How to Research a Market With AI
To research a market with AI, you start with a clear question about what actually happens after a specific event, then let the AI measure it against real price history instead of guessing. First, pick one setup you're curious about, like an earnings gap up, the first hour of a session, or price tapping a support level. Turn that into a testable question: after this happens, what does price usually do over the next hour, day, or week? Ask the Agent to pull the real history and count the outcomes, so you get numbers like how often it went up, the average move, and the worst case. Read the results as context, not a promise. Then adjust the question, narrow the sample, and check it again until the pattern is clear, or clearly not there.
Researching a market with AI means asking a plain question about what usually happens after a setup, then letting the AI pull real price history to answer it with numbers. Here's how to do it, one step at a time.
Key points
- Start with a real question, not an opinion. Pick one setup and ask what usually happens right after it.
- Make it measurable: define the trigger, the time window you'll watch, and the outcome you want to count.
- Let the AI pull real price history and count the outcomes, like how often it went up, the average move, and the worst drawdown.
- Look at the whole picture, including the losing cases and how many examples you have, not just the good runs.
- Treat the numbers as context about odds and behavior, never a guarantee about your next trade.
- Refine and re-run: change one thing at a time until the pattern either holds up or falls apart.
Frequently asked questions
What does researching a market with AI actually mean?
It means turning a hunch into a question a computer can measure. Instead of arguing about whether a gap up tends to keep running, you ask the AI to pull real price history and count what happened after every gap like it. You get numbers, not opinions.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe the setup and the outcome you care about in plain words, and the AI handles the data work. You just need to be clear about the trigger, the time window, and what counts as a good or bad result.
How much price history should I look at?
Enough to have a real sample. A handful of examples can happen by luck, so aim for dozens or more when you can. If a pattern only shows up in five cases, treat it as interesting but unproven, and keep collecting data before you lean on it.
Can this tell me if my next trade will win?
No, and that's the honest answer. Research shows you what usually happened in the past, which is context about odds and behavior. It can't promise the next case will match. Markets change, and past results are not a forecast.
Where do I actually run this research?
You can do it inside the Agent. Ask AlgoAgent a plain question about a setup, and it pulls the real history, counts the outcomes, and shows the numbers so you can read the pattern yourself. Start with one clear question and build from there.
