# Market Signal

> Free financial dashboard aggregating 40+ institutional-grade market indicators into composite scores. Built for everyday investors who want to cut through the noise.

## What This Site Does

Market Signal is a real-time financial dashboard that pulls data from institutional-grade sources (FRED, Finnhub, CNN, CBOE, Treasury.gov, WSJ, FinViz) and distills it into easy-to-understand composite scores across four dimensions:

- **Composite Sentiment Score**: Aggregates Fear & Greed Index, AAII Investor Sentiment, Put/Call Ratios, VIX, and Market Breadth into a single bullish/bearish gauge
- **Composite Valuation Score**: Combines Buffett Indicator, Shiller CAPE, Forward P/E, Equity Risk Premium, Tobin's Q, and Price-to-Book into an overvalued/undervalued reading
- **Composite Economic Health Indicator**: Synthesizes GDP growth, job growth, PMI, consumer sentiment, CPI, interest rates, and credit spreads
- **Correction Risk Gauge**: Evaluates probability of a market correction using Hindenburg Omen, yield curve inversion, VIX term structure, and breadth deterioration

Additionally, the dashboard tracks liquidity and monetary policy indicators (Fed balance sheet, Treasury General Account, M2 money supply, US Dollar Index) as individual data points.
