What This Means
No trade happens in isolation. The algorithm looks at the broader market to understand if conditions favor your trade.
What We Get
Major Indices
| Ticker | What It Represents |
|---|---|
| SPY | S&P 500 (broad market) |
| QQQ | NASDAQ-100 (tech-heavy) |
| VIX | Volatility Index (fear gauge) |
ES Futures Correlation (For Crypto)
When analyzing CRYPTO trades, we check S&P 500 futures:
- ES > +0.5% → Bullish for BTC correlation
- ES < -0.5% → Bearish for BTC correlation
- ES flat → No strong signal
Market Regime Classification
The Macro Agent classifies the current market as:
| Regime | Meaning | Impact |

| Risk-Off | Stocks down, VIX up | Favors short trades or caution |
| Neutral | Mixed signals | No strong bias |
| Transitioning | Changing conditions | Higher uncertainty |
Cross-Asset Analysis
The algorithm compares:
- Your ticker vs SPY direction
- Your ticker vs QQQ direction
- Sector alignment (is your ticker moving with or against its sector?)
