WHAT'S ON IT

Six frameworks. One page. Enough to work a live scanner.

1. The 9-Filter Conviction Engine

Every filter a signal has to pass to earn Grade A or B — premium floor, Vol/OI ratio, DTE, fill aggression, market maker detection, and four more.

2. Grade Thresholds

The exact premium floors and Vol/OI minimums that separate Grade A from Grade B. What reaches your screen versus what gets filtered.

3. Sweep vs Block Decoder

How to read urgency versus planned positioning from the execution type — and what the fill price tells you about conviction direction.

4. Vol/OI Reference

Thresholds at a glance — under 2x, 5x+, 20x+. What each range says about whether the flow is new institutional money or recycled positioning.

5. Accumulation Checklist

The four criteria for confirming institutional accumulation — same contract, repeat prints, aggressive fills, elevated Vol/OI.

6. Morning Edge Routine

The 30-minute window at the open where the most actionable flow hits the tape. What to scan first and what to ignore until later.
