# FAQs

Macro Liquidity Gap FAQs

<details>

<summary><strong>Why is the indicator not loading on intraday charts?</strong></summary>

The Macro Liquidity Gap requires a Daily (1D) or higher timeframe. Central bank money supply data is only updated weekly or monthly, making intraday calculations impossible.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How does the Fed Net Liquidity blend work?</strong></summary>

The indicator allows you to blend standard US M2 with the more precise Fed Net Liquidity formula (Balance Sheet - TGA - Reverse Repo). You can use the slider in the settings to adjust the weighting based on your preference.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Why is China's M2 weight discounted?</strong></summary>

China operates with strict capital controls, meaning a significant portion of its printed money cannot easily flow into global asset markets like the S\&P 500. We discount it by 50% to provide a more realistic picture of "exportable" liquidity.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I change the asset the liquidity is compared against?</strong></summary>

Yes, by default it compares against the S\&P 500 (SP:SPX), but you can change the target index or asset in the indicator settings to analyze how liquidity affects Bitcoin, Gold, or other indices.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Does it repaint?</strong></summary>

No, the indicator calculates based on closed data. However, be aware that central bank M2 data is sometimes subject to slight historical revisions by the issuing banks themselves.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/investing/macro-and-liquidity/macro-liquidity-gap/faqs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
