Macro map
Single-stock momentum is easier to trust when the macro backdrop is not fighting it. Rising yields, a strengthening dollar, or oil pressure can change how investors value growth, margins, and future cash flows.
The dashboard should watch indexes, sector leadership, credit tone, commodity pressure, and volatility together. One input rarely explains the whole market.
A practical rule is to reduce confidence when the ticker signal and macro signal disagree. That does not mean the trade is wrong. It means the setup needs stronger confirmation.
