Node Freshness — Strategy Guide

What is Node Freshness?

Every time price tests a key GEX level (King Node, Gatekeeper, or primary level), that level weakens slightly. Node freshness measures how many times a level has been tested and predicts whether it will bounce or break on the next approach.

Freshness Classification

Fresh (0-1 touches) — Level has rarely been tested. High probability of bouncing price — dealers are actively defending this level. Best for fade trades.
Tested (2-3 touches) — Level has been probed multiple times. Bounce rate declining but still viable. Watch for weakening reactions on each successive test.
Exhausted (4+ touches) — Level has been tested heavily. Low probability of holding — dealers have reduced their hedging activity. Best for breakout trades through the level.

The Decay Curve

Touch NumberTypical Bounce RateTrading Action
1st touch65-75%High-conviction fade
2nd touch55-65%Fade with tighter stop
3rd touch40-50%Neutral — wait for confirmation

Using the Node Freshness Report

Trading Strategy

Fresh nodes: Fade moves into these levels. Price is most likely to reverse. Use the bounce rate as your edge — a 70% bounce rate means 7 out of 10 approaches will reverse.

Exhausted nodes: Trade breakouts through these levels. Dealers have reduced their hedging. Once price breaks an exhausted node, expect follow-through as there is less gamma resistance.

Pro Tip
Check node freshness at the start of each session. Yesterday's King Node may have been tested 5 times and is now exhausted — don't assume it will hold today. Cross-reference with the GEX Regime report: exhausted nodes in negative gamma break even more aggressively.
