Playbook excerpt
Balance regime — momentum compressed, volatility tame. Bias: mean reversion at value-area edges. Targets: opposite VAH/VAL. Avoid breakout chasing; wait for confirmation after a single-side initiative print.
Lightweight heuristic. This public demo uses end-of-day data and a simple momentum/volatility z-score classifier. The Swing Desk uses a separate rule-based market check (volatility, breadth, and S&P 500 trend). Anonymous users get 5 reads per hour; sign in for unlimited.
Beyond the demo
What this tool is, and what it isn't.
This is a lightweight heuristic: momentum and volatility z-scores computed from about six months of daily closes. It is a teaching tool, not a trade signal, and it is separate from the rule-based market check behind our posted trade ideas. Want our trades as we take them, with alerts? That's Pro.
How this works
- [1] Pulls roughly 6 months of daily closes from a public price endpoint.
- [2] Computes log-returns. Builds non-overlapping 21-day windows on the baseline period to get a distribution of "month-shaped" returns and volatilities.
- [3] Z-scores the most recent 21 days against that distribution: momentum z (cumulative return) and volatility z (rolling σ).
- [4] Classifies: |vol z| > 1.5 → volatile. Else |mom z| > 1.0 → trend. Else → balance.
- [5] Composite strength = 0.6 · |mom z| + 0.4 · |vol z|, clamped 0–1 for display.
The math is on purpose simple and inspectable. You can break it. The full engine handles regime hand-offs, false-flip filtering, and intraday refresh — none of which fit in a free demo.
