A higher score means stronger risk appetite, not cheaper stocks or higher future returns. Data frequencies and delays differ; missing inputs follow the published methodology.

Each input has its own data date, not one common trading date. Heat percentiles are direction-adjusted. Positive index days are not the share of advancing stocks.
