After a few DMs I've been having with people, I figured it's best to share with the broader audience.
@EMS44600@SkylitAI I am also gonna check every morning to find more case studies. The only thing with today is that even though those nodes grew right up until pre-market, as soon as we opened, that positioning wasn't there. But those nodes did end up being active as we dumped throughout the day
$SPX Heatmaps from @SkylitAI pre-fired the flush today 🩸
Here’s how the SPX heatmap developed overnight and in the pre-market:
- 7475/7525 were initially the King Nodes
- 7415 flipped from positive to negative
- 7410-7400 popped up with nodes shortly around 7:30am
- 7415 grew to King Node closer to open
- NY open at triple King Node ceilings to reject
- Those downside nodes all hit with SPX LOD = 7382
Always getting new features and QoL changes with @SkylitAI
Got me feeling like a kid in candy shop 😆
Being able to dim the lower value nodes helps a TON with visualizing the ranges 👁️
$AAPL might be presenting us a short opportunity with this double stacked 340 node and negative gamma air pocket down to 330
There are some nodes at 342.5-345 on 7/29 to keep an eye out on to see how they develop
320 for the 7/31 expiration is the VEX king node for this week and could be the area of interest for final target if the short happens
AAPL does have earnings on 7/30

@_mag3_ Thank you bro, competing in sport and trading have a ton of parallels and the experiences from them help me in both. And these lessons also apply to life in general
$FCX Update
- Reviewing this again because it didn't play out to the original plan. My cons got sloshed but maybe saved by OPEX 🤣
What happened:
- When I entered, the indices were actually moving up and the position was up around ~25% initially
- The problem was the indices were coming into resistance and started to reject and go sideways shortly after, which killed the follow through on FCX
- A sign that the setup may not have the positioning behind it to move cleanly is that the nearest expiration heat maps had very little dealer positioning compared to OPEX week.
- When there's minimal dealer exposure at the strikes closest to current price, the GEX structure isn't providing much support or magnetic pull
What the chart is showing now:
- FCX found support right at this ~56 zone where the indices also found their floor
- Atlas showed flow orders that sniped that low. Looking at the current GEX, 65 still looks like it's in play as a target
- The setup may just be getting started now rather than when I originally entered as long as it holds 60
Lessons taken:
- Low dealer positioning on near term expirations = less structural support for the move
- Don't just confirm the indices are moving in your direction at entry. Confirm they have room to continue and aren't approaching resistance
- When indices stall at resistance your individual name loses its fuel, trim or be prepared for the trade to chop
- The real entry was when indices and FCX found support together at the lows. That's the highest probability version of this trade
$FCX Review
- Rejected the 62.45 darkpool in the pre-market and opened below it where FCX overshot the 62 node for very small scale in entry
- Indices started dumping shortly after open, and FCX pulled back to the trendline for my next add
- Price continued lower into the 60.76 dark pool for another add where I entered there as Trinity confirmed the indices were finding their floor
- This is the key piece, tracking the broader market alongside the individual ticker gave a much cleaner read on when the pullback was actually done versus still unfolding
The heatmaps for this week/next week have very little dealer positioning compared to the 7/17 OPEX week, so this trade leaned more on TA and dark pool confluence than GEX structure. I still referenced the highest exposure nodes for the nearer expirations as a rough level guide
No acceptance below the 60 structural invalidation = setup is still valid
Overall lesson here: reading Trinity and tracking the indices while trading individual names helps you find cleaner entries and reduce drawdown, instead of forcing a fill on the first level that gets tagged

$FCX Long Idea 🟢
- Potential candidate for the full @SkylitAI ecosystem confluence through Talon + Chart + Heatmaps + Darkpool + Flow
- FCX has been playing between these two trendlines quite cleanly since the beginning of the year
- Minimal downside exposure below 60
- End of day Friday 6/26 dark pool print at 62.45 with a lot of flow on that day as well
- Using contract lookup on Skylit's Flowseeker, I saw that 70c 7/17 and 65c 7/17 were overwhelmingly at the ask + relatively low % multi-leg
- But also a lot of volume for 95c and multiple expirations for 80c that are mixed and more at the bid (not sure how to best interpret that)
For entry, it depends on where this opens up at. FCX is currently at 62.6
- Scale in entry at 62.45 darkpool
- 62 positive GEX node for a deflection point
- Pullbacks towards the trendline and into 60.76 darkpool/60 node

Glitch just dropped the Talon watchlist 😳
This is a gold mine waiting to be harvested. But only if you're approaching it the right way.
When this drops, so many people treat it like a trade alert service. They just grab the tickers, place the orders, and move on 😭
I get it though because Talon do be dropping some bangers 😂
But that's leaving the most valuable part untouched. The real edge isn't in the picks. It's in studying why those setups qualify.
Trading is a deep skill set. And one of the most important skills you build as a trader is pattern recognition.
Reading price action, identifying key levels, and understanding market structure. All of it is your brain building a mental library through repetition.
The more quality reps you get, the faster you start seeing setups before they develop.
Utilizing @SkylitAI's ecosystem of heatmaps/Atlas/flow is the same skill
Identifying King Nodes, spotting Gatekeepers, and recognizing air pockets = pattern recognition
Heatseeker adds a dimension most traders don't have access to. It's a forecasting layer.
When you combine the heatmap structure with your chart levels, you start to visualize where price wants to deliver. That picture becomes clearer the more you've seen it.
Talon is trained on Glitch's framework. Every setup it flags is a curated example of what high quality asymmetric structure looks like through his eyes.
Talon's analysis isn't just a watchlist, it's a study guide. Here's how I approach it:
- Open each ticker
- Pull up the heat map
- Study the node structure before you think about a trade
- Cross reference with your chart
- Build that visual library
The goal isn't to just copy the picks. The goal is to train your eyes to find them independently.
Because copying alerts can make you money. But true fulfillment as a trader comes when you can see the structure yourself and act on it with conviction 🤝🏽
$KEEL Review
- KEEL played out perfectly
- Initially bounced off the 5.45 dark pool level in the pre-market
- Retested the 5.5 node perfectly to bounce and trend almost all day
- 6c 0DTE went 0.02 to 0.16 | My 6c 7/17 are up 40% | Shares position zero drawdown off 5.5 and holding them on 8-20 EMA clouds to see how far it trends
- Confluences for this trade was the relative strength of the stock with it being able to hold its uptrend on the 8-20 EMA during this recent dump/consolidation on indices + stacked nodes across multiple expirations at 5.5 king node floor and very minimal downside exposure below it + dark pool levels aligning with the node
$KEEL
- Relative strength ticker that has been holding it's uptrend and has a solid map going into Friday
- Pika king node floor at 5.5 with a double dark pool at 5.41 + 5.45 and negative gamma air pocket above
- Bounced off 5.5 on Thursday already, so not a fresh node. Would be a double bottom
- But barely any exposure at all below 5.5 for these upcoming expirations
