Major Assets FAQs

Why does US M2 look “steppy” on intraday charts?

M2 is a monthly macro series. On lower timeframes you’ll see discrete steps; use it for context, not timing.

Can I use spot crypto instead of futures?

Yes—change the symbols (e.g., BTCUSD/ETHUSD from your preferred exchange). Futures are provided by default for broader availability.

Do I need volume for this to work?

No—this indicator uses price only. It handles symbols with sparse data more gracefully than volume-based tools.

Why don’t all series start exactly on my chosen date?

If a symbol lacks data on that exact bar, the indicator uses the first available bar after the date. That ensures consistent, non-na indexing.

Does this indexing include dividends, distributions, or futures roll effects?

No—index levels are based on the instrument’s price close only. Dividends and distributions aren’t added back, and futures may reflect roll/contract construction artifacts. If you need total-return style comparisons, use total-return tickers/indices (when available) or dividend-adjusted series; for futures, prefer spot or a back-adjusted continuous contract that matches your methodology.
