Uptrend Analyzer Skill

Purpose

Diagnose market breadth health using Monty's Uptrend Ratio Dashboard, which tracks ~2,800 US stocks across 11 sectors. Generates a 0-100 composite score (higher = healthier) with exposure guidance.

Unlike the Market Top Detector (API-based risk scorer), this skill uses free CSV data to assess "participation breadth" - whether the market's advance is broad or narrow.

When to Use This Skill

English:

  • User asks "Is the market breadth healthy?" or "How broad is the rally?"
  • User wants to assess uptrend ratios across sectors
  • User asks about market participation or breadth conditions
  • User needs exposure guidance based on breadth analysis
  • User references Monty's Uptrend Dashboard or uptrend ratios

Japanese:

  • 「市場のブレドスは健全?」「上昇の裾野は広い?」
  • セクター別のアップトレンド比率を確認したい
  • 相場参加率・ブレドス状況を診断したい
  • ブレドス分析に基づくエクスポージャーガイダンスが欲しい
  • Montyのアップトレンドダッシュボードについて質問

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+ with the requests library (CSV parsing uses the stdlib csv/io modules)
  • Internet connection to fetch CSV data from GitHub (no API key required)
  • No paid API subscriptions needed

Execution Workflow

Phase 1: Execute Python Script

Run the analysis script (no API key needed):

bash
python3 skills/uptrend-analyzer/scripts/uptrend_analyzer.py

The script will:

  1. Download CSV data from Monty's GitHub repository
  2. Calculate 5 component scores
  3. Generate composite score and reports

Phase 2: Present Results

Present the generated Markdown report to the user, highlighting:

  • Composite score and zone classification
  • Exposure guidance (Full/Normal/Reduced/Defensive/Preservation)
  • Sector heatmap showing strongest and weakest sectors
  • Key momentum and rotation signals

Scoring Zones

60-79BullNormal Exposure (80-100%)
40-59NeutralReduced Exposure (60-80%)
20-39CautiousDefensive (30-60%)
0-19BearCapital Preservation (0-30%)

7-Level Zone Detail

Each scoring zone is further divided into sub-zones for finer-grained assessment:

ScoreZone DetailColor

70-79Bull-UpperLight Green
60-69Bull-LowerLight Green
40-59NeutralYellow
30-39Cautious-UpperOrange
20-29Cautious-LowerOrange
0-19BearRed

Warning System

Active warnings trigger exposure penalties that tighten guidance even when the composite score is high:

WarningConditionPenalty
Late CycleCommodity avg > both Cyclical and Defensive-5
High SpreadMax-min sector ratio spread > 40pp-3
DivergenceIntra-group std > 8pp, spread > 20pp, or trend dissenters-3

Penalties stack (max -10) + multi-warning discount (+1 when ≥2 active). Applied after composite scoring.

Momentum Smoothing

Slope values are smoothed using EMA(3) (Exponential Moving Average, span=3) before scoring. Acceleration is calculated by comparing the recent 10-point average vs prior 10-point average of smoothed slopes (10v10 window), with fallback to 5v5 when fewer than 20 data points are available.

Historical Confidence Indicator

The Historical Context component includes a confidence assessment based on:

  • Sample size: Number of historical data points available
  • Regime coverage: Proportion of distinct market regimes (bull/bear/neutral) observed
  • Recency: How recent the latest data point is

Confidence levels: High, Medium, Low.


API Requirements

Required: None (uses free GitHub CSV data)

Output Files

  • JSON: uptrend_analysis_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.json
  • Markdown: uptrend_analysis_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.md

Reference Documents

references/uptrend_methodology.md

  • Uptrend Ratio definition and thresholds
  • 5-component scoring methodology
  • Sector classification (Cyclical/Defensive/Commodity)
  • Historical calibration notes

When to Load References

  • First use: Load uptrend_methodology.md for full framework understanding
  • Regular execution: References not needed - script handles scoring

Same-run provenance

Pass --run-id daily-20261017-unique to both required market-regime-daily producers. Without it each producer generates its own unique ID. JSON includes schema 1.0 data_provenance with actual primary timeseries business date, UTC retrieval time, source and run ID. Unknown adjustment, point-in-time, survivorship and corporate-action flags are false. Auxiliary summary dates are unverified; this does not certify the freshness of every composite input. Missing or malformed primary dates stop report generation.

Pass the exact JSON paths printed by these invocations to Exposure Coach's --require-provenance --run-id … --as-of … mode. Run IDs are caller-provided consistency markers, not authenticity or point-in-time proof.
