Your Watchlist
The left rail groups your subscribed futures by category — US Equity Indexes (ES, NQ, RTY, YM) and The Metals (GC, SI). Each row is one Instrument Tile showing today's HIGH / LOW pills, a mini-chart, the last price, and tick value.
Click any tile to dive into its full chart with markers, walls, and options flow.
Markers — shape & color
Shape tells you trade size: circle = large trade, star = huge trade. Star-level prints anchor dashed support / resistance lines for the next day or two. Color tells you the action: red = take-profit on longs, green = take-profit on shorts, yellow = trend continuing, ending, or reversing (context decides).
Hexagons
A hexagon = an algorithm-driven take-profit. Red means TP on longs; green means TP on shorts. Hex prints often cluster, marking the location where algos are unwinding.
The Sun
A sun marks strong trend resistance — a price level where the trend has a high chance of stopping or reversing. When a sun coincides with Circles or Stars, the success rate jumps sharply. Treat a sun + cluster as a high-conviction reaction level.
XJER — buying vs selling energy
The XJER Indicator measures the current balance of buying vs. selling energy. Watch for divergence: if price chops sideways but the dominant XJER energy is contracting, the side in control is exhausting — and reversal odds rise sharply.
DEX · GEX · VANNA
Delta Exposure
Dealers' delta hedge. Price magnet — flow follows where DEX sits.
Gamma Exposure
Regime indicator. Positive = calm range; negative = volatile, trending.
Volatility Flow
How dealer hedges shift as volatility moves. Subtle but powerful.
The right-side panel shows where dealers must trade to stay hedged as price and volatility move. Together, DEX, GEX, and VANNA explain why price reacts at certain levels — they're the gravitational field beneath the chart.
Walls & FLIP
Call Wall
Intraday ceiling — largest call OI / gamma strike. Dealers fade longs into it.
Put Wall
Bullish floor — largest put OI. Broken on heavy volume = an avalanche.
FLIP
Regime line: above = positive gamma (calm); below = negative gamma (chaos).
Volume Profile
On the right edge of the chart, horizontal bars show where today's volume traded — not when. Each bar splits into Ask (aggressive buyers) and Bid (aggressive sellers).
The magnets
The POC is the price with the most volume — the day's fair-value anchor. HVN nodes act as support / resistance.
The gaps
LVN = low-volume gaps. Price slices through them quickly — they're where moves accelerate.
Trading Tips: confluence wins
Single signals fire all day. The ones that actually mark a turn share one trait: confluence.
Cross-instrument resonance
Stars / Circles / Suns firing on ES, NQ, RTY, YM at the same time and against the same structure (recent high, Call Wall) = high-probability reversal.
Multi-signal confluence at a level
Different signal types stacking at the same price level. Watch for: a Star or Circle at the Call Wall or Put Wall; markers clustering at VWAP-derived S/R; or a Sun overlapping with Hexagons at a recent extreme. The more types stack, the stronger the reaction.
XJER divergence in a range
Price chops sideways but the dominant XJER energy contracts — the side in control is exhausting. Reversal odds rise sharply.
End-of-day XJER divergence
Close at the day's highs with red XJER → bearish next-day setup. Close at the lows with green XJER → bullish next-day setup.
