news_volume_weighted_sentiment

Range -1.0 to +1.0. The relevance-weighted average sentiment of articles in the last 24 hours, attenuated by `tanh(news_volume / 15)` so quiet tickers (1-2 articles) read near zero regardless of sentiment sign. Strong negative = loud bad news; strong positive = loud good news; values near 0 = quiet or mixed. Null when no qualifying articles.

Subscribe — webhook on a market-wide condition
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"q": "news_volume_weighted_sentiment > 0", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'

Returns 201 with the created webhook object; deliveries carry the tickers matching the condition at each evaluation.

Same grammar on scan and webhooks. This signal is live-tense only — it isn't historized, so ?asof= reads and series pulls don't carry it.
