Export question: what do the heat, delta and signal columns mean?

  1. SpreadsheetSpecterFanOriginal post#1

    Quick one about Export. My CSV has columns called heat, delta and signal. Is delta the change since the last 15 minute read or since yesterday? And is signal the Oracle's call strength or something else? Building a pivot table and I would rather not be confidently wrong in front of my book club.

    I assumed delta was since yesterday and have been drawing charts on that basis for two weeks. Following with mild dread.

    Good questions. delta is the change versus the previous read, so it is a 15 minute change, not a daily one. If you want a daily number, take two exports a day apart and subtract.

    signal is the Oracle rule strength for that row, and it is blank when no rule fired, which is why some rows look empty. The Method page walks through how both are built.

    Perfect, that explains the blanks. Marking this solved. Would a short column glossary on the Export panel itself be possible? One line per field.

    Reasonable. Logged it. Until then the Method page is the source of truth.

    Useful thread. The blanks in signal had me thinking something was broken.
