FiscalAlpha monitors stress breadth across 8 independent domains of the financial system. One number tells you whether the conditions that precede crises are present right now — with full source transparency on all 70+ indicators.
One click, no account — your first alert lands in your inbox.
One product, every skill level
The same interface meets a curious novice and a seasoned strategist where they are — no dumbing down, no overwhelming.
Search in plain English. Every indicator opens with a one-sentence explainer, then five progressive levels that take you from “what is this?” to the methodology under the hood — at your own pace.
Skip the explainers. Jump straight to z-scores, percentile rankings, auction tails, and the contagion model. Drill from the headline SDI to any of 70+ individual series in two clicks.
What makes this different
Every data point comes from official sources — FRED, TreasuryDirect, the Fed, OFR, CFTC, CBO. See the source, last observation date, and normalization method for every indicator. Nothing behind proprietary magic.
The Library doesn’t just show numbers — it teaches the financial system. Learn what SOFR is, why it matters, what happened during Lehman, and how it connects to mortgage rates through the contagion network.
The SDI is a coincident indicator, not a crystal ball. We don’t claim to predict the next crisis — we show you, clearly and daily, whether the conditions that precede crises are present right now.
No account needed to see the SDI, explore all 70+ indicators, run crisis comparisons, or use the contagion network. Give an email only when you want alerts — and get real value for free.
The proof
The Stress Diffusion Index doesn't call the exact top — it starts flashing as stress builds, on average weeks before the market peaks. See it replay across 7 real crises.
