Signed Δ$ 0DTE (net)

What it is

Signed Δ$ 0DTE (net) — registry key signed_dollar_delta_0dte.

Net directional read of the signed delta-weighted 0DTE dollar-flow proxy over the live Schwab SPY 0DTE chain. FORWARD-ONLY research substrate — accumulating ~6mo to test vs the zero_dte_pcr baseline OOS; not yet scored or aligned.

Source

Source module: vol_structure
Data source: computed

Derived metric — produced inside the platform (app/sources/vol_structure.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

Sum over EVERY 0DTE SPY contract ONLY (today-dated expiry, both call+put maps) of aggressor * delta * totalVolume * 100 * spot, where delta is Schwab’s SIGNED greek (calls +, puts -) and aggressor = clamp((mark - mid) / half_spread, -1, +1), mid = (bidPrice+askPrice)/2, half_spread = (askPrice-bidPrice)/2. The continuous aggressor is a refinement of the spec’s binary Lee-Ready proxy (sign = +1 if mark>=mid else -1); it captures trade-aggression magnitude and stays bounded in [-1,+1]. See app/sources/vol_structure.py:_fetch_zero_dte.

Where it surfaces

• API field: zero_dte.signed_dollar_delta on GET /api/v1/signals/latest
• Surface: daily_signals row (daily-cadence persistence)
• Surface: intraday_signals row (per-cycle snapshot)

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.
