## Description

Calculating market breadth shouldn't feel like a math homework assignment. Instead of manually pulling advancing and declining stock counts and volume data to run formulas, you can let your AI agent handle the heavy lifting. This MCP turns your agent into a technical analyst that can instantly gauge market sentiment. You can check if the current market movement is a genuine trend or just a statistical outlier. By connecting this to your workflow through the Vinkius catalog, you move away from staring at raw ticker data and toward making decisions based on momentum and breadth. Your agent can now spot when fear is reaching an extreme or when bullish pressure is building, giving you a clear view of the market's internal health without the manual spreadsheet grind.

## Tools

### calculate_daily_trin
Computes the single-day TRIN value using current market breadth and volume. It gives you a direct reading of daily sentiment.

### get_trin_moving_average
Calculates the trend of TRIN values over a chosen period. This helps you see if sentiment is shifting or staying steady.

### get_trin_statistics
Compares current TRIN against historical data using Z-scores. It identifies if the current market state is a statistical outlier.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the current market sentiment if the TRIN is 2.5?
```

**Response:** 
```
A TRIN of **2.5** generally indicates **bearish sentiment**. 

In market breadth terms, this suggests that declining stocks are seeing significantly more volume than advancing stocks, signaling selling pressure. You should look for signs of increasing fear in the broader market.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is the current market breadth an outlier?
```

**Response:** 
```
To determine if the current sentiment is an outlier, I've analyzed the recent data:

| Metric | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Current TRIN** | 3.10 |
| **Z-Score** | +2.45 |
| **Percentile Rank** | 96th |

**Conclusion:** Yes, the current market breadth is a **statistical outlier**. The high Z-score and 96th percentile rank suggest extreme bearish pressure.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How has the market sentiment trended over the last week?
```

**Response:** 
```
The TRIN moving average shows a clear shift in momentum:

* **Trend:** Bearish widening
* **Direction:** The moving average has climbed from 0.8 to 1.9 over the last 5 sessions.
* **Interpretation:** Market breadth is weakening as declining volume begins to outpace advancing volume.
```

## Capabilities

### Measure daily market sentiment
Get an immediate TRIN value based on current advancing and declining stock counts and volumes.

### Track momentum trends
Analyze how TRIN values are shifting over time using moving averages.

### Identify statistical extremes
Compare current market breadth against historical data using Z-scores and percentiles.

### Detect market fear or greed
Determine if current market breadth indicates extreme bearish or bullish pressure.

## Use Cases

### Spotting market bottoms
An analyst asks their agent to check if current TRIN levels are statistical outliers, identifying extreme fear during a sell-off.

### Confirming bullish trends
A trader uses moving averages to ensure that rising prices are backed by strong advancing volume and breadth.

### Filtering noise
A quant uses Z-scores to ignore minor sentiment shifts and only act when TRIN reaches significant historical levels.

### Daily sentiment briefings
A portfolio manager has their agent summarize the day's market breadth to see if the trend is widening or narrowing.

## Benefits

- Stop manual math by using calculate_daily_trin to get instant sentiment readings.
- Spot trend reversals faster by using get_trin_moving_average to track momentum.
- Avoid false signals by using get_trin_statistics to find true market extremes.
- Identify extreme fear or greed using Z-score and percentile rank outputs.
- Automate technical analysis by letting your agent interpret breadth data directly.

**What makes the Arms Index (TRIN) Calculator MCP different from standard indicators?**
It focuses specifically on market breadth and volume relationship. It provides deterministic statistical outputs like Z-scores rather than just a single price-based number.

**How do I get statistical outliers using the Arms Index (TRIN) Calculator MCP?**
You can ask your agent to compare current market data against historical trends to generate Z-scores and percentile ranks, which highlight extreme market conditions.
