September 2026 produced 85 VPOC shifts across 3 trading days. Direction was balanced. Most active hour: 09:00 ET with 43 VPOC shifts. For every VPOC shift, the prior level becomes a Naked candidate; this month logged 78 Naked touches (prior VPOCs that price revisited).
At a normalized rate, the VPOC migrated 5.1 times per RTH hour on average. Each log segment held a median of 19 distinct VPOC prices and covered a typical range of 33.25 points from the lowest to highest VPOC observed within that segment.
Cumulatively, the VPOC traveled 226.00 points across all shifts this month — the sum of every individual shift's distance. The signed net was +13.00 points (up), meaning if you summed every shift's direction, the VPOC ended the month a net 13.00 points up from where individual shifts started. Per session, the VPOC moved an average of +0.67 points from open to close.
On the Naked side, 99 levels became naked during the month (when a VPOC shift moved away from them), and 89% of those were tested before their session ended. The median naked level sat untouched for 16s before being revisited; the mean was 7m 36s. The gap between those two numbers reflects the long-tail distribution — most naked levels get tested fast, a small number sit much longer.
When a Developing VPOC was active and a VPOC shift occurred, the shift landed on the DVPOC price 15.4% of the time (14 of 91 eligible shifts). This is a historical observation of how often the addon's Developing VPOC anticipated the next VPOC — it isn't a forecast signal, and shifts that didn't match still happened frequently.
Each shift here represents real volume migration — the market's declared fair value physically moving to a new price as that level absorbed more contracts than any other. This is one trader's chart-time during RTH, not a back-test; sample size for September is 3 trading days.
