💡 Korea Market 101
Alongside the majors, we track the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) — the overnight driver of Korean chipmakers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. A big SOX move often sets the tone for the next KOSPI session. VIX under 20 is calm; above 30 signals fear.

💡 Korea Market 101

💡 Korea Market 101
A ranking of where money is flowing across industries. A higher score means stronger recent price action. ‘Growth’ sectors (chips, IT) lead in good times; ‘Defensive’ sectors (telecom, staples) hold up in downturns. When defensives cluster at the top, the market has turned cautious.

💡 Korea Market 101
What the index alone hides. ‘% above 200-DMA’ is the share of stocks in a long-term uptrend — below 50% means most stocks are in long-term decline even if the index isn’t. Comparing new 52-week highs vs lows reveals whether it’s truly a bull or bear tape underneath the headline number.

💡 Korea Market 101
English-language coverage of the Korean market. Two Korea-specific terms worth knowing: a ‘circuit breaker’ halts all trading when the index moves too fast, and a ‘sidecar’ briefly suspends program trading — both are exchange safety mechanisms you’ll see mentioned on volatile days.

💡 Korea Market 101
The bigger picture around equities. A rising US 10-year yield raises borrowing costs and pressures stocks. A stronger dollar (higher DXY) tends to pull foreign capital out of emerging markets like Korea. Gold is the fear gauge, oil proxies inflation, and Bitcoin reflects risk appetite.
🌡️ Regime & Risk Diagnosis
- Regime call: INFLATION — Inflationary — growth with rising price pressure
- Allocation guide: Tilt toward real assets and value
💡 Korea Market 101
Think of the ‘regime’ as market weather. RISK-OFF means investors are sheltering in cash rather than risk assets. ‘Realized volatility’ is a thermometer for how wildly prices swing — under 20 is calm, above 40 is panic territory. The ‘crash gate’ is our system’s traffic light: when the Korean market falls too fast, it turns red and the system stops buying on its own, then reopens automatically when conditions settle. (Note: the regime diagnosis text is produced in Korean by the engine.)

💡 Korea Market 101
A scanner screens hundreds of Korean and US stocks daily and scores them on technical and fundamental criteria (max 100). ‘Target’ is the expected gain if the setup works; ‘Stop’ is the pre-committed maximum loss if it doesn’t — the system always defines the exit before entering. ‘Swing’ rides multi-day trends; ‘Squeeze’ waits for dormant stocks to break out. ‘Watching’ means signal registered but not bought; ‘Held’ means the system actually owns it. ⚠️ This is an algorithm’s candidate list, not investment advice. Korean stock names are shown in Korean.

6 open positions — average unrealized P&L +2.06% (4 winning / 2 losing)
💡 Korea Market 101
‘Closed’ = sold; ‘open’ = still held. Unrealized P&L assumes selling right now — nothing is locked in until sold. ‘STOP’ means the pre-set safety line was hit and the system sold automatically; ‘ROTATION_EXIT’ means it swapped into a stronger candidate. The one rule this system lives by: cut losses early and automatically, let winners run.
