Supported markets: Availability depends on market and source coverage · Updated September 19, 2026
01 / VACUUM SCALPER
Find the Vacuum Scalper strip
The main dashboard shows Vacuum Scalper with the selected market, current state, detail and status. Select the market first and read the source message before interpreting the pocket.
No active void pocket or a message about no usable rows means the tool has no usable pocket context to display. A fast-moving chart alone does not change that into a confirmed pocket.
02 / VACUUM SCALPER
Understand what a pocket represents
A pocket is a modeled reference derived from available options-source structure. It is not a direct measurement that the futures order book is empty. Resting futures orders, traded volume and options-chain structure are different inputs.
Do not interpret an empty options region as proof that no buyer or seller can appear there. Price can pause, reverse or pass through for reasons the model does not identify.
03 / VACUUM SCALPER
Read the boundaries and current location
When a usable pocket is present, compare its displayed entry-side and exit-side references with current price. A destination beyond a boundary is a route reference, not a guaranteed target.
Observe whether price approaches, enters, traverses or leaves the available pocket. Use the latest state rather than a remembered label from an earlier update.
04 / VACUUM SCALPER
Add nearby structure
Check Price Control for observed areas and actual responses. Check Kaleidoscope or Wall Hunter for qualified mapped-wall context. An obstacle within the route can matter even when the pocket remains visible.
Matching options-derived references may share input data. They are not automatically independent confirmation of an expected fast move.
05 / VACUUM SCALPER
When the pocket is missing
Read the selected market, status and freshness messages. Usable pocket rows depend on available source coverage. Do not draw a substitute from old demo prices or carry yesterday’s pocket into the current session without current evidence.
Old examples involving automatic snap entries, preset stops or assured exits are not an operating promise. The displayed strip supplies context; your execution and position management remain separate.
