Vates

Market Intelligence That Turns Raw Market Data Into Decisions

Vates unifies price, flow, fundamental, and alternative data across global markets and the systems you already run, so your desk can see risk building earlier, size with more conviction, and act before the move is priced in.

  • See what moved, what is moving, and what is most likely to move next
  • Catch regime shifts and correlation breaks before they reach the book
  • Keep the signal, the thesis, and the position tied to the same evidence
The gap

Go from “What happened?” to “What happens next?”

If your process still runs across terminals, spreadsheets, and chat threads, you are reading the market after it has already moved. The data arrives fast; the understanding arrives late.

Conventional market data

  • Reports the price, not the pressure behind it
  • Reports the print, not the positioning underneath it
  • Reports the headline, not the second-order effect
  • Reports the move, not the regime it belongs to
  • Reports the correlation, not the moment it breaks

Markets read by Vates

  • One view across price, flow, filings, and narrative
  • Regime shifts and correlation breaks flagged as they form
  • Crowding and positioning risk visible before the unwind
  • Thesis-level alerts instead of ticker-level noise
  • Every signal traceable to the data that produced it

Earlier signal. Better decisions.

Because Vates reads the whole surface of a market rather than one slice of it, the things that usually surprise a desk show up as patterns first.

  • 01

    Price & flow

    Ticks, volume, order-book pressure, and derivatives positioning across global venues.

  • 02

    Fundamentals

    Filings, earnings, revisions, and disclosures parsed the moment they land.

  • 03

    Narrative

    News, transcripts, and public discussion read for tone, novelty, and shift.

  • 04

    Alternative data

    Non-traditional sources mapped onto the instruments they actually move.

Market Intelligence

Vates's AI turns market data into market intelligence

How the platform keeps a desk ahead of the move instead of reacting to it.

Find the move before it becomes consensus

Vates watches every instrument on your list continuously, learns what normal looks like for each one, and tells you the moment behaviour departs from it.

  • Surface unusual volume, volatility, and flow against each instrument's own baseline
  • Detect regime shifts as they form rather than after they are obvious in hindsight
  • Rank what changed by how much it should matter to your book, not by how loud it is

Fewer missed setups, earlier entries, and a shortlist you can actually work through.

Platform

Platform overview

Built for desks that have to act on what they find. Vates connects data, signals, research, and risk in one workspace, with the model layer running underneath all of it.

  • Market data

    Equities, FX, rates, commodities, and digital assets in one normalized, queryable feed.

  • Signals & alerts

    Thesis-level alerts, watchlists, custom triggers, and scheduled digests that respect your hours.

  • Research workspace

    Notes, theses, and supporting evidence attached to the instruments they concern.

  • Backtesting

    Test an idea against history — including the periods that would have hurt — before committing capital.

  • Portfolio & risk

    Exposure, correlation, crowding, drawdown, and scenario analysis on live positions.

  • APIs & exports

    Clean, normalized data over REST and WebSocket, plus first-class Python access.

Integrations

Vates works with the systems your desk already runs

Intelligence is only useful where the work happens. Vates pushes into the tools your team already has open, so signals land in the workflow rather than in another tab.

Meet VAI

Hi, I’m VAI — Vates Artificial Intelligence. I’m the intelligence inside the platform.

My job is to take your desk from market data to market intelligence. I read price, flow, filings, and language at a scale a team can’t, and I tell you what changed and why it matters.

I help your team by

  • Watching every instrument on your list continuously, not just the ones in the news
  • Reading filings, transcripts, and coverage the moment they publish
  • Flagging when a correlation you depend on starts to break down
  • Ranking what changed by how much it should matter to your positions
  • Explaining every signal in terms of the data that produced it

You stay in control. I surface what changed and why — the position, the sizing, and the call are yours.

Security

Built for data you cannot afford to leak

Market positions and research are among the most sensitive data a firm holds. Vates is built so that access is explicit, activity is reviewable, and your research never becomes someone else's training data.

  • Role-based access control, with an audit-friendly history across data, research, and alerts
  • Encryption in transit and at rest, and isolation between tenants
  • Your proprietary research and positions are never used to train shared models
  • Ongoing monitoring and a formal risk management process
One platform. The whole surface.

See Market Intelligence in action

In a demo we will show how Vates ties price, flow, filings, and narrative to the positions you actually hold — and how desks use that to spot regime shifts, crowding, and correlation breaks earlier.
