Information

Fraywire aggregates market, economic, and company data from trusted third-party APIs (e.g., Tiingo, FRED, AlphaVantage) and refreshes on an hourly cadence. Stock prices displayed across the platform reflect the last official closing price. Intraday quotes are not provided within Fraywire; open the integrated TradingView chart for delayed intraday trading (~15 min).

Coverage & cadence

• Equities & ETFs: end-of-day OHLC, corporate actions (splits/dividends) on provider timetable.
• Economics: FRED series with per-series update frequencies (daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly).
• Earnings: schedules and reported results where available from vendor feeds.
• News: near-real-time ingestion; stories deduped and scored before display.

Data integrity

• Normalization: symbols are normalized to canonical tickers; corporate actions may retro-adjust history.
• Fallbacks: when a provider is rate-limited/unavailable, caches and alternates are used to preserve continuity.
• Time zones: timestamps are stored in UTC; UI displays in your local time where applicable.

Fraywire is a research and educational platform. We strive for accuracy, but errors, delays, and omissions may occur. Nothing here is investment advice. Always verify critical information with primary sources and a qualified adviser.

• No warranties: services are provided “as is” and “as available.”
• No fiduciary duty: Fraywire is not a broker, investment adviser, or fiduciary.
• AI limitations: Pulse AI can be wrong or incomplete; confirm before acting.
• Latency: vendor rate limits/outages may temporarily affect freshness.
• Fair use: automated scraping/bulk export may be blocked or throttled.
• Back-tests: illustrative only; past performance ≠ future results.

Echo Board surfaces what’s moving markets now by aggregating headlines, clustering topics, and scoring sentiment. It performs source de-duplication, keyword/NER extraction, and recency weighting.

How to use

• Filters: narrow by publisher, topic keyword, or detected ticker mentions.
• Context: open stories in a side panel; jump to TradingView for price context.
• Signals: sentiment bars show bull/bear tone; hover for word drivers and sample headlines.

Tips

• Look for consensus across sources—single-source spikes are often noise.
• Use timeframe toggles (last 4–48h) to see whether momentum is building or fading.

Track multiple portfolios (ledgers), add assets and trades, and monitor positions with cost basis and realized/unrealized P/L. Prices reflect the last close; use Pulse or TradingView for intraday analysis.

Key concepts

• Assets: unique per-ticker entries with tags and metadata.
• Trades: buys/sells update weighted average cost (WAC) and position size.
• Positions: show quantity, WAC, market value, and P/L since cost and since prior close.

Best practices

• Record splits/dividends for accurate cost basis when your broker statements settle them.
• Use tags (e.g., “swing”, “long-term”) to group and filter ledgers.

My Feed (on Glideslope.ai) gives you a tailored stream by source and topic.

Configuration

• Sources: include/ban specific publishers to tune signal quality.
• Topics: watchlists by keyword/ticker (e.g., “semiconductors”, “energy”, “AAPL”).
• Noise filters: reduce duplicates and low-salience items automatically.

Heavy aggregation can add a short delay while items are scored and deduped.

Explore composite indicators like the Economic Robustness Index (ERI), constructed from FRED series with explicit transforms (YoY/SA/Indexing), directionality (up_good / up_bad), and weights.

Reading the charts

• Levels vs change: use YoY/3m-ann. change to see inflections earlier than level charts.
• Lag structure: employment/inflation lag; leading orders/credit spread lead—compare groups.

Revisions

Macroeconomic series can be revised retroactively. Interpret recent prints cautiously.

Scan sector heatmaps, gainers/losers, breadth, and relative-strength style panels across multiple lookbacks (1D–1Y). Prices reflect the last close for consistency across modules.

Ideas

• Use rolling performance windows (e.g., 1M vs 3M) to spot rotation.
• Pair with news clusters to confirm if rotation is narrative-driven or purely flow-driven.

Pulse explains RSI/MACD/ATR, surfaces volatility and risk metrics, and summarizes news drivers using OpenAI GPT APIs. Treat outputs as a starting point—confirm with primary data and filings.

Prompts that work well

• “Break down TICKER’s RSI/MACD and the last week’s catalysts.”
• “Explain whether news sentiment divergence vs. price is typical for this sector.”
• “List risk scenarios for earnings next week and what to watch in the release.”

Privacy: Do not paste API keys, brokerage account numbers, or personal identifiers into chat.

Track upcoming macro releases, earnings, and corporate events. Some entries may shift as issuers update guidance or vendors reconcile feeds.

• Filters: macro vs. earnings vs. corporate actions.
• Timeframes: today/this week/next 30 days.
• Jump links: open event details and related charts with one click.

Browse calendars and reported results. Vendor feeds can revise dates/times; verify with the company’s IR page for critical decisions.

• Status chips: “Scheduled,” “Reported,” “Estimate window.”
• Context: last 4 quarters of revenue/EPS, surprise %, and post-print price reaction.

Why is a page slow?

• Large aggregates warming (Echo Board, sector scans). Give it a moment after hard refresh.
• Vendor rate limits—data falls back to caches; freshness may lag temporarily.

Why does a chart look “off” vs my broker?

• Fraywire uses last official close. Brokers may show extended hours or consolidated prints.
• Split/dividend adjustments can retro-change prior candles; clear cache and reload.

Can I see live intraday quotes?

Open the integrated TradingView panel for delayed intraday. Real-time consolidated feeds are not included.

How is sentiment calculated?

Keyword/NER extraction + category weights + recency/site reputation weighting; see Echo Board hovers for drivers.

• Last close: The prior session’s official closing price.
• WAC (Weighted Average Cost): Cost basis averaged by share quantity across purchases.
• YoY: Year-over-year change in a metric or index.
• Breadth: The proportion of components advancing vs declining.
• Up_good / Up_bad: Whether rising values are positive or negative for an index score.
