SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

TA screener reduces manual triage by scoring symbols, detecting anomalies, and selecting an actionable watchlist from a large market universe.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TA Composite Scoring: evaluates momentum and risk signals using EMA, RSI, Bollinger bands, and volume checks to generate a BUY/SELL/NEUTRAL verdict.
  • Anomaly Detection: flags PRICE_SPIKE and VOLUME_SURGE events for immediate attention via SSE.
  • Universe & Discovery: seeds a scalable universe and ranks symbols for tier-1 discovery and tier-2 screening, pushing results to the watchlist.

Quick Start

Run the scan workflow to score symbols, detect anomalies, and populate the watchlist based on the composite TA score.

FAQPage Schema
How do I score symbols and detect anomalies across a large market universe?

You can score symbols and detect anomalies by running a scan workflow that applies composite TA scoring rules using EMA, RSI bands, volume surges, and Bollinger Band positions to generate BUY/SELL/NEUTRAL verdicts.

What technical indicators are used for TA composite scoring and watchlist selection?

TA composite scoring evaluates momentum and risk signals using price versus EMA, RSI bands, Bollinger Bands position, and volume checks to rank active symbols for watchlist selection.

How do I flag price spikes and volume surges for immediate attention?

Price spikes and volume surges are flagged as PRICE_SPIKE and VOLUME_SURGE anomaly events during the scan, pushing immediate alerts via the SSE stream for real-time monitoring.

Can I use this scanner for tier-1 discovery and tier-2 TA screening workflows?

Yes, the scanner seeds a scalable market universe and ranks symbols to support both tier-1 discovery and tier-2 technical analysis screening workflows for watchlist population.

How does the scan output populate the watchlist and stream results?

The scan outputs TA scoring results and anomaly flags directly to the WatchlistItem table and pushes real-time event updates through the SSE stream for downstream consumption.
