7. Signal fields — sentiment + importance
Two fields on every post carry the editorial signal — use them to filter the firehose down to what your audience cares about.
7.1 sentiment — direction
"BULLISH" | "NEUTRAL" | "BEARISH"
Direction of the market signal. Neutral when there is no directional read (the producer threshold-gates this — most relevant posts get a directional label).
7.2 importance — strength
Integer in [0, 100]. How strong the signal is. The producer floor
for directional posts is 15 — anything below collapses to
sentiment="NEUTRAL" and importance=0.
| Range | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 |
Neutral; no investor signal at all |
15-29 |
Light directional commentary |
30-59 |
Substantive analysis or routine market move |
60-79 |
Specific calls, breaking takes, sized claims |
80-100 |
Major catalyst or market-moving event |
Filter with ?importance_min=N on /posts and /search to receive
only posts at or above a strength threshold. A common pattern: set
importance_min=60 on production widgets to suppress noise.
