# High-Low Index Calculator MCP for AI Agents MCP > High-Low Index Calculator MCP for analyzing market breadth and momentum. It gives your AI agent the ability to calculate sentiment, track cumulative trends, smooth out noisy data with moving averages, and spot potential trend reversals through divergence detection. ## Overview - **Category:** finance - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_AeOgdzIkUd0k8NoJOF12UbH0oNV1cFVpuoNI8dQW/mcp - **Tags:** market-breadth, technical-analysis, momentum, trading, finance-tools ## Description Analyzing market breadth usually means staring at spreadsheets and manually calculating the difference between advancing and declining stocks. This MCP changes that by giving your AI client the math it needs to interpret market sentiment instantly. Instead of you doing the heavy lifting, your agent can look at new highs and lows to determine if a trend is actually healthy or just a fluke. You can track long-term momentum by looking at cumulative totals or smooth out the jagged lines of daily data to see the bigger picture. It's especially useful for spotting when price action and market breadth start moving in opposite directions, which is often a warning sign that a trend is exhausted. By connecting this to your workflow through the Vinkius catalog, you turn a standard chat interface into a technical analysis workstation that understands the underlying health of the market. ## Tools ### analyze_moving_average Smooths out market data to reveal clearer trends. It helps filter out the daily noise in breadth readings. ### calculate_breadth_metrics Calculates the core High-Low Index. This tells you if the market sentiment is bullish or bearish. ### calculate_cumulative_summation Tracks the running total of the index over time. It's used to see the long-term direction of market breadth. ### detect_divergence Compares price action against index movement. It finds when price and breadth are no longer in sync. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` The market had 75 new highs and 25 new lows today. What's the sentiment? ``` **Response:** ``` The High-Low Index is **75.0**, which indicates strong **bullish breadth**. The market is showing significant upward participation. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Check if there is any divergence between these price highs [100, 105, 110] and these index highs [40, 42, 41]. ``` **Response:** ``` Yes, a **bearish divergence** was detected. While the price reached a new high of 110, the index failed to follow, peaking at 42. This suggests the upward move lacks broad market support. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I have a cumulative sum of 120 from yesterday. If today's index is 30, what is the new total? ``` **Response:** ``` The updated cumulative summation is **150.0**. ``` ## Capabilities ### Measure market sentiment Determine if the market is leaning bullish or bearish based on new highs and lows. ### Track long-term trends Follow the momentum of market breadth over time using cumulative totals. ### Smooth out market noise Use moving averages to filter out daily volatility and see clear directional trends. ### Spot trend reversals Identify when price and breadth are diverging to catch potential market turns. ## Use Cases ### Confirming a breakout A trader sees a price breakout and asks their agent to check if the High-Low Index supports the move with strong breadth. ### Spotting a fake rally An analyst notices prices hitting new highs but uses detect_divergence to see if the index is actually falling. ### Smoothing volatile data A researcher uses analyze_moving_average to turn erratic daily breadth numbers into a readable trend line. ### Tracking trend cycles A long-term investor uses calculate_cumulative_summation to see if the broad market is in a sustained uptrend. ## Benefits - Get instant sentiment readings by using calculate_breadth_metrics instead of manual counting. - Identify exhausted trends early when detect_divergence flags a mismatch between price and breadth. - See through market volatility by applying analyze_moving_average to noisy data sets. - Monitor long-term market health through calculate_cumulative_summation for better trend context. - Automate technical analysis workflows by letting your agent handle the math directly. ## How It Works The bottom line is you stop doing manual math and start asking your agent for actionable market breadth insights. 1.
