Ftd Detector
Detects Follow-Through Day signals using William O'Neil's methodology to confirm market bottoms after corrections. Tracks both S&P 500 and NASDAQ through a state machine that monitors corrections, rally attempts, and FTD qualification windows. Generates a 0-100 quality score with specific exposure recommendations. The dual-index approach is smart since bottoms need broad confirmation, and the post-FTD health monitoring (distribution days, power trends) adds context beyond just the initial signal. Think of this as the offensive counterpart to a market top detector. Use it when markets have corrected 3% or more and you're looking for re-entry timing rather than guessing if a bounce will stick.

FTD Detector Skill
Purpose
Detect Follow-Through Day (FTD) signals that confirm a market bottom, using William O'Neil's proven methodology. Generates a quality score (0-100) with exposure guidance for re-entering the market after corrections.
Complementary to Market Top Detector:
- Market Top Detector = defensive (detects distribution, rotation, deterioration)
- FTD Detector = offensive (detects rally attempts, bottom confirmation)
When to Use This Skill
English:
- User asks "Is the market bottoming?" or "Is it safe to buy again?"
- User observes a market correction (3%+ decline) and wants re-entry timing
- User asks about Follow-Through Days or rally attempts
- User wants to assess if a recent bounce is sustainable
- User asks about increasing equity exposure after a correction
- Market Top Detector shows elevated risk and user wants bottom signals
Japanese:
- 「底打ちした？」「買い戻して良い？」
- 調整局面（3%以上の下落）からのエントリータイミング
- フォロースルーデーやラリーアテンプトについて
- 直近の反発が持続可能か評価したい
- 調整後のエクスポージャー拡大の判断
- Market Top Detectorが高リスク表示の後の底打ちシグナル確認
