Who this is for
Your first question is not "how much can I make?" but "what would prove me wrong, and is the book I am trading against honest?". This guide pulls together the Antick readings that answer it.
Read the six order-book states
Fake & Trap Detection watches every large resting order, records what actually happened to it and turns the result into six states: Liquidity State, Spoofing Pressure, Absorption, Trap Bias, Wall Stability and Execution Skew.
Check what was logged
The detection table counts each order-book pattern in the latest candle: fake walls, fake zones, trap zones, pulled liquidity and pulsed liquidity, with the imbalance and book distribution behind them. The trap map lays every resting wall along the price ladder as fake, cancelled or still active.
Define what would prove you wrong
For every asset and timeframe, Antick publishes a weighted bullish and bearish scenario, the risk conditions currently triggered and an invalidation zone listing the conditions that would break the read, including an exact price level on MSI. What you do with that is your decision.
Measure unusual book behaviour across the market
LBI aggregates depth strength and manipulation risk across every tracked asset, so you can tell whether unusual book behaviour is isolated to one asset or spreading across the market.
Read the volatility regime
Volatility Regime reads the market as calm, normal or stressed, next to the MSI Regime Map for the same timeframe, so the structural read and the volatility level sit side by side.
