Watchlist Monitor (Signal API)
A pre-configured watchlist + Signal API setup for analyst desks. Continuous Skeptic-cleared signals on a chosen ticker universe, fanned out to your stack via webhook or REST poll.
Overview
The Watchlist Monitor template is the canonical setup for B2B Standard tenants: analyst desks, RIAs, and small funds that want a verified signal stream on a focused universe (10–50 tickers) without configuring the full pipeline by hand. The pipeline runs continuously, the Skeptic enforces the 2-source rule, and cleared signals push directly to your Slack, internal portfolio system, or research notebook.
What it covers
Earnings & fundamentals
Earnings call distillation, guidance changes, revenue surprises, and consensus estimate revisions for the watchlist universe.
Filings
8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, S-1, and 13F event signals. Filing-driven signals are produced within 3 minutes of EDGAR availability.
Quant context
Vol regime (IV vs RV), earnings proximity, options flow, and short-interest deltas attached to every signal.
Verified secondary sources
Wires, regulator press, and (filtered, never primary) social. The Skeptic vetoes anything that fails the 2-source rule.
Example signals
Source 1: 10-Q filing (Tier 1). Source 2: earnings call transcript (Tier 2). Skeptic: PASS. Quant context: IV crush 22%, RV stable, 1d post-earnings. Day-1 conditions in the Investment Diary intact.
Source 1: 8-K (Tier 1). Source 2: prepared remarks (Tier 2). Skeptic: PASS with caveat. Day-1 condition ‘FCF margin expanding’ now at risk — Thesis Guard escalates.
Tick-driven by streaming market data. Stop-loss watcher fired the alert. Evidence Vault retains the trigger price, reference level, and timestamp. You decide the next step.
Recommended configuration
