“Risk on” and “risk off” describe the prevailing risk sentiment of financial markets. When traders are in a “risk-on” mood, they shift capital from safe-haven assets (like gold, USD, government bonds) into riskier assets (stocks, high-yield currencies like AUD, commodities, crypto). In “risk-off” mode, the flow reverses — traders seek safety.
Our Risk-On/Risk-Off meter tracks 9 real-time indicators across forex, equities, commodities, and crypto. Each indicator is scored 0-100 based on its position within its 20-day trading range. For risk-on assets (AUD/JPY, stocks, copper, BTC), a high reading means risk appetite. For risk-off assets (gold, VIX, USD), the score is inverted — a high reading on gold means risk-off conditions, which lowers the overall score.
Gold (XAU/USD) plays a special role in risk sentiment. During risk-off periods, money flows into gold as a store of value. During risk-on periods, gold may underperform as traders prefer higher-yielding assets. Our Julia Scalper EA is designed for XAUUSD and adapts its trading behavior to changing market conditions.
It's a market sentiment tool that aggregates 9 indicators to show whether traders are in a risk-seeking (risk-on) or safety-seeking (risk-off) mood. The score ranges from 0 (extreme risk-off) to 100 (extreme risk-on).
Each indicator is scored 0-100 based on where its current price sits within its 20-day trading range. Risk-off assets (gold, VIX, USD) are inverted so that a high overall score always means risk-on. The final score is the average of all indicators.
Risk-on means traders are confident and moving capital into riskier assets like stocks, AUD, NZD, BTC, and commodities. It's typically driven by positive economic data, strong earnings, or dovish central bank policy.
Risk-off means traders are cautious and moving capital into safe havens like gold, USD, JPY, and government bonds. It's typically triggered by negative news, geopolitical tensions, or economic uncertainty.
Gold is a classic safe-haven asset. It tends to rise during risk-off periods when traders seek safety. When the meter shows risk-off, gold often strengthens. When risk-on dominates, gold may weaken or underperform.
The meter is recalculated every 6 hours using the latest daily market data from Yahoo Finance. Indicator scores are based on a rolling 20-day window.
