Data Sources
Alphio aggregates market, on-chain, news, fundamentals, and filings data from multiple providers, and feeds it to both the product pages and Alphio AI.
Named providers integrated today include LSEG (Refinitiv), Polygon.io, Yahoo Finance, Hyperliquid, Binance, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko Onchain / GeckoTerminal, DefiLlama, Coinglass, DEX Screener, AllTick, Alchemy, and Polymarket.
1. Price & market data
Real-time and historical quotes feed everything from charts to Alphio AI reasoning.
| Category | Coverage |
|---|---|
| US equities | Real-time quotes during the session, including pre-market and after-hours; LSEG (Refinitiv) with Polygon.io as a backup source |
| HK equities | Licensed Hong Kong market data, delayed at least 15 minutes |
| Crypto spot | Exchange market data from Hyperliquid, Binance, OKX, Kraken, and KuCoin, plus CoinMarketCap |
| Crypto perps | Hyperliquid (native); funding and open-interest context from exchanges and Coinglass |
| On-chain tokens (meme) | CoinMarketCap DEX data and on-chain trade flow; DEX Screener for the Boosted list (paid promotions, not Alphio recommendations) |
| Forex & metals | AllTick quote feed — major currency pairs and nine metals |
| Prediction markets | Polymarket |
| Market sentiment | The Fear & Greed reading uses Coinglass, with CoinMarketCap as a fallback |
2. On-chain data
On-chain data powers token research, meme-token pages, and wallet-related features.
- DEX flows — swap-level trades for tracked tokens and pools.
- Token metadata and risk — supply, holder distribution, developer and sniper holdings, and safety indicators.
- DeFi context — protocol and pool data from DefiLlama and GeckoTerminal, available to Alphio AI in chat.
- Wallet activity — transfers and balance changes for wallets connected to Alphio features (for example deposits), via Alchemy.
Whales Auto Tracker does not use on-chain wallet data — it is built from institutional and congressional filings (see section 4).
3. News & social
News and social context shape Market Brief content and research answers.
- Financial news — articles and press releases collected from financial news publishers and newswires, tagged by ticker.
- Social posts — Alphio AI can search recent posts on X for a ticker or theme, and meme-token narrative scores draw on them. Alphio does not publish a per-ticker social sentiment score.
4. Fundamentals & filings
For equities research and earnings workflows.
| Source | What it powers |
|---|---|
| Company financials | Key financial metrics and statement data |
| Earnings transcripts | AI Earnings Calendar summaries and post-earnings recaps |
| Analyst estimates | Consensus EPS, revenue estimates, and price targets |
| Institutional holdings (13F) | Whales Auto Tracker institution views |
| Insider transactions (Form 4) | Insider buying / selling context in research answers |
| Congressional disclosures | Whales Auto Tracker congress views |
Filings-derived data (13F, Form 4, congressional disclosures) is served from Alphio's own curated datasets rather than a direct live EDGAR feed.
5. Calendars & events
- Earnings calendar — upcoming and reported earnings, shown on the AI Earnings Calendar page.
- IPO calendar — upcoming listings with price and pricing date, in the IPO Center.
- Economic calendar — CPI, NFP, FOMC, central-bank decisions, and similar releases, available to Alphio AI in chat (there is no separate economic-calendar page).
6. AI / ML inputs
Alphio AI is itself a consumer of data. Beyond raw feeds, the orchestration layer routes to:
- Proprietary quant / machine-learning models — Alphio's finance-specific modeling layer behind products such as SwingMax and AI Stock Picker (see AI Stack).
- LLMs — general-purpose language models used for natural-language interaction, answer composition, and broader reasoning tasks.
- Web search — for context not covered by the feeds above, such as markets outside Alphio's coverage.
These models receive structured context assembled from the sources above; they do not have direct provider feeds.
7. Data freshness
Freshness varies by source category:
| Category | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Crypto spot / perps | Streaming exchange data on detail pages |
| US equities | Real-time during market hours, including extended hours |
| HK equities | Delayed at least 15 minutes |
| Forex & metals | Price loaded when you open the page — refresh for the latest |
| Meme token lists | Refreshed periodically, not tick-by-tick |
| News | Collected continuously from publishers; minor delays are normal |
| Fundamentals / filings | Updated after publication at the source; 13F holdings lag up to 45 days after quarter end |
