Underlying Pulse
Underlying Pulse aligns sampled intraday price, VWAP, moving averages, RSI, execution pressure, call and put participation and expiry concentration on a shared time axis. It helps test whether an options-flow interpretation agrees with the underlying market; its observed-bias score remains a weighted diagnostic, not a recommendation.

What the underlying pulse shows
The view is built for confirmation and contradiction. A price move can be compared with execution pressure and participation without pretending that one indicator explains the whole session, and the usable-data count shows when the score rests on incomplete evidence.

The screenshot above is from the working product, not a mockup. The visible controls and fields are the same ones trial and Pro users research with; only the market-data timing changes between the two access levels.
- Intraday candles sampled at option-print timestamps.
- Fast and slow moving averages, session VWAP and first-30-minute range.
- Weighted evidence checks with visible agreement, conflict and usable-data counts.
- Per-bucket and cumulative estimated execution pressure.
- Call and put recorded value, RSI and expiry ladder on the same session.
How to read this dashboard
Read the dashboard as one step in a sequence. Record what it directly shows first, then use the next view to test the interpretation rather than turning a color or ranking into a conclusion.
- Confirm the date, timezone, bucket interval and observed-data coverage.
- Read price relative to VWAP and the opening range before looking at the bias label.
- Inspect which evidence checks support, oppose or remain neutral.
- Compare execution-pressure turns with price and call/put participation on the same timestamps.
- Use expiry detail and a selected contract to continue the investigation.
What this view cannot establish
VWAP, moving averages and RSI describe past prices, while execution-pressure classification is estimated from recorded quotes. Sampling at option-print timestamps can omit periods with little qualifying activity.

Common questions
What does Underlying Pulse combine?
It combines sampled intraday price structure, VWAP, moving averages, RSI, estimated execution pressure, call-and-put participation and expiry context.
Is the observed-bias label a buy or sell signal?
No. It is a weighted summary of defined evidence checks. The supporting, conflicting and neutral checks remain visible for independent review.
Why sample price at option-print timestamps?
That alignment lets price and qualifying options activity be compared on a shared clock, but it can omit quiet intervals and is disclosed as sampled data.
