Balanced watch. Track record validation (77/100) is the strongest signal; news sentiment (25/100) is the main constraint. Model confidence is 45/100 — some inputs are unavailable, so treat this as a directional research screen rather than a forecast. Long-term secular context is tracked separately: 10 Years +577.5% total; yesterday +0.8%. Comparable past signals have verified against subsequent prices 24.8% of the time.
Expected-return math is scaled by beta and realized volatility before confidence is applied.
Short-horizon expected moves are volume-weighted so thin moves get less credit than confirmed tape.
Sector momentum is included beside the broader market regime.
