FAQPage Schema
How do I aggregate multi-source news and technical indicators for market research briefs?

Market research briefs are generated by aggregating multi-source news from Alpaca News REST and RSS feeds alongside technical indicators. This process produces edge-aware briefs that surface actionable market insights for symbol-level signals, reducing manual synthesis time.

How does Gemini compute per-symbol edge for sentiment and catalysts?

Gemini computes per-symbol edge by analyzing aggregated news data to identify sentiment and catalysts. It applies its analysis capabilities to generate a structured ResearchBrief schema that includes macro themes, risks, and recommended focus areas for equities and crypto.

Can I use this research approach for both equities and crypto portfolio research?

Yes, this research approach applies to both equities and crypto portfolio research. It supports macro theme discovery and alerting for catalysts, risks, and focus shifts across your current universe of symbols using the structured ResearchBrief output.

What is a structured ResearchBrief and what data does it include?

A structured ResearchBrief is a schema-based output that includes macro themes, catalysts, risks, and recommended focus. It synthesizes multi-source news and technical indicators to provide edge-aware, actionable market insights for your specific symbol universe.

Do I need Alpaca News REST and RSS feeds to generate edge-aware market insights?

Yes, Alpaca News REST and RSS feeds are the required data sources for aggregation. These feeds provide the raw news data that Gemini analyzes to compute per-symbol edge, detect sentiment, and produce the final structured research briefs.

What are the limitations of using news aggregation for technical indicator analysis?

News aggregation for technical indicator analysis relies on the availability and quality of Alpaca News REST and RSS feeds. While it surfaces catalysts and sentiment, it should be used as a research brief to reduce manual synthesis time rather than a standalone automated trading signal.
