What your terminal won't tell you

1 · How do you write your calls?

You're long the stock and write calls above market. Tell the engine where you target — it tunes the cards to your style.

2 · How aggressive should the engine be?

Conviction floor hides weak signals. Slide right to demand stronger consensus.

3 · Earnings handling

Paid options through earnings get IV-crushed. How wide should the avoidance window be?

4 · Card-specific thresholds

Drill each tier independently. Counts update as you slide.

What it measures: how far apart the 8 factor families are pointing for one name, as (max − min spread) × (balance of pos vs neg), scored 0–100. Why you'd change it: raise to surface only egregious disagreements where a strong family-level signal flatly contradicts another (these tend to be the highest-conviction "look closer" trades). Lower to catch mild tensions. Today's snapshot: AMD at 94/100 (cross_asset +2.0 vs fundamental −0.8) — the stock is leading its sector hard while fundamentals are deteriorating.

What it measures: SEC Form 4 net open-market selling minus buying, trailing 90 days, parsed and netted at the dollar level. Includes only directors, officers, and 10% owners; excludes grants and option exercises. Cluster bonus when ≥3 separate insiders sell. Why you'd change it: $5M is the floor where insider-flow signals tend to be statistically meaningful (Cohen-Malloy-Pomorski found 6%+ annual edge above this band). $25M filters to only flagrant exits. Today's snapshot: NVDA at −$266.4M (10 sells, 0 buys) — one of the biggest insider exoduses in the book.

Note: this one is buildable in thinkScript if you set up a `RelativePerformance()` column. We surface it by default so you don't have to. Raise to filter chronic laggards. Today: NVDA −19% vs XLK over 60d.

What it measures: a composite score for "best premium-selling target right now," computed as composite × (1 − conflict_penalty) + 0.3 × options_family_signal. The options-family signal blends IV-rank, term-slope, skew, and put/call ratio. Why you'd change it: low (0.10) means show every name where the long thesis is intact and options aren't actively screaming "wait." High (0.50+) keeps only names with strong directional conviction and a vol-rich profile suitable for short-premium structures. Today's snapshot: top edge candidate is DELL at 0.45 (cross_asset +2.0, options signal +0.4, low conflict).
