A practical guide to Ballistic Charm: what the screen means, how to navigate it and what to check before relying on a reading.

Supported markets: Availability depends on market and source coverage · Updated September 19, 2026

01 / BALLISTIC CHARM

Locate Ballistics in the main dashboard

Select the market and find the Ballistics (Charm) strip above EOD Pin Magnets. Read its status before interpreting any level. Available labels include resistance, minor support/resistance and the primary or secondary reference.

Market coverage depends on usable options observations and a verified relationship to the futures instrument. A live futures quote is not enough to establish usable charm context.

02 / BALLISTIC CHARM

Read the modeled context

Charm is options-model context. A displayed level or directional label is an inference from available inputs, not a direct observation of who owns positions or how a particular dealer must trade.

The model cannot establish actual dealer inventory from the visible options chain alone. Older copy that described dealer liquidation or defense as an observed fact overstated what the data supports.

03 / BALLISTIC CHARM

Compare references with the price response

Locate the displayed resistance and support references relative to current price. Then inspect what price actually does near them. A contact, rejection or break supplies different information from the existence of the options-derived level itself.

Use Price Control for observed area responses. Use Level Comparison to examine recorded wall context when timing matters.

04 / BALLISTIC CHARM

Treat unavailable as unknown

A Charm unavailable message means the input requirements are not satisfied. Missing, expired, stale or mismatched inputs can prevent a usable output. Do not reuse an old level as if it were a current verified reading.

A numeric input score is not a calibrated probability of a winning trade. Check the source message and contract status rather than relying on color alone.

05 / BALLISTIC CHARM

Understand shared sources

Wall Hunter can include charm-derived references alongside other qualified options evidence. Two matching labels can refer to the same underlying input; do not count them as two independent votes.

Read the source evidence on the wall table. A stronger explanation of provenance is more useful than treating an old material name or score as proof that price will hold.
