01

Breadth

How much of the market is actually moving with the index — participation, sector spread and the risk that comes with a narrow tape.
Dip Index preview

Dip Index

Market breadthView indicator
A market breadth oscillator that tracks the percentage of assets in a chosen index trading above a selected moving average — spotting broad pullbacks, measuring participation and judging whether moves are broadly supported.

OB/OS ZonesOverbought/oversold bands with signals when breadth exits extremes.

Statistical ExtremesHighlights extreme levels on price candles at ±2σ by default.
Custom ThresholdsConfigurable overbought, oversold and lookback settings.
03

Regime

The state of the tape and how much exposure it deserves — volatility, capitulation, trend consensus and position sizing.
Volatility Regime Model preview

Volatility Regime Model

Regime classificationView indicator
Analyzes volatility as a series of distinct regimes rather than a single oscillator — classifying states, tracking persistence and validating with bond volatility and credit spreads to output a dynamic trading bias.
Regime ClassificationLow, mid, high volatility and crisis cluster states.
Persistence TrackingMeasures consecutive days elevated, shifting bias with time decay.
Cross-Asset ValidationConfirms stress via the MOVE Index and high-yield credit spreads.

How far price sits below its 200-day and 48-month averages — the tactical and generational capitulation thresholds, shaded while either is active.

Generational ThresholdPrice 20% or more below its 48-month average.
Dual CapitulationBoth clocks active at once, shaded as the extreme reading.
Dynamic Exposure Model preview

Dynamic Exposure Model

Position sizingView indicator
A position sizer: volatility-scaled momentum across six horizons, cut back whenever the asset's own volatility runs above normal, and held until the target drifts.
Volatility-Scaled MomentumSix horizons scored in units of the asset's own volatility.
Exposure TargetTurns trend strength into a 0–100% position target.
Rebalance BandHolds the position steady until the target drifts far enough.

Ratios

Objective performance and risk readings — return against drawdown, volatility, downside and tail outcomes.
