History & Settlement Signals

Sharp / mainstream divergence

How far the mainstream market sits from the sharp one, per market.

Compares DE-VIGGED probabilities, never prices. Books carry different margins, so a sharp book at 2% against a soft one at 8% shows a wide price gap on a market they agree about perfectly — comparing prices measures margin and calls it disagreement.

gap is mainstream minus sharp per selection. A positive gap means the mainstream market rates that selection higher than the sharp market does, which is the side to fade. Markets are ordered by max_gap, so a truncated response keeps the useful half.

Read sharp_book_count and mainstream_book_count before acting: a consensus of one book is a price, not a market.

Markets where either side has not priced every selection are omitted rather than reported. De-vigging a partial market normalizes over a subset, which inflates every probability in it and manufactures a gap out of a quote we simply did not collect.

Requires the signals entitlement (Max plan). See Responses & Errors for the success envelope and availability rules.
