● GAMBIT SIGNAL · FROM EVENT TO ATTENTION
Know what deserves your attention, and what to watch next
Gambit separates the signal process into three stages. The calendar shows the events the market already expects. The newsfeed grades new information by urgency and connects it to the names it affects. Alerts keep watching the price, headline or keyword condition that matters after you close the terminal.

The loop
Markets produce more information than anyone can watch continuously
The answer is not a faster feed. It is a repeatable order of operations: prepare for the catalysts already on the schedule, triage what arrives against them, inspect how far the reaction travels, and turn whatever would change your mind into a rule that keeps watching once you have stopped.
When the relationship is unclear, the Analyst can read the desk on your screen and help you question the evidence. It adds context to your investigation. It is not a source of market truth and not an automatic trading signal, which is why it sits beside the loop rather than inside it.
| Stage | Question | Desk |
|---|---|---|
| 01 Anticipate | What can move the market next? | Calendar |
| 02 Triage | What happened, and how urgent is it? | Newsfeed |
| TOOL Question | What does the context on screen support? | AI Analyst optional |
| 03 Monitor | What condition should bring me back? | Alerts |
One pass through it
What the loop looks like on a single event
- Before the event The calendar carries the release time, the forecast and the prior value, so an expectation exists before anything prints.
- When it arrives The newsfeed grades the headline and tags the symbols it touches, and the WATCHLIST chip cuts the stream to names you hold.
- To read the reaction Sectors and rotation show whether the move is one name or the whole complex, and the chart and GEX show where positioning sits.
- If it stays unclear The Analyst questions the desk in front of you, with your own model and your own key.
- After the first move An alert takes the level, the urgency threshold or the keyword that would reopen the question, and keeps watching it for you.
Reading the loop
Five situations worth telling apart
These are classifications, not verdicts. The point of running the loop in order is that you can tell which situation you are in, which is a different and more useful thing than being told what to do.
01 Scheduled event, high urgency, broad reaction
- The event was on the calendar
- The report differs materially from forecast
- The feed grades it tier 3
- Sectors and rotation confirm the move is wide
Possible reading. The market is repricing a scheduled surprise rather than reacting to an isolated headline.
02 High urgency, isolated reaction
- An unscheduled tier 3 headline
- One ticker moves
- Sector peers and factor leadership stay put
Possible reading. The event looks company specific rather than systemic.
03 A large move with no headline behind it
- A price alert fires
- No tier 3 item on the feed
- Sector or factor movement is broad
- Gamma is concentrated near the strikes in play
Possible reading. Positioning, liquidity or rotation may be moving this, not new information.
04 High urgency, weak price confirmation
- A tier 3 headline lands
- The named ticker barely moves
- Sector and index stay stable
Possible reading. The information may already be priced, may not be believed, or may matter less economically than it reads.
05 A catalyst approaching a sensitive level
- A calendar event is imminent
- Price sits near a level you marked
- GEX or the expected move says the tape is sensitive there
- An alert is armed
Possible reading. The reaction may end up more informative than the event, because the level is where positioning has to answer.
None of this is certainty. Gambit does not manufacture it. The loop helps you know what was expected, identify what changed, inspect the context and decide what deserves attention next, which is the honest limit of what a terminal can do for a decision that stays yours.
Questions
What is a market signal?
Something that changes what you believed a moment ago. On Gambit that is handled as a loop rather than a feed: the calendar sets the expectation, the newsfeed grades what actually arrived and tags the names it touches, the market desks show how far the reaction has spread, and an alert watches the condition that would make the question worth reopening.
How does Gambit prioritise market news?
Every headline is scored into one of three urgency tiers before it is displayed: tier 3 can move markets and stripes the row red, tier 2 is notable, tier 1 is context. The same three colours grade signals across the whole terminal. Urgency is a prioritisation judgment about attention, not a prediction of price impact.
What makes a headline urgent?
That it could change how the market prices something, rather than that it is dramatic. A scheduled print landing far from forecast is urgent. A restatement of something already known is not, however prominent the source.
What is the difference between a price alert and a news alert?
A price alert watches the tape: a level crossed, or a daily move larger than a percentage you choose. A news alert watches the feed: urgent news on tickers you name at or above an urgency tier, or a keyword rule matched against every incoming item. Both run server-side and deliver to Telegram with the terminal closed.
What context does the AI Analyst receive?
The desk you are on, attached as screen context and shown in a chip before anything is sent. It calls the provider you configured with your own key, which stays in your browser. The Analyst helps you question visible evidence. It does not grade urgency, originate a signal or make a trading decision.
