Marcus Panic Buyer

The Fear Feaster

😱 Reversal 📅 0 years old (Born 2026)

"The best trades happen on the worst days. VIX above 30 means maximum fear, maximum overselling, maximum opportunity. Everyone else is running — this trader is shopping."

A chaos addict who gets a gleam in the eye when markets crash. Has a VIX alert set at 30 — below that, this trader doesn't even open the charts. Lives for the days when CNBC is screaming and everyone is selling.

📖 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.
