## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability apex-runner-combined-alpha-signal-755deb9e
```

Example prompt: What's the current combined alpha signal for BTC — give me the overall buy/sell verdict, the volatility regime, whale bias, and conviction score so I can decide whether to enter a position.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a multi-factor aggregated crypto trading signal that combines on-chain whale data, Bollinger Band regime, volume, ADX trend confirmation, and Hyperliquid funding rates into a single conviction score — particularly when you want a plain-English buy/sell recommendation rather than raw market data. Prefer over raw price feeds when you need pre-computed signal logic across BTC, ETH, SOL, or AVAX.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported trading pair returns an error or empty response
- Stale cache: cached_at timestamp may be several minutes old, not true real-time
- Payment failure (402) if $1 USDC micropayment via x402 is not properly submitted
- Low signal confidence: score near 50 may produce NEUTRAL with little actionable direction
- Network timeout if upstream data providers (Hyperliquid funding, whale trackers) are unavailable
