The rules are written for a call-side view; the put side is the exact mirror. “Positive” here only means the written conditions are met — it is not a prediction.
CE side — conditions (x/4)
1 · Call premium is above BEP.
2 · Put at the same strike is below BEP.
3 · That put is below its own Today Open.
4 · The other nearby puts are also below BEP.
PE side — conditions (x/4)
The mirror image: put above BEP, call at the same strike below BEP and below its own open, and the nearby calls below BEP.
Strength grades
Positive: ATM call above the yardstick and ATM put below it.
Strong: + the puts one strike either side below it.
Very strong: + the puts two strikes either side below it.
Measured against BEP and against each leg’s own Today Open.
Sideways
ATM call and ATM put both above BEP, or both below BEP — or both above / below their previous close. The banner then reads “Sideways – no new setup”.
Next level & Then
The nearest premium levels above the current price (previous-day low / close / high, equilibrium, universal resistance and others). BEP is shown first while a premium is still below it.
Synthetic future
Strike + Call − Put gives an index-like number. The ladder shows where it sits against Today Open, Mid S&R, BEP and the ATM levels, including “sellers panic” levels.
