summary: the overall daily bias on WIP works the same as it does on the screener — same logic, same color coding, same real-time updates. this article covers the WIP-specific details.
the WIP overall daily bias shows the aggregate bullish/neutral/bearish split across all tickers and reports in your WIP setup. for the full explanation of how the calculation works, what it measures, what it doesn't do, and how to use it, see the overall daily bias (screener).
WIP-specific notes
the overall daily bias accounts for all tickers in your WIP setup — not just what's visible on screen at that moment.
it's display only — you can't click it to filter your WIP. use it as a quick orientation check before diving into individual cards.
some reports lock their bias signal at a specific time. for example, the Power Hour Continuation report locks in the session candle direction at 3:00 PM ET. if you see "bearish" on that report at 3:30 PM, it means price was below the session open at 3:00 PM — not that price is falling in that moment. the overall daily bias won't move with real-time price until the underlying report updates.
how WIP differs from the screener and individual reports
the overall daily bias uses the same logic across WIP and the screener — but the inputs differ enough that the two can show different splits even on the same tickers.
WIP applies a lookback (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years); the screener does not. WIP computes each report's bias using the date range you've selected. the screener has no lookback — it reads each report's current state. that means the screener and WIP can disagree on the same setup even when nothing else differs.
both are configurable, but they aggregate differently. the screener reads each selected report's live state across your ticker × report grid. WIP rolls up the reports you've selected using your historical period, and only counts cards that clear your frequency filter. so a "bullish screener" with 4 reports is a different aggregate than a WIP setup with 15.
lock-in times affect WIP differently. because WIP setups usually include more reports per ticker, the lock-in behavior described above shows up across more cells. if a WIP cell looks stale, check whether that specific report has a lock-in time.
