Session record for 2026-10-06
This page records one dated trading session. It states the available price evidence, its source and coverage, and how the published levels compare with the recorded range.
Verdicts resolve against the high and low accumulated by the data vendor in the recorded range, not against the 30-minute snapshot grid. A level within that range counts as touched, including between snapshots; this does not establish the time or sequence of a touch. What this record is measured from

The morning levels against this session
Levels published for the 2026-10-06 session, computed from open interest settled 2026-10-05. They are a settlement figure for the session, not a reading taken during it.

They are dated readings, not a continuous feed, and they do not update through the session.

What this record is measured from
This record is incomplete: 1 of 14 snapshots are missing. What the log below shows is the captures that exist, not a full account of the session, and a stretch with no entry is a gap in the record rather than an observation about the market.
13 of 14 30-minute snapshots were captured, 10:00 to 16:00 ET. The 1 missing snapshot is a gap in the record, not a reading of the tape.
The captures on file run from 10:00 to 16:00 ET.

Event log, secondary detail
The log below is secondary detail. It is one line per capture on the 30-minute grid, kept so a reading above can be traced back to the captures it came from.
Snapshot event log only: Sampled on a 30-minute grid; an intra-sample touch is invisible to this rule. This log coverage does not determine the source of the verdict range.
Event rows carry the gamma model's reference price for each 30-minute snapshot. It is not the vendor's session close and the two can differ by a few points.
This log holds 4 entries from 13 of 14 snapshots. A stretch with no entry is a place this record holds no capture, not a place where the market stood still.
