Fed Funds Rate Indicator

28 Mar 2022

With the current level of inflation and the Fed outlook on interest rates, it inspired some studying on the relationship between Fed rate increases and stock market performance over periods of inflation. Today I am releasing to the community an indicator that will show you the Fed Funds Rate historically. You can add it to any chart or index to study the impact of Fed Funds Rate changes.

There are 2 options for the indicator data source you can select in the indicator settings. FRED:EFFR data updates daily but only goes back ~20 years. FRED:FEDFUNDS data only updates monthly but goes back to 1947.


Disclaimer: Open-source scripts I publish in the community are largely meant to spark ideas that can be used as building blocks for part of a more robust trade management strategy. If you would like to implement a version of any script, I would recommend making significant additions/modifications to the strategy & risk management functions. If you don’t know how to program in Pine, then hire a Pine-coder. We can help!
