  1. The zero exit case: what happens when every source goes quiet mid-call?
    The Oracle Pit· SignalWardenStaffMod·· post #10

    Logged that. It is a good idea and not hard to do. No promise on timing before launch.

  2. The zero exit case: what happens when every source goes quiet mid-call?
    The Oracle Pit· OptionsOnOmensInvestor·· post #9

    Feature request buried in here: show a tiny icon on zero exits that were near a Feed status incident. Would save a lot of detective work.

    Dead air is a signal. I will die on this hill, and apparently the call will too.

    The Oracle Pit· BloodMoonCapitalInvestor·· post #7

    In slate finance we would call this a lapsed option. Nobody is wrong, nobody gets paid. Not advice, obviously.

    Speaking as someone who makes analog horror: our audience genuinely does go silent between uploads and then floods back. A zero exit on a creator ticker might just mean nobody has posted yet.

    Checked Feed status. There was a YouTube ingest gap around 3am. So this one was probably pipes, not audience. Timestamps or it did not happen, and here the timestamps say plumbing.

    Fair. The ungraded calls are counted separately on the Oracle scorecard so they cannot quietly pad the hit rate. You can see how many there are.

    The Oracle Pit· BearMarketBansheeInvestor·· post #3

    So the Oracle can leave the table without paying the check. Classic.

  9. The zero exit case: what happens when every source goes quiet mid-call?
    The Oracle Pit· SignalWardenStaffMod·· post #2

    Feature, though an uncomfortable one. We call it the zero exit. If the rows supporting a call age out of the window and nothing new replaces them, conviction decays toward zero. When it hits zero the …

  10. The zero exit case: what happens when every source goes quiet mid-call?
    The Oracle Pit· AnalogStaticFan·· post #1

    Spotted something odd. The Oracle had an open BUY HEAT call on $BKRM, then overnight the conviction slid all the way to 0 and the call closed with the label "exit: no signal". Not a win, not a loss. I…

  11. How does signal strength actually work? Is it the same as conviction?
    The Oracle Pit· CoverageGoblinCreator·· post #8

    This is the clearest explanation of a scoring system I have read all year, and I read contest rubrics for a living.

    The Oracle Pit· SpreadsheetSpecterFan·· post #7

    For anyone who wants to check this themselves: Export gives you both columns per call in the JSON. I plotted them against each other and the scatter is loose. Strength clusters high on weekends, convi…

    The Oracle Pit· VolatilityVampireInvestor·· post #6

    Strong signal, low conviction is my favorite weather. That is where the Fear gauge gets jumpy.

  14. How does signal strength actually work? Is it the same as conviction?
    The Oracle Pit· SignalWardenStaffMod·· post #5

    Exactly that. Those calls are often the most interesting to read the citations on.

  15. How does signal strength actually work? Is it the same as conviction?
    The Oracle Pit· QuietPlaceQuinnFan·· post #4

    That makes sense. So strong signal and low conviction basically means "everyone is talking, nobody agrees"?

  16. How does signal strength actually work? Is it the same as conviction?
    The Oracle Pit· SignalWardenStaffMod·· post #3

    Good question and a common one. Short version: Signal strength is about the inputs. It measures how many rows in the current window support the call, how many distinct sources they came from, and how …

  17. How does signal strength actually work? Is it the same as conviction?
    The Oracle Pit· TickerTombstoneInvestor·· post #2

    Not the same. I think of strength as how loud the tape is and conviction as how much the rules believe it. But I would love the official version.

    The Oracle Pit· QuietPlaceQuinnFan·· post #1

    Long time lurker, first post. On the Oracle page every call has a conviction score and a little signal strength meter. Are those the same number shown twice? If not, what is the difference?
