Chapter 01

Read scanner rank as a priority queue

Trader question

Which asset and contract pair deserves my attention first?

Scanner rank is a workflow sorter. It helps the learner decide which row to inspect first, but rank is not a recommendation and should never skip source, contract, confidence, and history checks.

Desk checklist

Read rank as attention priority.
Name the row's asset and contract pair.
Keep the row inside a checklist, not an execution path.

Use the scanner triage game to route rows into inspect now, compare history, set alert, or ignore.

1Scanner rankPriority queueRank helps decide what deserves attention first; it does not approve a trade or replace the checklist.

2ConfidenceQuality before sizeA high basis with weak confidence should move down or out of the monitoring queue.

3RegimeLive, delayed, stale, estimatedRegime explains whether the row belongs in inspect now, compare history, alert, or ignore.

4Row actionsView, compare, alertThe action should route the learner into Overview, History, or Alerts instead of execution language.

5Ignore gateLarge basis can failA tempting large row can still be ignored when source quality, confidence, or contract lane is weak.

Scanner is an attention router. A row earns the next workflow only after confidence, regime, source freshness, and contract lane pass the quality gate.

Rank is a priority queue

A rank badge moves beside the checklist while execution language stays blocked.

A rank one row enters the scanner.

The rank badge attaches to a checklist, not an order ticket.

A blocked execution label fades out.

The final frame says inspect first.
