Days since 1990 when the 14 sensors of the crisis meter, market-top risk and recession risk stood closest to a given day (default: today), at least half a year apart and at least a year before the given day, and what followed within 12 months: the crisis meter peak, a US recession (NBER), an S&P 500 bear market, the dollar index. History, not a forecast — always show the spread of outcomes.

}What moved between two dates and why: each instrument (from → to, zone change), the sensors that moved most and any that switched on or off, and the filters. Use when the user asked before ("since last week / since I last checked") or asks why a reading changed.

}Today's readings with the data date: Dollar System Index (where the dollar system stands and what it is made of), Crisis meter (stress already present in credit and funding, four sensors with week-ago and month-ago values), market-top risk and US recession risk (how often an S&P 500 bear market or a US recession followed the same zone since 1990, with the number of independent episodes behind each number), what changed this week, and a link to the public daily record. Say the data date and credit "Isoba (LOKIO)". Describe readings as where things stand now and as history ("in similar periods since 1990, X happened in N of M cases"), never as a forecast, a signal, or advice to buy or sell. If someone asks what to do with their own money, give the readings and say that this is not investment advice.

}What markets price now (Fed rate path from the 2-year Treasury yield, 5-year breakeven inflation, yields) and what happened over the next 12 months after the 10 days since 1990 most similar to today (same 14 sensors as find_similar_days, at least half a year apart), with the number of distinct cycles behind them: US dollar, US stocks (market value of companies, Fed Z.1), 10-year Treasury return, Fed rate, core inflation, unemployment, WTI oil, yield curve, corporate bond spread, cash vs inflation, M2 money growth, and the crypto backdrop (dollar and M2 — there is no open crypto price history since 1990). Report counts ("rose in 9 of 10"), the median and the range, and how many cycles stand behind them. History and market prices, not a forecast. Say the data date and credit "Isoba (LOKIO)".

}What Isoba showed on any working day since 1990-01-01: the four instruments with zones, every sensor, the eight filters (since 2006), the yield curve and the four credit inputs — computed point-in-time from data published by that day. Use for "what did it show before 2008 / on the day of COVID?".

}How Isoba behaved when run point-in-time over every working day since 1990 (only data published by each day, checked for look-ahead). Default section "summary" is short; ask for a section (crisis_events, recessions, market_tops, false_alarms, by_year, methods, all) or one event (gulf, ltcm, dotcom, sept11, worldcom, bnp, lehman, euro, downgrade, china, oil2016, q4_2018, covid, bear2022, svb, tariffs — or its year). Call it before claiming reliability.
| Argument | Type | Description |
