Well, you'll need to confirm that you're checking the fluid correctly first- Engine at normal temperature, running, lever moved through all positions then into Park? If so, then it's meant to be between the two hot lines...
Has it been changed recently?

the reading on the dip stick was on the hot level marks but the engine was stone cold it had been standing all night and day

Well in that case you need to check the oil properly as per my instructions...
