What does Market Radar show?

Market Radar is your daily market analysis: it sums up the current state of the stock market as a whole in one simple read.

Green constructive market environment
Yellow neutral or unclear phase
Red more defensive environment, elevated risk
Important: Market Radar is not a trading signal. It doesn’t replace your own strategy or your individual analysis. Instead, it shows you whether the market is currently offering a tailwind, a headwind or an unclear transition.

How is the daily whole-market analysis built?

The analysis is based on 15 factors, grouped into four broad areas:

Volatility

How much stress is the options market currently pricing in?

Trend

How stable and broadly supported is the current market move?

Fundamentals

How are sentiment, seasonality and the macroeconomic backdrop playing out?

Futures curve

What does the VIX futures structure say about expectations for the coming weeks?

Together, these factors form an overall picture of the market. Individual indicators can spike in the short term, but it becomes far more meaningful when several factors point the same way at once.

How to use Market Radar in your morning routine

Start with the overall reading: is the market currently constructive, neutral or defensive? Then it’s worth looking into the individual blocks. If only one indicator is red, for example, that can be noise. But as soon as several indicators across volatility, trend or the futures curve turn at the same time, that’s a stronger warning sign.

So use Market Radar as a daily market analysis and context filter before your trading day. It helps you frame your own analysis, choose your risk budget more deliberately, and avoid starting from scratch every morning.

What Market Radar is not

Market Radar is not investment advice, not a buy signal and not a short recommendation. A green environment doesn’t automatically mean every long trade makes sense. Likewise, a red environment doesn’t automatically mean the market falls right away.

It shows the state of the whole market — not your next trade.
