars at 09:45 and 10:50 dwarf every circle on the chart — those are the huge prints, and both land on a turn. Among the circles, the one at 10:30 is visibly fatter than the small ones at 07:30 or 12:00: same marker, bigger trade behind it. The dashed horizontals are Key Levels drawn independently — no circle or star puts a line on the chart.

Shape says how big the trade was. Color says what it represents:

RED — long take-profit GREEN — short take-profit YELLOW — direction undetermined

Red = take-profit on longs. Green = take-profit on shorts. Yellow = the direction is undetermined — the move could continue, end, or reverse.
