Words from elsewhere
If you arrive from another product, some words carry over and some habits do not. Here are the matches.
A short dictionary
- Floor
- A supportive floor level is Æther's Floor: the nearest significant level below price, either sign.
- Ceiling
- A ceiling is Æther's Ceiling: the nearest significant level above price, either sign.
- Biggest level

- Stacked levels
- Several large levels at one strike across expiries are Stacked Titans, found on the Titan Screen.

A habit to leave behind
Do not carry over a colour habit. Read the printed value and the legend.
A reminder
These names mark places to watch. None of them promises that price will hold or turn.
