Futures Market Context

Computes market metrics for futures from market_history output. Metrics include session VWAP, POC/VAH/VAL (value area), bar-level delta, cumulative delta, order-flow imbalance, ATR(N), realized volatility, and cross-symbol relative strength. It produces narrative summaries of market structure and the volatility regime. Use when the user asks about VWAP, POC, market profile, or value area. Also use for ATR, realized volatility, delta, cumulative delta, or order-flow imbalance. Also use for the volatility regime, or for intra-day relative strength between related symbols (e.g., ES vs NQ vs RTY). position-watchdog, pretrade-risk, scale-manager, chart-render, trade-replay, and trade-debrief consume this skill's output as input. Trading analysis or dry-run only; live data and broker access require separately available host tools.
