GUARDIAN
Institutional-grade macro intelligence terminal integrating macroeconomic indicators, options structure, and sector capital flows
GUARDIAN Overview
Macro-Tactical Command Center
Guardian integrates macroeconomic indicators, options market structure, and sector capital flows into a unified interface for real-time structural diagnosis of overall market health. An intelligence terminal delivering institutional trading desk-level macro analysis to every investor.

RLSI V2.0
Institutional-Grade Macro Intelligence Engine
RLSI (Relative Liquidity & Sentiment Index) is SIGNUM HQ's proprietary flagship indicator. It fuses 8 macro and microstructure factors in real-time into a single score (0–100) that quantifies the market's intrinsic health. This delivers institutional-grade context analysis—previously accessible only to Bloomberg Terminal and Goldman Sachs desk users—to individual investors for the first time.

Regime-Adaptive Logic
V2.0Automatically detects market regime (Panic·Risk-Off·Rotation·Risk-On) and dynamically adjusts the weight of all 8 factors. In fear regimes, Gamma and Volatility gain prominence; in bullish environments, Momentum and Breadth lead.
Insight Narrative
V2.0Goes beyond simple BEARISH/BULLISH labels to deliver 12 scenario-specific institutional insights based on Score + Gamma + Z-Score combinations. Examples: "Fear · MM Defending", "Surge · MM Stable" — enabling instant actionable judgment.
Z-Score Contrarian Engine
V2.0Calculates Z-Score (standard deviation) from 20-period RLSI history to automatically generate contrarian signals at historical extremes. Z < -2.0 triggers "Extreme Fear · Reversal" and Z > 2.0 triggers "Overheated · Correction" alerts.
Not just a score — context-aware market intelligence
Why RLSI V2.0?
• 8-factor real-time fusion impossible even on Bloomberg Terminal — unified macro-micro analysis in one platform
• Direct Gamma Shield™ fusion — options market maker positioning directly reflected in RLSI score
• DynamoDB persistent storage — regime time-series analysis enables pattern learning
GAMMA SHIELD™ V3
Options-Based Volatility Shield
Analyzes institutional dealers' gamma hedge positions in the S&P 500 options market in real time to structurally assess market volatility direction and sudden movement risk. A proprietary SIGNUM HQ indicator making gamma analysis — previously exclusive to institutional options desks — accessible to every investor.
Gamma Pressure (GEX Index)
Normalizes combined SPY + QQQ options gamma exposure (GEX) to a -100 to +100 scale. Positive (+): dealer hedging stabilizes prices. Negative (-): dealer hedging amplifies volatility. ▲/▼ trend arrows show day-over-day GEX direction.
Squeeze Risk
Measures the probability of short-gamma position holders being forced to cover (squeeze) due to sharp price movements. Explosive price movement potential structurally elevates above 45%; ≥70% is an extreme risk zone.
Trigger Band
Analyzes S&P 500 options chain open interest to calculate institutional price support (Put Floor) and resistance (Call Wall). Gamma Flip Point shows the critical price where dealers transition from long to short gamma.
Gamma Flip Point
V3The critical price where dealer positions transition from long gamma (stable) to short gamma (volatile). Distance (%) from current price is displayed; within 2% proximity triggers a regime transition warning.
Directional Insight
V3Outputs dynamic, real-time data-driven insights with price targets and directional bias in the header. GEX intensity, squeeze level, directional bias and price targets are immediately visible.
AI Integration
V3Gamma Shield data (GEX, Squeeze, support/resistance) feeds directly into Tactical Insight AI, enabling RLSI + Breadth + macro + options structure synthesis for automated comprehensive analysis.
Real-time Dynamic Insights
GAMMA SHIELD V3 auto-generates current data-based directional insights displayed in the header. Example insights by scenario:
• GEX ≥ +20 + Squeeze LOW → Dealer hedging stabilizes prices; volatility-suppressed range-bound zone
• GEX ≤ -20 + Squeeze HIGH → Dealer hedging amplifies volatility; high bi-directional sharp movement probability zone
• Gamma Flip Point within 2% → Dealer regime transition imminent; position management for volatility regime shift warranted
Real-time Macro Indicator Bar
Real-Time Market Pulse
Monitor Fear & Greed Index, VIX, and DXY in real time from the Guardian top bar. These three core indicators combined provide an immediate risk profile assessment of the current macro environment.
Fear & Greed Index
A composite sentiment indicator derived from 7 market data sources (price momentum, strength, breadth, options, junk bond demand, volatility, safe haven demand) compiled by CNN. Extreme fear zones have historically preceded market reversals; extreme greed zones carry structurally elevated correction probability.
VIX Volatility Index
CBOE Volatility Index
Forward 30-day implied volatility derived from S&P 500 options pricing. Known on Wall Street as the 'Fear Index,' it is the most direct reflection of market uncertainty and risk premium levels.
DXY Dollar Index
US Dollar Index
Measures U.S. dollar strength against a basket of 6 major currencies. Dollar strength generally creates headwinds for emerging markets and commodities; impact on U.S. large-caps varies by sector.
• F&G ≤ 25 + VIX ≥ 30 simultaneous → Historically extreme zone where panic-level reversals are frequently observed
• F&G ≥ 75 + VIX ≤ 12 simultaneous → Overheated zone where profit-taking pressure structurally elevates
• DXY surge: export/semiconductor headwind → Domestic/defensive relative strength zone
GRAVITY GAUGE
Market Strength Score
Gravity Gauge composites price trend, volume intensity, investor sentiment, and institutional flow into a single 0-100 score quantifying the market's structural strength. What requires toggling through multiple Bloomberg Terminal tabs is distilled into one intuitive metric.
Price Trend & Momentum
Sentiment & Flow
VIX / Volatility
Yield Pressure
• Gauge ≤ 40 → Bearish environment with dominant downward pressure
• Gauge ≥ 60 → Bullish environment with upward pressure; 40→60 transition zone carries elevated structural significance
• Gauge consolidating near 50 → Directionally inconclusive, catalyst-awaiting
REALITY CHECK
Macro Environment Scanner
Diagnoses macroeconomic structural health through PRICE FLOW, NDX/DOW 20-day moving averages, U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield, yield curve spread (2S10S), and real rates (REAL). Macro Tactical Alerts detect bond/gold capital movements in real time, capturing shifts in institutional risk appetite ahead of conventional news flow.
Simultaneous capital inflows into bonds (TLT) and gold (GLD) trigger a RISK-OFF ROTATION alert. This pattern indicates institutional capital migration from equities to safe havens — a crisis precursor pattern that typically captures risk environment shifts days before mainstream coverage.
NDX 20D / DOW 20D — Price Flow represents major index short-term momentum; NDX/DOW 20D indicates tech and industrial medium-term trend health. 100% means all constituents are above their 20-day moving average — an exceptionally strong uptrend reading.
2S10S — US10Y is the market's discount rate and cost-of-capital benchmark, 2S10S is a leading recession indicator with 6-18 month lead time, REAL is inflation-adjusted real yield. Sustained yield curve inversion structurally elevates recession probability.
⚡ Macro Tactical Alert — Simultaneous capital inflows into bonds (TLT) and gold (GLD) trigger a RISK-OFF ROTATION alert. This pattern indicates institutional capital migration from equities to safe havens — a crisis precursor pattern that typically captures risk environment shifts days before mainstream coverage.
• NDX/DOW 20D both at 100% → Strong uptrend; pullbacks interpreted as structural support zones
• 2S10S inversion (negative) sustained → Recession probability elevated on 6-18 month horizon; defensive sector relative strength
• RISK-OFF ROTATION alert → Safe haven preference strengthening, aggressive positioning reduction warranted
MARKET BREADTH
Advance/Decline Analysis
Market breadth analyzes advancing vs declining stock counts to assess the structural health of market rallies. Even when indices rise, narrow participation driven by a handful of large-caps signals a fragile structure with diminished trend sustainability. The first metric institutional desks check when diagnosing overall market vitality.
• A/D ratio ≥ 2:1 → Broad participation confirmed; structurally healthy trend environment
• Index new high + Breadth < 50% → Narrow large-cap driven structure; trend fatigue probability elevated
ECONOMIC CALENDAR
Event-Driven Trading
Displays schedules and estimated market impact levels for market-moving economic events including CPI, PPI, PMI, FOMC. Volatility structurally expands around HIGH-rated events.
• HIGH event D-1: Volatility expansion structurally anticipated
• Post CPI/PPI release: Initial 30-minute moves carry high noise probability; directional confirmation valid at 1-hour mark
• FOMC ±1 week: VIX spikes frequently observed; options premium expansion zone
TACTICAL VERDICT
AI Tactical Analysis
AI cross-analyzes all Guardian macro data to produce Status, Analysis, and Outlook in a 3-stage output. Incorporates VIX futures term structure and bond/gold capital flow cross-analysis for advance volatility anomaly detection.

FEDWATCH Rate Probability
CME FedWatch Integration
Visualizes federal funds rate change probabilities based on CME FedWatch data. Tracks rate cut, hold, and hike probabilities for the next FOMC meeting in real time, integrated with Gravity Gauge for unified analysis of how rate expectations influence market strength.
• Cut probability ≥ 70% → Market strongly pricing accommodative policy; growth/tech favorable environment
• Hike probability trending up → Tightening expectations strengthening; downward pressure on rate-sensitive sectors
• Probability sharp shift (≥20pp change within 1 week) → Market consensus realignment, volatility expansion zone
FLOW TOPOGRAPHY MAP V3.0
Sector Network Visualization
Visualizes real-time capital flows across 14 sectors (GICS 11 + Semiconductors, Cybersecurity, Clean Energy) through network topology. Node size and color indicate inflow/outflow intensity; connection lines represent inter-sector correlation. Safe Haven nodes visualize bond/gold capital flight.

• Capital-concentrating sectors (large green nodes) → Bullish structure confirmed for leading constituents
• Capital outflow (red nodes) to inflow sectors → Sector rotation observed
• Safe Haven node capital concentration → Risk-off environment, safe haven preference strengthening
SECTOR INTEL
Sector Deep Dive
Provides each sector's 5-day trend, volume intensity, and constituent-level real-time pricing. Quantitatively distinguishes between healthy broad-based sector advances and fragile structures driven by select individual stocks.
• Sector-wide advance + volume expansion → Broad-based bullish structure confirmed
• 5-day trend negative→positive transition → Early reversal observed at transition zone
