How do I know if the market is trending?

You can use `analyze_market_regime` to determine the state. A value below 38.2 indicates a trending regime.

What is a breakout signal?

A breakout is detected using `detect_breakout_signals` when the market transitions from a high-volatility choppy state to a lower-volatility trending state.

Can I calculate the index for a custom period?

Yes, the `calculate_chop_index` tool allows you to specify a custom lookback period.
