7H MLC Index

The 7H MLC Index is a daily 0–10 read of where the US stock market is leaning, built from 7 Horns AI

Date: 2026-10-06 Purpose, access and entry The 7H MLC Index is a daily 0–10 read of where the US stock market is leaning, built from 7 Horns AI's machine-learning clustering studies. It turns what the pattern studies found for the day into one number, a tier label (Strong Up, Bullish, Positive, Neutral or Negative) and a plain-English meaning, together with the reasons behind the read and a historical reference for the same combination of signals. The index is pure pattern math: no language model and no human opinion decide the number. Public: the home page shows a short teaser confirming that a new daily read is available, with a “How the index works” guide. The teaser never shows the day's tier or score. Signed-in users: today's read, the reason chips, the historical reference and the score history appear on the Dashboard overview (compact card) and in the Daily Summary tab at /dashboard?tab=daily-summary. A free account is enough to see it; no paid tier is required. Admins: a Signal Tracker section with per-tier statistics is admin-only and not part of this page. Inputs and workflow The index is derived automatically from the platform's daily pattern studies. Users do not configure or trigger it. Sign in and open the Dashboard. The compact card shows today's score and tier; open the Daily Summary tab for the full card. Read the dial first: 5 is the midpoint (no clear direction). Above 5 the market leans up, below 5 it leans down. Expand Know the reasons to see the ingredients: how strong the core study's cluster was (1, 2 or 3 standard deviations), whether the confirmation study agreed, and what the S&P 500 model called with its confidence. Check the historical reference for today's combination of signals before interpreting the read. Use the 30 / 60 / 120 range toggle on the score history chart to see past reads against the S&P 500. Outputs and limits Score and tier. The core study sets the tier: a 1-standard-deviation up read is Positive (6), 2 SD is Bullish (7), 3 SD is Strong Up (8), no clear signal is Neutral (5), and any down read is Negative (3, or 2 when the confirmation study is also down). On up tiers the confirmation study can add +1 when it agrees, and the S&P 500 model can add +2 when it strongly agrees (58% confidence or higher). The score is capped at 10. Reason chips. Each ingredient's verdict for the day. Chips that helped the score are highlighted; chips that did not are shown muted. Historical reference. For the day's combination of signals: the average S&P 500 move over the following 5 trading days in past cases, how often it was up, and the number of past days it is based on. 3 SD reads are rare and are flagged small sample; treat them as directional only. Score history. A line of past daily reads with tier-coloured points, the S&P 500 indexed to 100 on a secondary axis, and a result strip showing whether the S&P 500 was up or down over the 5 trading days after each read. Only up reads are scored as a win or loss; Neutral and Negative days stay unscored. A move against an up read smaller than 0.2% is treated as noise rather than a loss. Timing. One read per trading day, published once the day's core study has completed. No new read is produced on days the market is closed. The index is a research signal built from historical patterns. Past averages are not forecasts, and the index does not consider your situation. It is not investment advice. Loading, errors and empty states Index unavailable. Shown when the core study did not record a clean read for the date. The platform never substitutes a Neutral 5 in that case, and the home-page teaser hides itself. Missing confirmation study. If only the confirmation study is missing, today's read still appears without the +1 bonus and the chip is shown as unavailable. History is still building. The score history chart appears once at least 5 daily reads exist. Load error. If the card cannot load, a retry message is shown; it is not an empty result. Tips & limitations The index covers the US market as a whole, not individual stocks. For a stock-level view, use Pattern Analysis through Oscar or the stock report pages. Combine the read with the Daily Summary market context rather than treating it as a trade instruction. Availability of the daily read depends on the platform's pattern studies completing for the date; production refresh health was not verified by this documentation audit.
