One page per recorded session
Each recorded session gets one page on SquawkFlow: the session record. It states the close, the three levels that were published that morning, and a verdict on each one: touched, untouched, or approached. No opinion, nothing about tomorrow, just the evidence and its limits. This is how to read one, using October fourteenth, 2026, a closed record. The header gives the session date. Further down, one sentence adds two more: the date the levels were computed, and the date the open interest behind them settled. Three dates, not one. Keep that in mind.
The verdict table
First block: the close. 7,718.94, down 86.51 points, -1.11%. Session high 7,789.15, low 7,693.31. The close is the settled figure, taken from the next session's prior close, not from a capture. That matters later. Second block: the table. Three levels, three verdicts. Call wall 7,900.00, untouched, closest approach 110.85 points. Put wall 7,500.00, untouched, 193.31 points away at the nearest. Gamma flip 7,739.61, touched, closest approach zero. The last column says where the session opened relative to each level: below the call wall, above the put wall, above the flip. Read all three columns together. On this record both walls are untouched, one 110.85 points from price, the other 193.31; the distance column is what separates them. And touched says nothing about how far price went through.
Where a verdict comes from
Here is the rule, in the page's own words. Verdicts resolve against the high and low accumulated by the data vendor in the recorded range, not against the thirty-minute snapshot grid. So touched means the level sat inside the day's high-low range, anywhere, at any time. Approached means the level sat outside the range, but the nearest edge of the range came within 54.2 basis points of it. Untouched is everything else. Two things the rule does not tell you: when the touch happened, and in what order. The page says so. A touch is a yes-or-no on the whole session.
The levels are morning figures
Now the three dates. The levels for the fourteenth were computed that morning from open interest that settled on the thirteenth. Open interest is published once a day, after the close, so a morning level always describes positioning carried in from the prior settlement. The page says it plainly: computed once in the morning, dated readings, not a continuous feed, and they do not update through the session. So touched means the session's range reached a line fixed before the open. On this record price opened above the flip and closed below it: the morning flip was 7,739.61, and the close was 20.67 points below it.
The event log, and the gaps
Third block: what the record was measured from. On this day, 13 of 14 thirty-minute snapshots were captured. The page calls itself incomplete and says why: a missing snapshot is a gap in the record, not a reading of the tape. That honesty is the feature. A stretch with no entry is a place the record has no capture, not a place the market stood still. Below that, the event log: a line for each capture where the model registered an event, and it is labelled secondary detail for a reason. The verdict comes from the vendor's range; the log only lets you trace a reading back to the captures it came from. On the fourteenth: ten o'clock, the session opened in positive gamma with the flip 40.8 points beneath spot, and the call wall relocated to 7,900 from 8,000. Noon, a flip cross: spot 7,730.49, through the flip into negative gamma. Note the log's spot is the gamma model's reference price, and the page warns it can differ from the vendor close by a few points. On this record the last snapshot reads 7,715.3 against a settled close of 7,718.94. Two sources, two numbers, both labelled.
The week page
The week page stacks five of these records into one table: day, date, call wall, put wall, flip, regime, and the session price. Under it, one sentence per day in the same verdict language. For the week of October twelfth: 7,807.24 Monday, 7,805.45 Tuesday, 7,718.94 Wednesday, each one stated against that morning's flip. And a line for the whole week, in the page's words: Every session price on file sat between that morning's put wall and call wall. That covers four sessions on file. A dated observation about one week, with its sample size in plain sight. It is not a rate.
Wrap
So: three dates, three verdicts, one distance column. Touched means inside the range, approached means within 54.2 basis points of its edge, untouched means neither. The levels were fixed before the open from an earlier settlement, the log is secondary, and a gap is a gap. If you keep a log of your own, session five of the Start Here path tells you how: count touched days separately from days the level was never reached, and write the sample size next to every number.
