📊Daily Briefing

Your morning market overview — everything you need before the bell, on one screen.

Market Pulse — SPY & QQQ▸
Shows current price, 1-day/5-day/21-day change, 50 DMA, 200 DMA, and RSI for both S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Color-coded: green = bullish, red = bearish. The verdict (BULLISH / CAUTION / BEARISH) is computed from 7 inputs.

Open Briefing →
Big Picture — Weekly & Monthly Charts▸
Four mini charts showing SPY and QQQ on weekly (5-year) and monthly (10-year) timeframes with 40-week / 12-month moving averages. DeMark 9 and 13 exhaustion counts are shown as colored dots. Badge shows "Both above 12MA" (green), "Both below" (red), or "Mixed" (amber).
1If both SPY and QQQ are above their 12-month MA → long-term trend is UP
2If DeMark 13 SELL appears → expect potential reversal, reduce exposure
3If DeMark 9 BUY appears after a decline → watch for bounce opportunity
Macro Regime Engine▸
7 directional signals scored -2 to +2: credit spreads, interest rates, market breadth, sector leadership, sector rotation, Zweig Breadth Thrust, and global risk. The composite determines the market regime: RISK ON (buy aggressively), NEUTRAL (selective buying), or RISK OFF (defensive positioning).
Visit /regime once to populate the cache. After that, it appears automatically in the briefing.
Prediction Markets▸
Live data from Polymarket — real money prediction markets. Shows probability percentages for financial events: Fed rate decisions, recession odds, inflation, geopolitical events.

🔍Stock Screener & Factor Scoring

Scan 500+ stocks across 36 quantitative factors and find the strongest setups.

Alpha Quadrant Classification▸
Every stock is plotted on two axes: Composite Alpha (quality score from 36 factors) and Market Position (short-term momentum). This creates four quadrants:
GGREEN — Valid Buy: High alpha + positive momentum. Strongest setups.
TTEAL — Alpha Buy: High alpha but negative momentum. Quality stocks pulling back — potential entry points.
GGRAY — Caution: Low alpha + positive momentum. Momentum without quality — risky.
RRED — Sell Signal: Low alpha + negative momentum. Avoid or exit.
