Screener High-Conviction Candidate

Alert ID: SCREENER_HIGH_CONVICTION
Category: screener
Cross-detection: no

A new single-name screener candidate appeared at conviction tier ‘high’. Fired per-ticker by the screener pipeline (app/signals/screener_alerts.py), NOT by the macro alert engine. Only fires when the candidate’s firing archetype is CALIBRATED (n>=30 matured samples) — uncalibrated archetypes never alert. The calibrated hit-rate is labeled in the message (honesty discipline).

Severity

INFO — positive signal or notable event; no action needed

Trigger condition

{
  "type": "computed",
  "computation": "screener_high_conviction"
}

Computed condition (screener_high_conviction) — the trigger logic lives in app/signals/alerts.py:_eval_computed. This alert does not decompose into a simple field threshold; consult the source for the exact semantics.

Message template

Screener: {ticker} — new HIGH-conviction candidate (conviction {conviction}/100, regime {regime_tag}, {calibration_label}). Worth a look.

Rendered with the current signals dict via Python str.format. Placeholders that fail to resolve fall back to the raw template (see _format_message in app/signals/alerts.py).

Cooldown / dedup

• Cooldown: 1440 minutes (~24.0 h) between fires. After the alert resolves, re-firing is suppressed until the cooldown window has passed.
• Dedup: at most one active (or acknowledged) row per alert_id at a time. Re-firing while active updates fired_at and the message but keeps the original first_fired_at.

Notifies

• Active alert feed (/api/v1/alerts/active, /alerts/summary).
• SSE stream (/api/v1/agents/stream) for real-time consumers.
• alert_fired webhook on first fire.
• alert_resolved webhook when the condition clears (non-cross-detection alerts only).
