The score is activity, not accuracy
Our 0–100 score sums how MUCH is happening — unusual volume, relative stock volume, price movement, catalyst strength. It's a measure of how loud a ticker is right now, by design.
It is not a probability that the trade works. An 80 doesn't mean “80% likely to go up.” It means “a lot of unusual activity here.” We keep those two ideas separate on purpose — most tools blur them, and that's how people get burned.
Bias, catalysts, and risk
The bias (bullish/bearish/neutral) is our best read on which way the flow leans — useful context, not a guarantee. Always pair it with the catalyst: a signal with a real news reason behind it is more meaningful than one without.
Every signal shows a risk note. Read it. The fastest way to misuse flow data is to see the exciting part and skip the caveat.
