💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This section addresses the most common questions traders ask when learning to use Heatseeker™ and interpreting its signals effectively.
🟡 Is a King Node Always Yellow?
No — King Nodes are not defined by color. They can appear as yellow or purple, depending on whether the exposure is positive or negative.
🎯 What matters most is the absolute value within the node. The largest magnitude (regardless of color) is considered the King Node.
🧠 How Do I Know Which Node Matters Most?
Prioritize based on influence and structure:
King Nodes → Dealer settlement targets (highest probability zones).
Gatekeeper Nodes → Deflection zones where trend shifts often begin. These can prevent price from easily reaching the King Nodes.
Clusters of Nodes → When multiple large values group together, price often pins or chops around that region.
Double Stacked Nodes → When multiple nodes are stacked together, price can have a strong bounce from those levels.
💡 Think of node hierarchy like gravity: The bigger the mass (absolute value), the stronger the pull.
⏳ How Long Does It Take to Get Good at Heatseeker™?
Like any edge, mastery requires time and reps.
Typical learning curve:
Week 1–2: Recognizing node patterns and color logic.
Week 3–4: Understanding reactions and map reshuffles.
Month 2+: Building pattern recognition and confidence through replay/backtesting.
🧩 Most traders gain intuitive flow by the end of the first month, but long-term proficiency comes from consistent exposure and journaling.
⚙️ Can I Combine Heatseeker™ With My Current Strategy?
Absolutely, Heatseeker™ is strategy-agnostic and built to complement, not replace.
You can pair it effectively with:
Price action setups
Liquidity sweeps
Fibonacci retracements
Breakout/Breakdown strategies
Order flow or Delta analysis
✅ Heatseeker™ enhances your edge by showing where probability clusters, not when to trade. It clarifies context, not signals.
💥 What Happens if the Map Changes Suddenly?
If the map reshuffles, it means dealer positioning has changed — this is a feature, not a bug.
Take a step back and reassess the structure.
Mark new King and Gatekeeper Nodes.
Avoid trading until the new structure stabilizes.
⚠️ A reshuffle often follows large volatility events — like CPI, FOMC, or Power Hour — when market makers rebalance risk.
🧮 How Can I Validate a Trade Idea Using Heatseeker™?
Before entering a trade, confirm three points:
Node Context: Identify nearby magnets (King or Gatekeeper).
Price Reaction: Wait for confirmation or rejection wick.
Range Alignment: Ensure SPX, SPY, and QQQ are in agreement.
🎯 When all three align — that’s conviction.
