How to read Wall Hunter response lights.

Wall Hunter rows show the nearby wall zone, the expected response, and the condition that proves the wall broke. The badges are status lights, not buttons. They update when Wall Hunter refreshes.

Support HOLD / FAIL A green row below price is support. HOLD lights when price is testing the zone. FAIL lights if price breaks below it.
Pullback PULLBACK / FAIL A lighter lower support area. PULLBACK lights near the test. FAIL lights if the support does not defend.
Resistance REJECT / RECLAIM A red row above price is resistance. REJECT lights near the test. RECLAIM lights if price accepts above the wall.
Tape LIVE / TAPE The yellow row is current price. It separates support below from resistance above and is not a trade signal by itself.
The short answer

The short answer

A wall is not just a line on a chart. A wall is a structure area where pressure, prior levels, options-derived zones, opening range behavior, or live market activity suggests price may need to prove itself.

Why wall levels matter

Why wall levels matter

A trader who knows the wall can judge whether a move has room, whether price is running into resistance, whether a reclaim is meaningful, or whether the trade is late.

How 01DTE maps walls

How 01DTE maps walls

Wall Hunter looks for meaningful structural areas and helps organize them into trade context. The goal is to show the wall, target, distance, pressure, and failure point together, not as disconnected chart noise.

Common mistake

Common mistake

Traders often treat every line as important. That creates clutter and hesitation. 01DTE is designed to focus attention on the levels that matter most to the current futures decision.

How this becomes a trade decision.

01DTE is built around decision context. The point is to see the wall, target, pressure, invalidation, and stand-down condition before execution.

Wall Wall The level price must deal with.
Reclaim Reclaim Price gets back above a wall.
Reject Reject Price fails at a wall.
Failure Failure The wall interaction proves the idea wrong.
