📖 HOW TO USE EACH FEATURE
🎯 SPY Day Trading Dashboard (60s refresh)
What it does: Analyzes SPY (or any ticker you enter) with real-time price, trend direction, RSI, volume analysis, and Opening Range Breakout (ORB) tracking.
How to use: Enter any ticker in the "Change Ticker" input field and click "UPDATE TICKER" to switch from SPY. Watch for alert badges (VOL↑, BRK, FLAG, OB, OS) that signal key trading opportunities. Data refreshes every 60 seconds.
📊 Market Overview (10min refresh)
What it does: Shows 4 fixed ETFs (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA) with price, trend direction, and %change to give you instant market context.
How to use: Use this to gauge overall market direction before making trades. Green arrows = bullish, red arrows = bearish. Updates automatically every 10 minutes.
😱 Fear & Greed Sentiment Gauge
What it does: Measures market sentiment based on SPY's RSI (Relative Strength Index) to indicate if the market is overbought (greedy) or oversold (fearful).
How to use: Extreme Greed (RSI > 70) suggests potential pullback. Extreme Fear (RSI < 30) suggests potential bounce. Use this as a contrarian indicator.
📈 Multi-Timeframe Trend Stack
What it does: Compares SPY vs QQQ trends across multiple timeframes (60m, 15m, 5m) with EMA and VWAP alignment to identify strong trend agreement.
How to use: Look for "ALIGNED" signals when both SPY and QQQ show the same trend direction across timeframes. This indicates stronger trend conviction.
⚠️ SPY/QQQ Divergence Detector (10min refresh)
What it does: Detects when SPY and QQQ move in opposite directions, which can signal market instability or sector rotation.
How to use: When divergence is detected, be cautious with new positions. SPY up + QQQ down (or vice versa) often precedes market reversals.
📉 Gap Analysis
What it does: Shows the overnight gap between yesterday's close and today's open for your selected ticker.
How to use: Gap Up = bullish open, Gap Down = bearish open. Watch if gaps get filled (price returns to previous close) during the day, as this is a common trading pattern.
🔓 Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Tracking
What it does: Identifies when the ticker breaks above or below the first 30 minutes' high/low range (9:30-10:00 AM ET).
How to use: ORB breakouts often lead to strong directional moves. Watch for "BULLISH BREAKOUT" or "BEARISH BREAKDOWN" alerts after 10:00 AM ET.
🕐 Market Hours Tracker
What it does: Displays the current market status (OPEN, CLOSED, PRE-MARKET, AFTER-HOURS) based on NYSE hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
How to use: Confirms if you're viewing live market data or delayed/after-hours pricing. Avoid day trading during closed hours.
