How these reports are built

Each quarter is computed from CFGI's stored daily readings of the Fear and Greed Index: the last 1d reading of every UTC day in the window, its 10 components and the stored daily VLO price. Averages are over scored trading days only. A running quarter updates with every data cycle; a closed quarter is final.

Frequently asked questions

Where do these Valero Energy quarterly reports come from?
From CFGI's own stored daily readings: the last 1d Fear and Greed reading of each UTC day, its 10 components and the stored daily VLO price. Every number is computed from those rows and nothing is written by a model. A running quarter updates daily; a closed quarter never changes.
What is the most volatile day?
For price, the day with the largest move against the previous scored day, in percent. For sentiment, the day with the largest move in index points. Both are signed, so a fall shows as a minus.
How does a quarter get a Partial record tag?
A closed quarter with fewer than half its trading days scored. The numbers are still real; they just cover less of the quarter.
Where are the monthly reports?
On the Valero Energy Monthly Sentiment Reports page, built the same way from the same readings.

CFGI is a sentiment gauge, not financial advice. It does not predict price or tell users when to trade. These reports describe what the crowd did; they are a mirror of the crowd, not a forecast.
