The Score Yuka is a composite indicator that summarizes, on a scale of -10 to +10, the market context of an asset at a given moment. Rather than a black box, here is its full methodology: every ingredient used, its exact weight in the calculation, and the final formula.
Each ingredient produces an individual sub-score, also on a scale of -10 to +10, before being combined with the others according to its weight.
The market makers' gamma regime (positive = dampened moves, negative = amplified moves), already calculated upstream in the GEX/DEX tab.
Contrarian reading of institutional positioning: an extreme 52-week percentile (positioning massively skewed in one direction) is treated as a potential reversal signal.
Fear & Greed Index (contrarian reading) for traditional assets, or the perpetual funding rate for Bitcoin — very positive funding signals overcrowded longs (bearish contrarian), and vice versa.
The spread between the short-term VIX and the VIX3M: a backwardation structure (VIX > VIX3M) reflects immediate market stress.
The historical win rate of the current calendar month, over several years of depth, for the asset concerned.
The dominant scenario expected for the next Fed meeting, with a direction calibrated per asset (a rate hike is generally favorable for the dollar, unfavorable elsewhere).
Recent buys and sells by company executives (source: SEC EDGAR), for individual stocks only. Reduced weight because the sample is generally small.
The rate of quarters in which the company beat its own estimates — a real track record, not an invented probability.
The relative performance of the sector(s) the stock belongs to, over one month, compared to the S&P 500.
For the dollar and covered currencies (GBP, JPY, CAD): the macroeconomic health score of the issuing country.
The crypto equivalent of the COT: a perpetual-positions ratio too heavily skewed long is read as a bearish contrarian signal, and vice versa.
The price's current position within its 52-week range — close to the year's high or low.
Whether the price is currently in an active Fair Value Gap or Order Block zone (bullish or bearish), detected in the Stocks tab.
The final score is a weighted average of all sub-scores actually available for the asset:
The final score is translated into a text signal using the following thresholds:
| Score | Signal |
|---|---|
| +5 to +10 | Strong Buy |
| +2 to +5 | Buy |
| -2 to +2 | Neutral |
| -5 to -2 | Sell |
| -10 to -5 | Strong Sell |
On every asset page, the complete calculation detail is shown: every ingredient used, its individual sub-score, its weight, and a clear explanatory sentence (for example "12% percentile over 52 wks" for COT). Nothing is hidden.
