## Install and import

```bash
npm install fintech-algorithms
```

```ts
import { marketWideDivergenceScannerAndRanking } from "fintech-algorithms/geometric-chart-patterns/indicator-divergence-detection/market-wide-divergence-scanner-and-ranking";
```

## Signature

```ts
marketWideDivergenceScannerAndRanking(payload)
```

Filters point-in-time eligible universe records and ranks them from explicit confluence, state, freshness, liquidity, and data-quality components.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `payload` | `{ topic_id: string; data_class: string; as_of: string; bars: { timestamp: string; open: number; high: number; low: number; close: number; finalized: boolean }[]; price_pivots: { kind: string; event_index: number; confirmation_index: number; price: number; prominence: number }[]; indicators: { name: string; family: string; polarity: number; scale: number; pivots: { kind: string; event_index: number; confirmation_index: number; value: number; prominence: number }[] }[]; parameters: { max_lag: number; min_separation: number; max_separation: number; min_price_fraction: number; min_indicator_delta: number; confirmation_horizon: number; invalidation_buffer: number; minimum_indicators: number }; weights: { RSI: number; MACD-Histogram: number; Stochastic-K: number }; as_of_index: number; universe: { symbol: string; state: string; divergence_type: string; confluence_score: number; freshness: number; liquidity: number; data_quality: number; available_index: number; eligible: boolean }[] }` | yes | Topic payload containing `universe` records and an `as_of_index` or bars from which that index can be derived. |

## Returns

`{ topic_id, state, ranking, eligible_count }`

One scanner record with `state` equal to `ranked` or `empty`; each eligible row has a stable rank and component trace.

## Errors

- When as-of index, universe score, availability, or scanner-state input is invalid — throws

## Complexity

Time `undefined`, space `undefined`.

## Worked example

Captured by running this function on the input its own test provides. Real output of real code — but not asserted against a published figure.

## Other exports

`adaptIndicator`, `alignPivots`, `detectDivergences`, `scoreDivergence`, `advanceState`, `combineConfluence`, `rankUniverse`, `runTopic`, `priceIndicatorPivotAlignment`, `regularBullishBearishDivergenceDetection`, `hiddenBullishBearishDivergenceDetection`, `multiIndicatorDivergenceAdapters`, `divergenceStrengthAndQualityScoring`, `divergenceConfirmationAndInvalidationStateMachine`, `multiIndicatorDivergenceConfluence`. Every module additionally exports `run` as an alias of its primary
function, and a `meta` object carrying its catalog id, domain, family, shape and article URL.

## Verification and provenance

Tier: **contract**.

The module loads, the entry point is callable and its declared signature matches the compiled code. The example below is real captured output, but no independently published figure asserts the numbers.

Both tiers guarantee the signature. Full explanation: https://docs.thefintechbuilder.com/guides/verification/

Generated from the docs.json payload shipped inside fintech-algorithms@0.12.0.
The signature and parameter list are checked against the compiled implementation at build time,
so a description that contradicts the code fails the build rather than reaching this file.
