Start Here — How to Read AZTMM

Start here

AZTMM is a free, end-of-day market-structure research publication run by one trader. No paywall, no signals, no revisions after the fact. Here is everything you need to read it well — in about three minutes.

What publishes, and when

Daily Pulse — every trading day after the close

The flagship read: what the options flow and dark-pool tape actually did today, what it means, and the specific levels we’re watching into tomorrow. Stamped at publication and never edited.

Weekly Pulse — Saturday morning

The week in numbers, the flow themes that persisted, and the biggest off-exchange blocks — the zoom-out layer above the dailies.

Pulse Lab — refreshed after each close

The live instruments: the Market Pulse Index (0–100 composite of trend, breadth, volatility, rates, credit, sentiment, rotation, currency and liquidity), the regime classifier, and the volatility term structure.

Accountability Ledger — scored mechanically after each close

Every dated statement we publish gets scored against what the market actually did — hits and misses, kept on the page forever. This is the part most publishers won’t show you.

Trading Academy — 55 free lessons

Options mechanics, flow reading, volatility, regime detection and risk sizing — the background to get full value from the research.

How to read a Daily Pulse in 60 seconds

  1. The strip at the top freezes that day’s numbers: MPI score, regime label, index closes. Note the as-of stamps — the MPI reflects the prior session’s close by design, and we label both dates rather than pretend otherwise.
  2. What happened / Why it matters — the tape, then our read of it. The read is an observation about positioning, never a buy or sell instruction.
  3. What to watch — specific levels with the condition attached. These become scoreable rows in the Ledger the next session.
  4. Names on our radar — the day’s notable flow and blocks, each with the signal and our one-line read.
  5. The Method Note — where the data comes from and what’s ours. Sources are accounted for line-by-line on the Data Sources page.

The two numbers people ask about

MPI (0–100): higher means observable conditions lean constructive; 40–60 is the no-edge zone. It describes the present — it does not predict next week. Full spec on the methodology page, changes on the changelog.

Regime (Bull / Neutral / Crisis): a statistical classifier reading the market’s mode from return patterns. It updates after each close and describes the current mode, not the next one.

What we will never do

No trade signals. No price targets. No revising published posts. No hiding misses — the Ledger exists precisely so you can check our record without trusting our memory. When an input degrades or gets retired, it’s disclosed on the Data Sources page and logged in the changelog.
