Macro Alert Signals
AI monitors VIX spikes, yield curve inversions, Fear & Greed extremes, and Fed signals to warn you before macro events disrupt your portfolio.
How It Works
Macro alert signals provide early warning for systemic market events. The AI monitors VIX levels and term structure, the Treasury yield curve (2Y-10Y spread), the CNN Fear & Greed Index, Fed Funds futures pricing, credit spreads (HYG/LQD), and dollar strength (DXY). When multiple macro indicators align in a danger pattern, alerts are generated with portfolio-risk context so you can review exposure, hedges, cash levels, or other defensive steps.
VIX monitoring: spike detection (>20% intraday), term structure analysis (contango vs backwardation)
Yield curve tracking: 2Y-10Y spread, 3M-10Y spread, inversion/disinversion signals
Fear & Greed composite: CNN index, put/call ratio, market breadth, junk bond demand
Fed watch: funds futures pricing, dot plot positioning, statement sentiment analysis
Multi-indicator scoring: alert severity based on how many macro factors are flashing
Sample Signal
VIX spiked 22% to 28.5. Yield curve re-inverting. Fear & Greed at 18 (Extreme Fear). Credit spreads widening. Portfolio note: elevated macro risk; review exposure, hedge usage, and cash levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to understand macroeconomics to use these signals?
No. Each alert includes a plain-English explanation of what's happening and the risk context it may create. For example: "VIX spiked 25% — this can lead to several days of elevated volatility. Review position sizing, hedge usage, and cash levels."
How often are macro alerts sent?
Macro monitoring runs every 30 minutes. Alerts are only sent when indicators reach significant levels — typically 2-5 times per month during normal markets, more frequently during periods of elevated uncertainty.
Can macro alerts help me avoid crashes?
No system can predict crashes with certainty, but macro alerts can identify elevated risk periods. Historical review suggests this warning combination has often appeared before significant drawdowns, but it should be treated as risk context rather than a guarantee.
