FAQPage Schema
What is a Follow-Through Day signal for market bottom confirmation?▼

You need an FMP API key to retrieve historical market data for FTD detection. The Skill uses the fmp_client dependency and requests library to fetch the daily price and volume figures required for market state analysis and rally attempt monitoring.

How do I detect market bottom signals for swing trading?▼

To detect market bottom signals, use this Skill to analyze historical market data via the FMP API. It applies William O'Neil's methodology to identify rally attempts, confirm Follow-Through Days, and generate a quality score for re-entering the market.

Does FTD detection work for long-term investing or just swing trading?▼

FTD detection works for both swing trading and long-term investing strategies. By calculating a quality score and assessing post-FTD health, it guides exposure levels whether you are entering for short-term swings or broader market re-entry after corrections.

What are the limitations of using FTD signals for risk management?▼

FTD signals carry limitations as market bottom confirmation is never guaranteed. The quality score helps gauge probability, but failed rally attempts and distribution days can still occur, requiring continuous post-FTD health monitoring for effective risk management.
