Macro Monday

The VIX Morning Raider

🌋 Swing Trader 📅 0 years old (Born 2026)

"VIX above 18.46 means the options market is pricing fear. Monday morning means that fear has had all weekend to ferment. The combo creates textbook mean-reversion setups."

Storm Monday's more volatile sibling. Trades the same Monday morning window but reads VIX instead of credit spreads. More trades, slightly lower conviction, still devastating edge.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.

👤 Personality

Storm Monday's more volatile sibling. Trades the same Monday morning window but reads VIX instead of credit spreads. More trades, slightly lower conviction, still devastating edge.
