Find Signals
find_signalsScreens for stocks or fund moves matching a signal type. Use this when the user wants a list, not a single stock.
WHEN TO USE: User asks for a screen, list, or "what's interesting right now". Types:
convergence: stocks with institutional coverage where 2+ available filing-source signals align
conviction: highest-conviction recent moves
double_downs: positions increased while price fell
new_positions: fresh entries this quarter
smart_money_buying: stocks with strictly positive conviction-weighted institutional sentiment
early_birds: first-mover funds discovering new positions
Examples:
"Show me stocks where smart money is converging"
"What are the highest conviction buys this quarter?"
"Which funds are doubling down into price weakness?"
WHEN NOT TO USE:
Use analyze_stock when the user names a specific stock
PARAMETERS: sector applies only to convergence; quarter is unavailable for convergence and otherwise defaults to the newest default-ready 13F quarter; min_score is unavailable for early_birds. smart_money_buying always requires conviction_weighted_sentiment > 0, even when min_score is omitted or zero. Unsupported combinations are rejected, never ignored.
RETURNS: A cursor-paginated ranked list with the relevant score and source metrics, a filing period for quarter-bound types, and an exact total when the underlying dataset supports one. Convergence is a mixed-source snapshot; because its backing view exposes no exact common data-through date, provenance returns null and data_status states that limitation.
VERIFICATION: Cite record-level source_url filing or disclosure links when present.
