Economic Macro Dashboard (DeadCat)

This indicator provides a compact, data-driven view of key U.S. macroeconomic conditions and market sentiment — directly on your TradingView chart.

The dashboard aggregates several fundamental datasets from TradingView’s built-in *economic data feeds* (such as CPI, GDP growth, Fed Funds Rate, NFP, and Unemployment), along with major market benchmarks (VIX, DXY, Gold, and 2-Year Treasury Yield). It tracks the latest value and change from the previous update to evaluate short-term macro trends.

Each group of indicators contributes to four composite scores:

Growth: Based on changes in GDP and Retail Sales.
Inflation: Tracks CPI and Core PCE directionality.
Employment: Evaluates NFP and Unemployment Rate dynamics.
Interest Rates: Interprets movement in the Federal Funds Rate.

These metrics are converted into normalized 0–100 “condition scores,” color-coded as *Rising, Neutral,* or *Declining* for easier interpretation.
The script then summarizes the overall macro tone (growth, inflation, employment, rates) in a structured table that updates automatically.

On the market side, it uses moving average relationships (EMA crossovers on VIX, DXY, and Gold, plus SMA trend on 2-Year Treasury yields) to infer short-term momentum in risk sentiment, the dollar, and safe-haven assets. This helps traders contextualize market positioning relative to macro developments.

Core concept:
The script acts as a **real-time economic sentiment dashboard**, bridging fundamental data and technical market conditions in one view. It’s designed for traders who want to visually monitor macro shifts without leaving their charts — useful for both short-term market bias and long-term context.

How to use:

Apply the indicator to any chart or timeframe.
Use the table position and size inputs to arrange it on your layout.
Watch for consistent trends:

-Rising growth + strong employment → supportive macro tone.
-Rising inflation + hawkish rates → tightening bias.
-DXY/VIX trends can confirm or contradict the macro tone.

Note:
No future data is used. All economic series are fetched via TradingView’s `request.economic()` and market benchmarks via `request.security()` in daily resolution.
This tool is for visualization and analysis only — not a buy/sell signal generator.
