0DTE put volume

What it is

0DTE put volume — registry key zero_dte_put_vol.

Zero-DTE put option volume; raw count, persisted on intraday_signals.

Data-pyramid tier

T0 — Raw input. This metric sits at the raw input 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 module: vol_structure
Data source: live_only

Fetched directly from app/sources/vol_structure.py; see source code for the upstream API call and any provider-specific handling.

How it’s computed

Sum of total put volume across every 0DTE SPY strike on the brokerage data session option chain, expiring today (ET). See app/sources/vol_structure.py:147-149.

Where it surfaces

• API field: zero_dte.put_vol on GET /api/v1/signals/latest
• Surface: daily_signals row (daily-cadence persistence)
• Surface: intraday_signals row (per-cycle snapshot)
• Surface: change markers in the rendered report

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.

Release cadence
