The call, its components and its invalidation conditions
The call is a weighted composite of four components — trend, options skew, regime and anomaly. Each component's score and weight are listed below, with the conditions that would invalidate the call. Where the computation ran on a sealed price series, the call can be re-derived from that series. names the conditions that would flip its own answer. Every vote is shown below, with the sealed price history behind it where one exists.
Components — score × weight
Each component scores from −1 (bearish) to +1 (bullish); the composite is the weighted sum: +0.16.
The chart reads up (Constructive).
Options show downside skew (risk-reversal -6.7pt), ±1.2% implied move.
Invalidation conditions
- Trend & momentum flips — the 50-day trend reverses (price closes through the 50-day average) — it is the call's biggest support (+0.297).
- Options skew strengthens against the call — it already leans the other way (-0.5437) — the main bear thread.
- the recent unusual price action (42 flagged bars) resolves the other way — it is suppressing conviction right now.
If none of these triggers, the call stands.
Re-derive recomputes the call from the parts above and checks it against the seal.
Reference — indicator definitions
- Composite score
- The weighted sum of every component's vote, from −1 (bearish) to +1 (bullish). Above +0.15 = BUY, below −0.15 = SELL, in between = HOLD.
- Conviction
- How much to trust the call — high when the components agree and recent price action is calm, low when they disagree or the tape is choppy.
- Risk-reversal
- The price of upside calls minus downside puts in implied-vol terms. Persistently negative for stocks; a big swing signals a shift in how the options market is positioned.
- Self-falsification
- AtlasVector stating, up front, the specific evidence that would make this call wrong — the opposite of a confident black box.
- Regime
- The cross-asset backdrop (risk-on vs risk-off) and how crowded the positioning is; a crowded trade has less fuel left.
