Composite Bias

Composite Bias

A single summary of several indicators, with no opinion and no recommendation. Finviro's term: “Composite Bias”.

What this bias is

Composite Bias (Composite Bias) is the platform's combined directional read: the summary of independent analysis layers (gamma structure, flows, breadth, macro, volatility) weighted into one lean with a stated grade. It is bullish, bearish or neutral, with a measured strength.

Why composite, not single

Because each layer has a blind spot of its own. Gamma cannot see earnings, the macro read cannot see the week's positioning, and flows may reflect hedging rather than conviction. Combining them lets the layers correct each other's blind spots. The stated grade (strong / moderate / fragile) tells you how much the witnesses agree, which is the most valuable piece of information.

How to use it

A weighting compass, not an order machine. A strong bullish lean means trades that agree with it carry a statistical edge, so they get priority and larger size, while trades against it are cut back, not banned. A fragile lean means the layers disagree: a time to reduce size, not to build conviction.

Hypothetical example

Positive gamma, healthy breadth and buying flows, but macro is warning: a moderate bullish lean, not a strong one. The dissenting layer lowered the grade. The trader works with the uptrend at medium size and watches the macro layer in particular: if it joins the bullish side, conviction grows, and if a second layer joins it, the verdict flips.

Common mistake

Treating neutral as empty: a neutral lean is a valuable, positive verdict. It says "no directional edge right now" and points toward neutral strategies or waiting. Asking the compass for a direction every day means arguing with an honest needle.

Its grade is the information

Not only the direction but how far the layers agree. Strong means conviction that deserves larger size, and fragile means disagreement that deserves smaller size. Neutral is a positive verdict, not a void: "no directional edge right now" points toward neutral strategies or waiting.

Where to see it on the platform

The analysis dashboards show it with its grade and visible components, so you can see which layers built the verdict and which ones dissented.
