# Features

Composite Risk Index Features

The Composite Risk Index is an institutional-grade macro compass that synthesizes three distinct pillars of market data into one clear, unified Risk Score.

* **Tri-Factor Analysis:** Seamlessly evaluates Volatility, Trend, and Momentum simultaneously. You no longer need to clutter your chart with multiple oscillators to understand the macro environment.
* **Dynamic Regime Compass:** Categorizes the market into four states using a sleek dashboard: Risk-On (Teal), Neutral (Gray), Risk-Off (Orange), and Crisis (Red).
* **External Volatility Integration:** Automatically queries CBOE:VIX for equities and DERIBIT:DVOL for crypto to integrate implied volatility data directly into the index.
* **Buy Zone Highlighting:** Automatically flags your chart's background when the index reaches a deep negative score (the Crisis zone), indicating high-probability accumulation zones.
* **Customizable Alerts:** Features dynamic alert functions that notify you the exact moment the overall market regime shifts, ensuring you never miss a structural change.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/investing/risk-and-portfolio-management/composite-risk-index/features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
