Common questions about the platform, signals, data, and methodology.
Market Pulse Intelligence is a real-time market intelligence dashboard that aggregates 100+ data points across equities, crypto, commodities, credit, macro, and geopolitics into proprietary composite signals and AI-powered summaries. It is designed for active traders, analysts, and investors who want a unified view of cross-asset conditions.
Yes. All Pulse Signals, news feeds, AI summaries, and Pulse Briefs are available at no cost. The site is supported by advertising and affiliate partnerships.
No. Market Pulse Intelligence is for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the site constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. See our Disclaimer for full details.
Live prices (equities, crypto, commodities, currencies) refresh every 10 seconds. Macro and credit data from FRED is cached server-side for 5 minutes. Crypto derivatives (OKX) refresh every 60 seconds. Prediction markets refresh every 2 minutes. News feeds poll every 10 seconds.
Pulse Signals are proprietary composite indicators that blend multiple data points into a single score. Each signal is designed to surface a specific market condition (panic, credit stress, crypto positioning, etc.) that is hard to see from any single data point.
Six: Market Pulse (ML ensemble), Credit Pulse, Crypto Pulse, Macro Pulse, Geopolitical & Volatility Pulse, and Commodity Pulse. There is also a cross-platform Prediction Market Risk signal combining Polymarket and Kalshi.
Each signal blends multiple weighted components. Our Methodology page describes the components of each signal. We do not publish the exact weightings, thresholds, or formulas, which are what make our signals proprietary.
For most composite signals, 50 is the neutral midpoint. Higher values typically indicate more stress, risk, or activity; lower values indicate calm or stability. Exceptions like the Safe Haven Flow signal can range negative to positive.
These signals are informational only. They are experimental composite indicators, may be wrong, and should not be used as the sole basis for any trading or investment decision. Always consult a qualified financial advisor.
The Market Pulse Score combines an XGBoost classifier with a momentum/mean-reversion signal into an ensemble prediction. The model uses SHAP feature selection to pick the most predictive features from a pool of 128+ candidates. It is retrained daily on rolling historical data.
Cross-validation accuracy, 60-day backtest performance, and live hit rate are displayed transparently in the dashboard. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and the model is not validated by any regulatory body.
Daily at 6:00 AM ET on weekdays (pre-market), with a post-close update at 4:30 PM ET.
We aggregate from Yahoo Finance, FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data), CoinGecko, OKX, Polymarket, Kalshi, alternative.me, DefiLlama, and various news RSS feeds. A full list is available on the Methodology page.
Crypto funding rates, open interest, long/short ratios, and taker volume come from OKX's public API. We cache this data for 60 seconds server-side to respect OKX rate limits.
FRED updates at different cadences. Daily series (spreads, rates) update by late morning ET. Weekly series (bank credit, jobless claims) update on Thursdays/Fridays. Quarterly series (delinquency rates) update months after the reference period. If you see N/A, the upstream series may not have published its latest observation yet.
Three times per day: 6:30 AM (AM Brief), 12:00 PM (Mid-Day Brief), and 5:00 PM (Evening Brief), all times Eastern. Each brief synthesizes news summaries, macro calendar events, and market signals into a single executive digest.
AI summaries and briefs are generated by Claude Haiku from Anthropic. They synthesize public news and market data into concise analysis. All AI content is labeled with "AI-ASSISTED" or "AI" badges.
Yes. Large language models can misinterpret data, hallucinate details, or miss important context. AI summaries are a synthesis aid, not a replacement for verification. See our Disclaimer for details.
Yes. Each AI summary has its own cache duration (typically 15 to 60 minutes) to minimize compute cost. The "Updated X ago" timestamp on each summary shows the freshness.
A unified view combining prediction markets from Polymarket (offshore) and Kalshi (CFTC-regulated US). We tag markets by category (geopolitical, macro, crypto, etc.) and compute a cross-platform Prediction Market Risk signal.
Our algorithm scans all tracked markets for risk-relevant themes (recession, war, default, tariff, conflict, etc.) and aggregates their implied probabilities. This surfaces what the crowd is pricing in, which often diverges from headline narratives.
Clicking on any market card opens the market directly on Polymarket or Kalshi. Market Pulse Intelligence does not process trades.
