What the recap printed
Test app, session 2026-10-15, KPI. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
| Reading | Recap value |
|---|---|
| Single-name premium | $27.1B |
| Call / Put | 47% / 53% |
| Bullish / Bearish | 27% / 24% |
| Overall tone | leaned bullish |
| First 30-minute window | 09:30 · $3.9B |
Sentiment bars: Neutral $13.1B, Bullish $7.5B, Bearish $6.7B. 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 2026-10-15, Step 1. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Leaders: where premium concentrated
Test app, session 2026-10-15, Step 2. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
| Symbol | Premium | Call | Put | Net bias |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MU | $2.8B | $1.4B | $1.5B | Bullish |
| NVDA | $1.7B | $1.2B | $504M | Bullish |
| SNDK | $1.6B | $540M | $1.1B | Bullish |
| AMD | $1.0B | $496M | $511M | Bullish |
| TSLA | $809M | $441M | $368M | Mixed |
| META | $733M | $574M | $159M | Mixed |
MU, NVDA, SNDK, and AMD carried Bullish tags, while TSLA and META were Mixed. MU, SNDK, and AMD each showed more put than call premium. A put-heavy mix can coexist with a Bullish classification.
The bottom line and glance show MU $2.8B; the leaders table and headline cards show MU $2.8B. Preserve these field readings rather than reconciling them into a new number.
Test app, session 2026-10-15, Bottom line / glance. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Exposure and volatility context
The glance lists NVDA +4M shares-equiv. as largest Net DEX and MU 133% as largest Net DEI magnitude. Step 4 prints MU 133%, with Positive Net DEX. DEI is an unsigned activity-relative magnitude; DEX provides a separate signed classification. Neither proves opening intent or actual dealer inventory.
Step 5’s highest IV rank among active names is RKLB 100 / 100, with 130.5% 30-day implied volatility. This is snapshot volatility context, not realized session volatility.
Index GEX: SPX Negative
Test app, session 2026-10-15, Step 6 · T+1. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
| Index | Net GEX ($B) | Regime |
|---|---|---|
| SPX | −13.69 | Negative |
| SPY | +4.06 | Positive |
| NDX | −3.89 | Negative |
| QQQ | −2.85 | Negative |
| IWM | −2.66 | Negative |
| DIA | +0.21 | Positive |
SPX, NDX, QQQ, and IWM were Negative; SPY and DIA were Positive. A bullish session tape did not make every modeled index gamma book Positive.
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 $931
Test app, session 2026-10-15, Step 8. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Cards: last $931, premium $2.8B, 48% calls, 29% bullish, 75% average IV on traded contracts. The headline name is selected by premium, not by the largest price move.
| Time | Type | Strike | Expiry | Premium | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14:37 | PUT | 1,070 | 2026-10-16 | $42M | BULLISH |
| 15:22 | PUT | 1,060 | 2026-10-16 | $36M | BULLISH |
| 14:25 | PUT | 1,070 | 2026-10-16 | $36M | NEUTRAL |
| 14:37 | PUT | 1,100 | 2026-10-16 | $33M | BULLISH |
| 15:22 | PUT | 1,070 | 2026-10-16 | $28M | NEUTRAL |
| 14:37 | PUT | 1,100 | 2026-10-16 | $28M | NEUTRAL |
Test app, session 2026-10-15, Step 8 · prints. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
The largest listed ticket was 14:37 1,070 PUT, expiry 2026-10-16, premium $42M, tagged BULLISH. The largest ticket was a Bullish put, followed by another Bullish put. The table also shows Neutral puts at nearby strikes and the same expiry. The report’s classification must be read separately from option type.
Ticket tags do not prove who bought or sold, whether a position opened, or whether adjacent prints form a single strategy.
Movers: CYPH +23.8%
Test app, session 2026-10-15, Step 7. Captured October 16, 2026 (Pacific time).
Bottom line: CYPH +23.8%. Step 7 in both runs: CYPH 23.9%, 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.
