## 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 signalfuse-ema-5-breakout-strategy-signal-123075c5
```

Example prompt: What's the current EMA-5 breakout signal for BTC? Give me the direction, confidence score, stop-loss, take-profit, and how long I should hold the position.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a focused, single-strategy signal (EMA-5 breakout specifically) for a given crypto symbol, including actionable trade parameters like SL/TP and hold time. Prefer this over the fused signal endpoint when you want to isolate a specific strategy's view rather than a blended consensus signal. Ideal for systematic trading bots that use EMA-5 breakout as a core strategy component.

## Known failure modes

- No active signal — returns null signal with a reason field such as 'no_signal' or 'no_context'
- Invalid or unsupported symbol — may return an error or null signal
- Strategy unavailable or market data stale — signal may be absent
- Payment failure via x402 — request rejected if 0.001 USDC not provided
- Rate limiting — too many calls in a short window may be rejected

## How this service works

Individual arena strategy signal

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the signal direction ('long' or 'short', nullable if no signal), a confidence score (0–1), stop-loss percentage (sl_pct), take-profit percentage (tp_pct), suggested hold time in seconds (hold_time_sec), a reasoning string explaining the signal, and the strategy name and ID. If no signal is active, returns a 'reason' field explaining why (e.g. 'no_signal').
