Directional strength read straight off the session's bars: drives, drifts, spikes, rallies, exhaustion.

Query it

Every applicable form factor, grouped by endpoint family. Swap YOUR_KEY for the value from /dashboard/keys. Response payloads are real captures, sampled 2026-08-18 and trimmed — your run's values and dates will differ.

Use signals /v2/signals/{signal}

One signal across the market: who matches now, who matched then, and a push when someone starts. Docs →

curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/afternoon_drift_up" \

The whole market through a WHERE clause — this signal composed freely with any other column. Docs →

Subscribe — webhook on a market-wide condition

Use events /v2/events

The flag as a timeline: each edge as a point event, and the spans it stayed true. Docs →

Firings — every enter edge as a point event

Same grammar on scan and webhooks. This column lives in intraday state: ?asof= reads carry it at interval=1h with a timestamp, not at daily resolution.
