Marcus Credit Crisis

The Bond Market Vulture

💀 Reversal 📅 0 years old (Born 2026)

"The bond market panics before the stock market. When credit spreads blow out and quality tech is deep below its moving average, you're buying tomorrow's recovery at yesterday's fire-sale price."

A cold-blooded vulture who circles when the bond market is bleeding. Monitors credit spreads like vital signs — when they spike past P75 and quality names are deep below their EMA, this trader descends.

📖 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.
