   Vega — your AI research analyst

   Vega is a chat analyst that does the work, not just the talking. It queries the data lake, searches the web for context, drafts a strategy, and runs a preview backtest — showing each step live with the SQL and sources cited.

   • Author charts and tables on the fly from a plain-English request
   • Citation cards: every answer pairs a source, a chart, and the query behind it
   • Proposes the big actions (full validation, paper deployment); you confirm — it never auto-executes
   • @-mention any stock or dataset to pull it into the conversation; a built-in cost meter keeps spend visible

   Portfolio & holdings analytics vs the S&P 500

   Backtest reports now chart the equity curve against an S&P 500 benchmark and break performance down by holdings, so you can see where return and risk actually came from relative to the market.

   • Benchmark overlay on the equity curve with alpha, beta, R², tracking error and information ratio
   • Up/down capture and a full Fama-French 5-factor + Momentum decomposition
3. June 2026Data

   Live news feed + latest headlines

   A live news feed with per-ticker sentiment now runs across the terminal. Ask the data for the latest headlines on a name and get a current article stream alongside the numbers.

   • Per-ticker sentiment with an AI-scored overlay
   • Inline on asset pages and queryable in plain English
4. June 2026Workflow

   Conditional alerts + an Updates inbox

   Set conditional alerts on the data you care about and receive them in an in-app Updates inbox — so a watched condition or a strategy event reaches you without babysitting a screen.

   Honest, survivorship-aware backtests

   Our backtest engine reconstructs the investable universe as of each past date — including names that later delisted — and models realistic trading costs. We would rather show a lower, truthful number than a flattering one. Backtested results are hypothetical and not indicative of future results.

   • Survivorship-free universe option on the full tier (delisted names included)
   • Next-bar-open fills, gap-aware stops, bid/ask spread, square-root market impact and short-borrow costs
   • Walk-forward, out-of-sample validation — not a single in-sample curve fit
6. June 2026Data

   Index & sector screens

   Screen by index membership (S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Dow) and by sector with curated, point-in-time data — no live web round-trip needed for the common universes.

   • Real index levels and ~3 years of price history across 11 indices
   • Sector heatmap, breadth and most-active names on the live markets dashboard

   Institutional tearsheet & on-demand analytics

   Every backtest produces a professional report, and you can run the same metric suite on any ticker, basket, or benchmark on demand — no backtest required.

   • Performance: total return, CAGR, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, monthly-returns heatmap
   • Risk: volatility, max drawdown + longest underwater stretch, Ulcer index, VaR & CVaR (95%/99%)
   • Overfitting credibility layer: Probabilistic & Deflated Sharpe, Minimum Track Record Length, Probability of Backtest Overfitting

   Deep Research mode for Ask the Data

   For questions that name a universe we can't list directly ("the Fortune 500 by net margin"), Vega does a live web search to resolve membership only, then pulls the actual figures from licensed data — so the answer is vendor-grade, not scraped guesswork.
