FAQPage Schema
How do I identify IBD distribution days for ETFs like QQQ and SPY?

Market risk is classified into NORMAL, CAUTION, HIGH, or SEVERE categories based on the accumulation of distribution days. This classification helps traders manage exposure by providing clear thresholds for when to reduce positions in ETFs like TQQQ and QQQ.

How do I adjust TQQQ and QQQ exposure based on market risk levels?

Post-market review is the optimal time to run distribution day analysis, as it evaluates completed historical sessions to classify current market risk. Running after the close ensures accurate risk classification and exposure recommendations for the next trading session.

Do I need an FMP API key to run distribution day backtesting?

An FMP API key is required to perform distribution day backtesting and historical session analysis. The system uses the FMP client to fetch necessary ETF price data, which is then processed using pandas to detect risk patterns and classify market exposure.

What are the limitations of using distribution day monitoring for risk management?

Distribution day monitoring focuses specifically on ETFs like QQQ and SPY and may not capture risks outside these major market instruments. It relies on historical session data and FMP API availability, meaning it is suited for post-market review rather than real-time intraday execution.
