October 2026: the side the tables favoured went first on 17 of 22 gold sessions, and the branch rated highest landed on 13
The monthly summary of every US AM session Atlas Sessions (GC) read on gold in October 2026: what the tables stated at the open about the Eurasia high and low, and what price did by the close. Daily charts are no longer published. How each session is scored is set out below and, with the daily charts, in the weekly record up to the week of 28 September 2026.
The month at a glance
Every session the indicator produced this month, grouped by the week it fell in. Rows are placed by trade date, so a week that runs across the turn of a month is split by date between the pages that cover it.

How to read this page
First sweep asks whether the side the tables favoured was the first level taken; a session that took neither level counts as a miss.
Modal branch asks whether the four-way outcome landed on the branch rated highest, out of high only, low only, both sides and inside.
Levels taken scores the Eurasia high and low independently, two events per session, against the mean of the stated probabilities.
Inside counts the sessions that took neither level.
A ~ before a share marks a cell whose shares moved materially between market eras, so the indicator is quoting an approximate figure rather than a settled one.
