Leak Detection
The ⚠️ icon appears on announcements where pre-announcement trading patterns suggest possible information leakage. The platform analyses:
- CAR(-3,-1) — abnormal returns in the 3 days before announcement
- CAR(-5,-1) — abnormal returns in the 5 days before announcement
- Pre-window cleanliness — whether returns were unusually directional before the announcement
When detected, the leak signal can be filtered from the grid or via the Dashboard sidebar alert.
Compare CAR across announcements of the same category to understand which types drive sustained impact versus temporary spikes.
