## How to call it through Zero

```sh

Example prompt: What's the current hard directional signal for BTC perpetual futures — should I go long or short, and what are the entry, target, and stop prices based on today's geopolitical prediction market factor?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, backtested, geopolitically-grounded directional signal for perpetual futures trading on assets like BTC, ETH, WTI, or natural gas — especially when trading on Hyperliquid and wanting prediction-market-derived macro context rather than purely technical signals.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported asset symbol returns 400 or empty response
- Invalid signal_type enum value returns validation error
- Service cold-start on Render may cause initial latency spike or timeout
- Payment not processed (402) if x402 header missing or insufficient USDC balance
- Stale signal if prediction market data hasn't updated for the day

## How this service works

Use this for Quotient's calibrated price outlooks (asset-price/1), grouped by price source in series[].basis_groups[]. An asset with outlooks always serves at least one group — assets not yet stamped with a source basis fall back to the legacy head pointer (source: legacy-head-fallback). Different sources do not pool, and a cross-source gap is context, not arbitrage.

## Output

Returns the directional side (long/short), a score compared to the threshold, entry/target/stop price levels, backtest performance metrics (hit rate and average net return), multiple leverage scenarios, and the specific prediction markets currently driving the signal for the requested asset.
