Reading the Star Signal

The Star Signal is our main trade trigger. It’s a scalping signal on NQ/QQQ built off the ZERODAY.EXE indicator, looking for outsized moves driven by algo activity where you can take a reversion trade for a quick bounce.

What the stars mean

Hollow stars
 — green is a buy signal, red is a sell signal
Filled stars
 — same, but stronger

The environment matters

A star in positive gamma and a star in negative gamma are not the same trade. In positive gamma, dealer flow dampens the move — you get more time to fill and reversion works. In negative gamma, flow accelerates — entries and exits have to be fast, and size comes down.

Check the regime before you take the signal.

NO INDICATOR NEEDED

The signals are called live on the broadcast every session, whether or not you have the indicator.
