Closed-loop financial intelligence

Financial intelligence that has to face the outcome.

An always-on research and decision system for the portfolio you actually hold. Alpha connects research, decisions and market outcomes, so the evidence can inform future decisions. It proposes actions; you approve every order.

  1. Research

    Keep the thesis and evidence together.

  2. Decision

    Review the proposed action.

  3. Outcome

    Compare expectations with what happened.

Evidence informs the next decision.

  • Local-first
  • Portfolio-aware
  • You approve every order

Your portfolio. A moving world.

You don’t have hours in a day to watch everything.
Alpha does.

Earnings arrive. Rates move. News changes the thesis. Alpha brings ongoing research around your positions, connecting new evidence to recommendations you can review.

Research / Thesis health

Keep the thesis connected
to the evidence.

See the thesis, supporting and opposing evidence, conviction and upcoming catalysts together. Identify what needs another look as conditions change.

Theses, evidence, freshness and catalysts in one research view.

Screenshots use illustrative demo data. Balances, returns and charts are not evidence of investment performance.

How the record carries forward.

The record becomes input to the next cycle.

Research around the portfolio
you actually own.

Positions, portfolio exposure and linked theses, with context for the selected holding.

From research to an order

From a researched idea
to a decision you control.

Review the proposed action alongside its evidence, position context and risk. You decide whether to approve, reject or revise it.

Accountability by design

Every recommendation
leaves a record.

Keep the original thesis, conviction, proposed action and declared horizon alongside your decision. Where execution or sufficient market data is available, evaluate the outcome without rewriting the recommendation.

Your decisionWhat Alpha evaluates

Approved & executed

The actual result

Connect the recommendation and execution to the observed outcome.

Rejected or expired

The road not taken

Keep the recommendation and estimate its hypothetical outcome at the declared horizon where pricing data is available, even when no trade was made.

Overridden

Two decisions, kept distinct

Preserve Alpha’s original recommendation alongside your decision and the subsequent outcome.

The record feeds the next decision.Hypothetical outcomes are estimates, not executed returns. They do not recreate a fill, guarantee liquidity or demonstrate investment performance.

Local-first, by architecture

Your portfolio shouldn’t become someone else’s dataset.

Alpha runs on your machine. Your broker connection runs through your own IB Gateway. Credentials and the portfolio record are stored locally, under your control.

Supported research tasks can use local model workers. If you configure an external model or data provider, requests sent to that provider are subject to its data-handling terms.
