Pick a stop. Get paid when the wick comes back.
Unwick is a ticket on one hour of SOL. You name a stop below the open, or above it. If the hour's wick takes your stop and the candle closes back past it, the ticket pays 10 USDC for every 1% it closed past your stop, up to 40.
A stop-loss sells you at the bottom of the wick and leaves. A ticket stays for the close. The 40 USDC is in the ticket before the hour opens.

Book. Your terms on every wick of 2026.
Thirty-six hours of 2026 when SOL wicked hard and came back, each rebuilt from Binance one-minute candles. Set a side, a stop and a premium, and read what each ticket would have paid and what each side would have kept. The rule is the same one that settles every ticket.

Ticket. The next hour, priced now.
A ticket names one UTC hour. The stop is set from that hour's first price, so you choose a distance, not a number. Buying closes 5 seconds before the hour opens. Settlement is 41 seconds after it closes, and anyone can send it.

This hour, live
$UNWICK. The witness.
Thirteen reads see the hour at five-minute marks. The wick that takes a stop is often gone before the next one. A ticket loaded with $UNWICK has a witness: it records the first price that touches the stop, the moment the feed publishes it.
What it costs
A witness record that arms a ticket burns 2,500 $UNWICK. Records that change nothing are free: a touch the reads already saw, or a price that never reached the stop. Whatever the ticket did not burn goes back to the buyer at settlement.
The witness only ever arms a ticket. It never moves the close, so it can not make a ticket pay more than the candle it closed on.
What it caught
Hours of 2026 a long ticket would have paid, by stop, with the reads alone and with the witness.
Replay at one-minute extremes. A real witness sees every published price, so it catches at least this much.
Problems. Worked on real hours.
Each answer is the rule applied to one replayed hour. Open the Book on the same terms and you get the same number.
