FAQPage Schema
What is a Follow-Through Day signal for market bottom confirmation?

You need an FMP API key to retrieve historical market data for FTD detection. The Skill uses the fmp_client dependency and requests library to fetch the daily price and volume figures required for market state analysis and rally attempt monitoring.

How do I detect market bottom signals for swing trading?

To detect market bottom signals, use this Skill to analyze historical market data via the FMP API. It applies William O'Neil's methodology to identify rally attempts, confirm Follow-Through Days, and generate a quality score for re-entering the market.

Does FTD detection work for long-term investing or just swing trading?

FTD detection works for both swing trading and long-term investing strategies. By calculating a quality score and assessing post-FTD health, it guides exposure levels whether you are entering for short-term swings or broader market re-entry after corrections.

What are the limitations of using FTD signals for risk management?

FTD signals carry limitations as market bottom confirmation is never guaranteed. The quality score helps gauge probability, but failed rally attempts and distribution days can still occur, requiring continuous post-FTD health monitoring for effective risk management.
