DKMS Protocols (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta)

Alpha (Equilibrium Range) engages when both walls are solid, buying the 2nd ITM call at Aegis and the 2nd ITM put at Zenith. Beta (Ascension Vector) arms when support is solid but resistance is migrating up, taking ITM calls on a downward micro-dip while banning put purchases outright. Gamma (Cascade Vector) is Beta's mirror on the way down — ITM puts on the cascade, calls banned outright. Delta (Volatility Trap) is what's live when both bounds are migrating at once with no clear regime: no candidate clears the gate, and the engine mutes itself by design rather than guess.

No protocol is a setting anyone chooses — which one is live is a read of the market, recomputed continuously, not a preference stored anywhere.

Example: a session where Aegis holds firm at 24,800 and Zenith holds firm at 25,200 arms Protocol Alpha — buying the 2nd ITM strike at each wall, nothing taken in between. The instant Zenith starts climbing toward 25,300 while Aegis is still solid at 24,800, the regime flips to Protocol Beta and put purchases shut off entirely, without anyone flipping a switch.
