How the engine works
From headline to SIGNAL — the full cascade
Prices do not move because of headlines alone. They move because of chains of consequences most traders never trace. DEPTH4 is a macro intelligence engine: it reads the news, maps how stories cascade through markets, and turns those narratives into SIGNALS — live, tradeable views on assets with direction, strength, room, and thesis backing.
The live telemetry above is proof the pipeline is running. RSS ingest feeds discovery. Clustering and incentive analysis promote candidate events. Thesis intelligence writes D1–D4 cascades with conviction, timing, and affected assets at each depth. Room estimates what is still unpriced. Conglomeration rolls theses on the same asset into a single SIGNAL card. Tradability checks reject weak or contradictory output instead of publishing noise.
The four depth levels are causal, not parallel. D1 is the root event. D2 is the first market reaction. D3 is spillover into connected assets. D4 is the longer regime shift. Each level can hit different tickers — rates first, then sectors, then credit and leadership, then structural repricing. DEPTH4 follows that path so you see where the edge still sits, not just what already printed on the wire.
This page is a window into synthesis, not a substitute for the SIGNALS workspace. Use it to verify that ingest, cascade reasoning, and asset rollups are alive. When you are ready to act on direction, signal strength, and room, open the product — where conglomerated cards and contributing theses are the decision surface.
DEPTH4 does not surface raw wire copy as the product. Headlines appear after analysis. Weak or empty cascades are rejected rather than published. The HUD is evidence the loop is running; the SIGNALS page is where you decide. Public theses and Help explain the same standard in writing if you want the framework before you trade the labels.
