Data
The data behind Obside
An AI copilot is only as good as the data it reads. Obside grounds every answer, alert and backtest in licensed institutional market feeds, official sources such as the Federal Reserve, the ECB and the SEC, and a news flow monitored around the clock. Here is what that covers, and why it matters.
What Obside watches for you
Company fundamentals
Financial statements, earnings and estimates, valuation and quality metrics, plus SEC EDGAR filings monitored continuously, so answers rest on reported numbers rather than headlines.
Market positioning
FINRA short interest, CFTC Commitments of Traders reports and institutional holdings show how other market participants are positioned.
Macro and central banks
Series from the Federal Reserve (FRED), the ECB, the IMF, the World Bank, the BIS and national central banks, plus the economic calendar: rate decisions, inflation prints, employment reports.
Energy and commodities
Official energy data from the EIA, together with commodity and fuel pricing, the raw inputs behind inflation and macro analysis.
Crypto-native metrics
Spot prices, DeFi activity, network fees, funding rates, open interest, options skew and fear and greed readings across crypto markets.
News, sentiment and the live web
A deduplicated financial news flow, social sentiment, prediction-market signals and live web search when a question needs something fresher than any database.
World events
Structured monitoring of geopolitical developments, sanctions, natural disasters, cyber incidents and public-health events that can move markets.
Composite signals
Proprietary 0 to 100 scores such as market stress, volatility regime and fear and greed condense dozens of raw series into readings your agents can act on.
Built to be trusted
Multiple providers, one answer
Key data categories come from more than one source with priority routing, so one provider having a bad day does not become your problem.
Freshness checks
Every series carries its timestamp, and stale data is detected instead of being silently served.
No lookahead in backtests
Historical data is stored point-in-time: a backtest only ever sees what was actually knowable on each simulated date.
Deduplicated news
The same story reported ten times counts once, so alerts trigger on new information rather than echoes.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Obside's market data come from?
Prices come from licensed institutional providers and major crypto exchange feeds. Fundamentals come from reported financials and SEC EDGAR filings. Macro series come from official sources such as the Federal Reserve, the ECB, the IMF, the World Bank and the BIS.
Is the data real-time?
Obside works with real-time and historical prices depending on the asset class and venue. Filings and news are monitored continuously, and every series carries a timestamp with staleness detection so outdated data is flagged instead of silently used.
Can Obside search the web?
Yes. When a question needs fresher context than the structured feeds provide, Obside can run a live web search on top of its market, macro and news data.
Do backtests use information that was not available at the time?
No. Historical data is stored point-in-time, so a backtest only sees the information that existed on each simulated date. This avoids lookahead bias, one of the most common ways backtests flatter a strategy.
Does Obside depend on a single data provider?
No. Key categories are covered by more than one licensed provider with priority routing, alongside public institutional sources such as the Federal Reserve, the ECB, the SEC, the IMF and the EIA.
