What is a risk on/off dashboard?

A risk on/off dashboard tracks market sentiment indicators like the VIX (fear gauge), put/call ratios, and high-yield bond vs Treasury flows. It shows whether investors are embracing risk (risk on) or fleeing to safety (risk off).

How do I use the risk dashboard?

Rising VIX and widening credit spreads signal 'risk off' (time for defensive positioning). Falling VIX and rising HYG/TLT signal 'risk on' (time for growth stocks). The dashboard aggregates these signals.

Is the risk dashboard free?

Yes, DataSetIQ's risk on/off dashboard is completely free. It uses public market data and FRED indicators, updated daily.
