ETF Flow Tracker — Phase 151
ETF creation/redemption, flow data from SEC N-PORT + etfdb.com. Daily.
Tracks institutional ETF flows, creation/redemption activity, and holdings changes.
Data Sources:
- SEC EDGAR N-PORT filings (monthly holdings for all ETFs)
- Yahoo Finance (ETF prices, volume, AUM proxies)
- etfdb.com scraping (ETF flows, category data)
- FRED (aggregate ETF flow data)
Provides:
1. ETF creation/redemption flow tracking
2. Net inflows/outflows calculation
3. Holdings change analysis from N-PORT filings
4. AUM change tracking
5. Sector/category flow trends
6. Smart money ETF flow detection
7. Flow divergence vs price action
8. Basket arbitrage opportunities
9. Top ETF flow rankings
10. Flow-based momentum signals
