Cards show facts: price, change from the previous close, and quote time. Colors and the score are model interpretation. How to read this.

Using the dashboard well
Start with the quote times. Then look across groups instead of at one card: are stocks, credit, and sectors moving the same way, or telling different stories? A rising SPY with rising VIXY and weak credit is a split picture, not a clear one.
Write down one fact and one question, then look for the answer in a primary source. The dashboard describes the latest session; it does not predict the next one.
Education only. MentorSurge does not give financial, investment, or trading advice. Confirm prices with your broker or the named source before acting on anything.
How to read this dashboard
The cards are facts: a price, its change from the previous close, and the time it was reported. The score, the market read, and the card colors are interpretation from MentorSurge's model. Keep the two apart.
What each group tells you
- Index Pulse
- SPY, QQQ, DIA, and IWM: large U.S. companies, the growth-heavy Nasdaq 100, blue chips, and smaller companies. Are most parts of the stock market moving together?
- Volatility + Rates
- VIXY holds VIX futures, so it tends to rise when investors pay up for protection. TLT and SHY are long and short Treasury funds; bond prices usually fall when rate expectations rise.
- Credit + Dollar
- HYG holds lower-rated corporate bonds and LQD higher-rated ones. When HYG lags LQD, lenders are getting pickier. UUP tracks the U.S. dollar against other currencies.
- Risk Assets
- IBIT (bitcoin), GLD (gold), and USO (oil). Each moves for its own reasons, which is why they sit side by side instead of being averaged.
- Sector Heat
- Six sector funds, from technology (XLK) to consumer staples (XLP). Comparing XLY with XLP shows whether discretionary or everyday spending stocks are leading.
About the ETF Risk Score
The score runs from 0 (cautious) to 100 (risk-on). Each of nine factors is scaled from 0 to 100, then combined as a weighted average using the weights below. Flat moves produce 50. It appears only when all 19 quotes are current; otherwise it is hidden rather than estimated.
| Factor | What it compares | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Index pulse | Average move of SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM | 16 |
| Volatility pressure | VIXY falling counts as calmer | 14 |
| Bond pressure | TLT and SHY moves | 12 |
| Credit appetite | HYG versus LQD | 14 |
| Dollar pressure | UUP falling counts as easier | 10 |
| Bitcoin liquidity | IBIT move | 8 |
| Growth leadership | QQQ versus SPY | 10 |
| Small-cap breadth | IWM versus SPY | 8 |
| Cyclical vs defensive | XLY versus XLP | 8 |
LimitThe score is not CNN's Fear & Greed Index or any official measure, not a forecast, and not a buy or sell signal. Its factors and weights are design choices that have not been tested as a predictor.
About the data
- Source: Each card names its quote provider, Nasdaq or Financial Modeling Prep. The server checks for quotes about once a minute. Prices can lag and may not match your broker. Do not use them to place trades.
- Times: every card shows when its quote was reported, in Eastern Time. During market hours (9:30 AM to 4 PM ET on trading days) cards show the latest trade. After the close they show the last session's closing or latest price; when the provider gives only a date, the card shows the date without a time.
- Missing or old quotes: during market hours, if a fund's quote cannot be refreshed, its card keeps the earlier quote with its time, says "Earlier quote", and gets a dashed top line, but only while that quote is less than 45 minutes old. After the close, a quote from the latest session stays current, because closing prices do not change. Before the open, the provider sometimes labels a pre-market price as the previous close, so the server checks each close against the pre-market change and leaves out any that do not match. Otherwise the card says no current quote is available. Nothing is filled in with zero or with numbers stored in the page.
- Colors: green and red show whether a move points toward calmer or more cautious conditions in the model (for VIXY and the dollar, a rise counts as cautious). Amber and blue mark funds without a set direction. Change bars are scaled to a 3% move.
