What the recap printed
Test app, session 2026-10-14, KPI. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
| Reading | Recap value |
|---|---|
| Single-name premium | $17.9B |
| Call / Put | 56% / 44% |
| Bullish / Bearish | 25% / 27% |
| Overall tone | leaned bearish |
| First 30-minute window | 09:30 · $2.4B |
Sentiment bars: Neutral $8.6B, Bullish $4.4B, Bearish $4.9B. Call share is option type, not bullish sentiment. Neutral premium supplies no direction; chapter values and the KPI total are separate displayed fields, which need not reconcile exactly.
Test app, session 2026-10-14, Step 1. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Leaders: where premium concentrated
Test app, session 2026-10-14, Step 2. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
| Symbol | Premium | Call | Put | Net bias |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MU | $2.0B | $1.1B | $922M | Bearish |
| NVDA | $1.1B | $623M | $476M | Bearish |
| TSLA | $781M | $412M | $368M | Mixed |
| AMD | $757M | $414M | $343M | Bearish |
| SNDK | $743M | $313M | $430M | Bearish |
| META | $660M | $423M | $237M | Bearish |
MU, NVDA, AMD, SNDK, and META carried Bearish tags; TSLA was Mixed. MU still had more call than put premium, illustrating why option type is not the same as a directional tag.
The bottom line and glance show MU $1.9B; the leaders table and headline cards show MU $2.0B. Preserve these field readings rather than reconciling them into a new number.
Test app, session 2026-10-14, Bottom line / glance. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Exposure and volatility context
The glance lists MRNA +0M shares-equiv. as largest Net DEX and TSLA 204% as largest Net DEI magnitude. Step 4 prints TSLA 204%, with Negative Net DEX. DEI is an unsigned activity-relative magnitude; DEX provides a separate signed classification. Neither proves opening intent or actual dealer inventory.
MRNA’s +0M shares-equiv. Net DEX reading rounds to zero; it does not support a directional inference.
Step 5’s highest IV rank among active names is ABBV 66 / 100, with 31.1% 30-day implied volatility. This is snapshot volatility context, not realized session volatility.
Index GEX: SPX Negative
Test app, session 2026-10-14, Step 6 · T+1. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
| Index | Net GEX ($B) | Regime |
|---|---|---|
| SPX | −105.30 | Negative |
| SPY | −11.93 | Negative |
| QQQ | −5.89 | Negative |
| IWM | −4.06 | Negative |
| NDX | −2.54 | Negative |
| DIA | +0.03 | Positive |
SPX, SPY, QQQ, IWM, and NDX were Negative; DIA was the small Positive exception. SPX was the largest modeled exposure by magnitude.
GEX describes modeled chain structure under TradingFlow’s dealer-sign convention. The regime does not establish observed dealer inventory, a support level, a pin target, or the next session’s direction.
Headline name: MU at $914
Test app, session 2026-10-14, Step 8. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Cards: last $914, premium $2.0B, 53% calls, 21% bullish, 78% average IV on traded contracts. The headline name is selected by premium, not by the largest price move.
| Time | Type | Strike | Expiry | Premium | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15:54 | PUT | 900 | 2026-10-23 | $10M | NEUTRAL |
| 15:54 | PUT | 850 | 2026-11-20 | $9M | NEUTRAL |
| 09:42 | CALL | 600 | 2027-01-15 | $9M | BEARISH |
| 09:49 | CALL | 390 | 2027-05-21 | $9M | NEUTRAL |
| 09:49 | CALL | 310 | 2027-05-21 | $6M | NEUTRAL |
| 14:40 | PUT | 1,350 | 2028-12-15 | $6M | BEARISH |
Test app, session 2026-10-14, Step 8 · prints. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
The largest listed ticket was 15:54 900 PUT, expiry 2026-10-23, premium $10M, tagged NEUTRAL. The two largest listed tickets were Neutral puts, both at 15:54, with different strikes and expiries. Neither a put label nor shared timing proves a bearish opening position or a single strategy.
Ticket tags do not prove who bought or sold, whether a position opened, or whether adjacent prints form a single strategy.
Movers: VCX +8.8%
Test app, session 2026-10-14, Step 7. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Bottom line: VCX +8.8%. Step 7 in both runs: VCX 8.9%, Up. Keep both displayed fields. The bottom line names the largest gain; Step 7’s key can select a gain or loss across runs.
The intraday_pct reading is a first-to-last underlying-price proxy in the option tape. It is not an independently verified daily stock return, and movers do not prove flow causality.
