## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability quotient-wti-crude-oil-directional-signal-93422668
```

Example prompt: What's Quotient's current WTI crude oil signal right now — long or short — and include the live perp marks from Polymarket and Hyperliquid?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a geopolitical-prediction-market-derived directional signal specifically for WTI crude oil, including live perp marks. Prefer this over generic oil price APIs when you want a signal with a tradeable long/short thesis grounded in geopolitical conflict and diplomacy markets rather than technical analysis or raw price feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Service temporarily unavailable if Render instance is cold-starting (may have latency spike)
- Missing or stale marks if Polymarket or Hyperliquid data feeds are delayed
- No open trade episode returned if no active signal period exists
- Payment failure if x402 micropayment is not properly handled by the client

## How this service works

Quotient's crude oil (WTI) directional signal, driven by a daily conflict and diplomacy factor built from geopolitical prediction markets. Returns long/short side, z-score, intensity, the open trade episode with realized and live return, plus live marks from Polymarket perps (WTIOIL-USD) and Hyperliquid (xyz:CL). Use this for oil price direction, energy macro, Middle East risk premium, and commodity perp trading.

## Output

Returns the current WTI crude oil directional signal (long or short), a z-score measuring signal strength, an intensity rating, details of the open trade episode including realized and live returns, and optionally live perpetual futures marks from Polymarket (WTIOIL-USD) and Hyperliquid (CL).
