% distance from 50-day SMA

What it is

% distance from 50-day SMA — registry key screener_sma_dist_50.

Per-ticker percentage distance of close from its 50-day simple moving average. Stored in screener_features_daily.

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

(close - SMA(close, 50)) / SMA(close, 50). NULL when fewer than 50 rows.

Where it surfaces

• API field: screener.features.sma_dist_50 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.
