Transparency is important to us. If you're making investment decisions based on our analysis, you deserve to know exactly what data we're using. Here's the complete list.
Price Data (Live / Near-Live) - Finnhub: Primary live stock quote and market-data feed for supported equities. - Massive API: Cross-check source for real-time and near-real-time market data, including candles where available. - No Yahoo, IG or Twelve Data feed is used for live forecast decisions.

Technical Indicators (Calculated) We compute 13 indicators from the raw candle data: ADX (trend strength), ATR (volatility), RSI (momentum), MACD (trend + momentum crossovers), Bollinger Bands (volatility + mean reversion), Stochastic Oscillator (overbought/oversold), SMA 20/50 (simple moving averages), EMA 9/21 (exponential moving averages), Volume Percentile (vs 20-day average).
What we DON'T have: - Real-time order flow / Level 2 data - Proprietary trading desk flows - Management call transcripts (we use the financial data from filings, not the qualitative commentary) - Options market data (put/call ratios, implied volatility surface)
Data freshness: - Day-trading opportunities: Live or near-live quote stack; no Yahoo, IG, or Twelve Data decision feed. - Research: Generated on scheduled and on-demand cycles, then filtered by quality gate before customer visibility. - Archive/proof: Evaluated only when the forecast has matured and enough snapshot coverage exists.
Every data point is fetched, normalized, and fed into the relevant engine automatically. The system is designed to scale across more assets and more news without turning every relationship check into an expensive LLM call.
