## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, AI-generated trading signal specifically from APEX Runner's evolution model, particularly when integrating with autonomous crypto trading agents on Kraken, Coinbase, or Hyperliquid. Prefer this over generic market data APIs when you want an opinionated directional signal rather than raw price data.
