Frequently asked questions
Using an anomaly watch page
Definitions for reading a calculated signal alongside reported trade observations.
What does the spike signal mean?

Is this a guaranteed market opportunity?
No. Use the signal as a research prompt, then validate buyers, specifications, tariffs, standards, logistics, pricing, and competition.
Why can a percentage be unavailable?
Some calculated changes are not displayed when the source value is outside a reportable range. The underlying observation remains available in the structured artifact.
