Question 1

Is this investment advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Every signal on MarketGrep is descriptive, not prescriptive. There is no buy or sell recommendation anywhere on the site.

Question 2

How often does the data update?

Accepted Answer

All scores refresh once per trading day, after US market close (16:00 ET). The site is intentionally a daily snapshot rather than an intraday tracker.

Question 3

What does the market temperature measure?

Accepted Answer

A composite reading blending market breadth, momentum, volatility regime, and trend quality. Higher means a hotter, more risk-on tape; lower means cooler and more defensive.

Question 4

What is the turbulence index?

Accepted Answer

A multivariate distance measure showing how far today's cross-asset return vector is from its trailing covariance-implied normal. High readings flag regime shifts before they show up in headline indices.
