— Beyond SPY — how this signal performs across markets —

Same fire days, different forward returns. Each row asks: when this signal fires, what does that asset do? The big number is the average return; underneath is how often the asset moved the same direction as the signal (50% would be a coin flip).

— Each fire in history — when the signal popped, what SPY did next —

Each bar is one historical fire — the indicator's value moved 2.5+ standard deviations from its rolling 180 trading-day mean (~9 months), or for monotonic “days since” indicators, crossed an 80th/90th/95th/99th percentile. Bar height = SPY's forward return at the selected horizon, signed by signal direction. Green above zero means the market moved with the signal; red below zero means it moved against.

horizon:

340 fires · 40% positive · avg −0.90%

Each bar = one fire day (|z|≥2.5 from 180-day rolling baseline). Bar height = SPY return over the the next trading quarter, signed by signal direction. Dashed line = average across fires.

Regime matters

This indicator's strongest predictive edge sits in Low VIX (calm): tuned σ = 2.5, window = 240d, horizon = 126d, hit-rate deviation from chance = 50.0pp.

Regime	σ	Window	Horizon	Hit dev
● Low VIX (calm)	2.50	240d	126d	50.0pp
● Normal VIX	2.75	90d	252d	41.7pp
● High VIX (stress)	2.75	90d	252d	43.3pp

Hit-rate deviation = |hit% − 50%| at the row's tuned horizon. Big deviation = strong directional edge in that regime. Regimes split by daily VIX terciles (low / normal / high) over a 1-year rolling window. Analyst + Trader subscribers will be able to filter the home grid and the fire-history bar chart by regime.
