Updated Debasement Trap: Real Wealth Tracker [Binet]
Debasement Trap: Real Wealth Tracker [Binet] - Script Description
Overview
A sophisticated TradingView Pine Script indicator that measures real wealth performance by adjusting nominal asset gains for monetary debasement (M2 expansion) and inflation expectations. Unlike traditional price-based indicators, this tool calculates what your investments are actually worth after accounting for purchasing power erosion.
Key Features
Core Metrics
Real Performance - Nominal gains minus purchasing power loss
Debasement Trap Detection - Identifies when assets show positive nominal returns but negative real returns
Purchasing Power Decay - Tracks cumulative wealth erosion from money supply expansion
Real Yield Analysis - Uses FRED data for 10-year inflation expectations vs nominal rates
Monetary Regime Classification - Automatic detection of repression (negative real yields) vs tightening
Advanced Analytics
High Water Mark (HWM) - Peak real performance tracking with visual reference
Time-To-Zero (TTZ) - Days until gains are fully eroded at current debasement pace
Halflife Calculation - Years for purchasing power to decline to 50%
Benchmark Comparison - Real performance vs Gold, Bitcoin, S&P 500, or custom assets
Regime Shift Detection - Alerts when monetary policy regime changes
Trap Severity Rating - Light/Moderate/Severe classification of debasement impact
Alpha Velocity - Rate of change of real performance (momentum indicator)
Data Sources
FRED M2 Money Supply (WM2NS) with automatic year-over-year calculation
FRED 10-Year Inflation Expectations (T10YIFR)
FRED 10-Year Treasury Yield (T10YIE)
Real-time benchmark pricing
