Levels · the record itself
What is in the archive, and what is not
A record is only worth something if the holes in it are as easy to find as the entries. This page is the inventory: what has been archived, what is missing, why each missing session is missing, and the rule that keeps a published line from ever changing.
The current session’s levels → The archive, month by month →
01 / What is archived
37 sessions, kept as they were computed
The option-positioning levels for Nasdaq-100 futures and gold futures are read three times a session — before the New York open and twice while it runs — and each read is written to a file with its own timestamp. The pre-open read of every session from to has its own page, and 111 individual reads sit behind those pages.
A session page is built the day after the session, never during it, and is not touched again. That is the whole of the method: there is no model here, no backtest and no revision. The numbers are what the chain said at that hour, converted to the futures contract at the ratio of that hour.
- Covered
- 37 of the 43 weekdays between those two dates.
- What a session page carries
- The pre-open levels for both contracts with the change against the previous archived session, the two later reads of that same session, the supply and demand zones that were on the chart where the chart was read, the episode recorded that morning where one exists, and the provenance of every number.
- Sessions with a zone reading
- 4 of the 37 published sessions, the first on 16 September 2026. A session has one only if the chart was read that morning; the file holding that reading was overwritten daily before then, so for every earlier session it is gone and cannot be reconstructed. Those pages carry no zone block rather than a reconstructed one.
- What is not recorded before 16 September 2026
- Until that session the pipeline overwrote its own files on every read, so the earlier sessions survive through the morning log alone: it kept the four levels, the conversion ratio, the contract price and the sanity check, and nothing else. Max pain, net gamma exposure, the put-to-call ratio and the fund’s own strikes are therefore absent from those pages. They are named as absent rather than estimated.
- Sessions with no gold levels
- 3 August 2026. The Nasdaq-100 levels for that session are archived; the gold chain did not return a usable read and the gold rows are absent rather than filled in.
02 / What is missing
6 weekdays with no page, and the reason for each
This table is generated from the archive itself every time the page is built, which is the only way a list like this stays true. A weekday that is not here has a page; a weekday that is here does not, and the reason is stated rather than smoothed over.
Weekdays between 24 July 2026 and 21 September 2026 with no session page
| Session | Why there is no page | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| No pre-open run | The chain was read later that day (14:00) but not before the open, and the pre-open run is what a session page is built on. | |
| No run | The morning job did not run and nothing was recorded. No page exists and none was invented. | |
| No run | The morning job did not run and nothing was recorded. No page exists and none was invented. | |
| No run | The morning job did not run and nothing was recorded. No page exists and none was invented. | |
| Market holiday | Labor Day: there was no session to archive. | |
| No pre-open run | The chain was read later that day (11:00, 14:00) but not before the open, and the pre-open run is what a session page is built on. |
A missing session is never filled with numbers from the session before it. An archive that quietly interpolates is not an archive.
03 / The rule
A published line is never rewritten
Once a session page is published, the numbers on it stay as they are, including the ones that turned out to be wrong. If a reading was wrong, the correction is added to the page with its own date and the original line stays where it is, so that anyone reading later can see both what was published and what was later known.
The same rule governs the files behind the pages. When a read arrives twice with different numbers, the first one is kept and the difference is recorded next to it. Nothing overwrites anything.
What this page does not contain, and never will, is a count of how often a level held. Counting outcomes across sessions produces a performance figure, and no performance figure appears anywhere on this site. Each session page says what that session did; the arithmetic across them is the reader’s to do, with the reader’s own definition of what holding means.
04 / Using it
If you want to cite a session
Link the session page itself rather than this one: each carries its own date, its own numbers and the hour they were read. A citation that names the source and the session looks like this:
Zonetta Trading, “NQ and gold GEX levels for September 21, 2026”, zonettatrading.com/gex/2026/09/21/
The mechanism behind the numbers, and the honest limits of it, are on the page that explains these levels. How a level and a supply or demand zone meet is on the method page.
