This edition reads TradingFlow’s Daily Market Recap for October 7, 2026, captured on October 13. The quoted figures agreed across two runs. This is a completed-session report, not a trade recommendation.

What the recap printed
Test app, session 2026-10-07, KPI. Captured October 13, 2026.
| Reading | Recap value |
|---|---|
| Single-name premium | $14.1B |
| Call / Put | 66% / 34% |
| Bullish / Bearish | 24% / 24% |
| Overall tone | was balanced |
| First 30-minute window | 09:30 · $2.2B |
Sentiment bars: Neutral $7.3B, Bullish $3.4B, Bearish $3.4B. Call share is option type, not bullish sentiment. Neutral premium supplies no direction; rounded buckets need not sum exactly to the rounded KPI total.
Test app, session 2026-10-07, Step 1. Captured October 13, 2026.
Leaders: where premium concentrated
Test app, session 2026-10-07, Step 2. Captured October 13, 2026.
| Symbol | Premium | Call | Put | Net bias |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MU | $2.1B | $1.5B | $583M | Bullish |
| SNDK | $984M | $633M | $351M | Bullish |
| META | $718M | $399M | $318M | Bearish |
| AMD | $676M | $507M | $169M | Bearish |
| NVDA | $672M | $479M | $193M | Bearish |
| TSLA | $655M | $401M | $255M | Mixed |
MU and SNDK carried Bullish tags, while META, AMD, and NVDA were Bearish. The market-wide sentiment split remained equal; a Bullish leader is not evidence that the entire tape leaned bullish.
The bottom line and glance show MU $2.1B; the leaders table and headline cards show MU $2.1B. Preserve these field readings rather than reconciling them into a new number.
Test app, session 2026-10-07, Bottom line / glance. Captured October 13, 2026.
Exposure and volatility context
The glance lists MU +2M shares-equiv. as largest Net DEX and MU 200% as largest Net DEI magnitude. Step 4 prints MU 200%, with Positive Net DEX. DEI is an unsigned activity-relative magnitude; DEX provides a separate signed classification. Neither proves opening intent or actual dealer inventory.
Step 5’s highest IV rank among active names is AMZN 54 / 100, with 39.4% 30-day implied volatility. This is snapshot volatility context, not realized session volatility.
Index GEX: SPX Positive
Test app, session 2026-10-07, Step 6 · T+1. Captured October 13, 2026.
| Index | Net GEX ($B) | Regime |
|---|---|---|
| SPX | +13.34 | Positive |
| SPY | −5.40 | Negative |
| QQQ | −1.41 | Negative |
| IWM | −0.72 | Negative |
| NDX | +0.56 | Positive |
| DIA | −0.03 | Negative |
SPX and NDX were Positive, while SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA were Negative. The SPX sign did not describe every index book.
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 $1,088
Test app, session 2026-10-07, Step 8. Captured October 13, 2026.
Cards: last $1,088, premium $2.1B, 72% calls, 26% bullish, 67% average IV on traded contracts. The headline name is selected by premium, not by the largest price move.
| Time | Type | Strike | Expiry | Premium | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12:43 | CALL | 1,080 | 2026-10-30 | $10M | BULLISH |
| 14:34 | CALL | 1,100 | 2027-03-19 | $7M | NEUTRAL |
| 11:22 | CALL | 500 | 2027-06-17 | $6M | NEUTRAL |
| 11:22 | CALL | 490 | 2027-03-19 | $6M | NEUTRAL |
| 10:39 | CALL | 1,070 | 2026-10-16 | $5M | BULLISH |
| 14:34 | CALL | 1,200 | 2027-03-19 | $5M | BEARISH |
Test app, session 2026-10-07, Step 8 · prints. Captured October 13, 2026.
The largest listed ticket was 12:43 1,080 CALL, expiry 2026-10-30, premium $10M, tagged BULLISH. The largest listed MU ticket was Bullish, consistent with its leaders-table tag. That agreement does not establish opening intent or identify the trader.
Ticket tags do not prove who bought or sold, whether a position opened, or whether adjacent prints form a single strategy.
Movers: XRPN +27.2%
Test app, session 2026-10-07, Step 7. Captured October 13, 2026.
Bottom line: XRPN +27.2%. Step 7 in both runs: XRPN 27.2%, 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.
