📊 AuditLens - Profit Quality Analyzer

Ever wonder if a company's profits are real or just accounting tricks?

This indicator helps you spot potential earnings manipulation by analyzing the gap between reported profits and actual cash generation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Calculates the "Divergence Ratio":
(Net Income - Operating Cash Flow) / Total Assets

• Positive divergence = Profits NOT backed by cash (risky)
• Negative divergence = Cash exceeds profits (healthy "cash cow")

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 SIGNAL GUIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔴 RED FLAG (>10%): High risk - possible aggressive revenue recognition
🟠 ORANGE: Divergence trending up for 3+ quarters
🟡 YELLOW: Divergence trending up for 2+ quarters
🟢 GREEN (<-5%): "Cash Cow" - strong cash generation
✅ HEALTHY (0 to -5%): Normal profit quality

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Add to any stock chart
2. Check the summary table (top right)
3. Look for RED FLAGS before buying
4. Prefer stocks with negative divergence (cash cows)

⚠️ FAMOUS EXAMPLES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Enron (2001): Showed profits but burned cash → Bankruptcy
• Wirecard (2020): €1.9B "cash" that didn't exist → Fraud
• Luckin Coffee (2020): Fake revenue, no cash backing → Delisted

This indicator would have flagged all of them.

📚 THE LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Based on forensic accounting principles:
- Companies can manipulate earnings (accruals)
- But cash flow is harder to fake
- Big gap between the two = potential red flag

This is NOT financial advice. Always do your own research.
