A3 positioning extreme score

What it is

A3 positioning extreme score — registry key a3_positioning_score.

Raw dislocation score for A3 positioning extreme vs price: count of fired triggers (short-extreme + price-holding). Mirrors squeeze.py trigger-count shape. 0.0 when state=none. The options skew leg (Phase 3) adds a third trigger when options_legs_enabled=true.

Data-pyramid tier

T3 — Lens. This metric sits at the lens layer of the platform’s six-tier data pyramid (T0 raw inputs → T5 actionable read). The tier reflects how far the value is from a raw measurement — not how strongly it is validated. Abstraction and validation are separate axes: a higher tier is not a claim of stronger evidence.

Horizon & validation

No validated skill horizon is on file for this metric — read it as context / a data carrier, not a validated edge. Stamps are added only when a gated research verdict lands.

Source

Source module: screener
Data source: computed

Derived metric — produced inside the platform (app/sources/screener.py or equivalent) rather than fetched as a raw upstream value. See the How it's computed section below for the formula.

How it’s computed

count of fired triggers: short_pct_extreme + price_holding (+ options_skew_extreme when options_legs_enabled). Each trigger worth 1.0.

Where it surfaces

• API field: screener.candidates.a3.score on GET /api/v1/signals/latest

Health-score / alignment role

Data carrier — no implication, no health-score contribution.

Persisted for downstream consumers (sparklines, base-rate matcher, calibration substrate) but does not classify into BULLISH / NEUTRAL / BEARISH and does not contribute to the 0-100 health score.
