Methodology, data and definitions

We show our work. Here is exactly where the numbers come from and how the analysis is built.

Market data

Quotes, historical series and reference data are pulled from institutional market data feeds and refreshed continuously through the session. Index, commodity, rate, FX and crypto prices all resolve to the same normalised quote model.

Correlation analytics

We compute Pearson correlations on daily log-style returns over rolling 3, 6 and 12-month windows against sector ETFs, commodities, rates and any second symbol you choose. Every result ships with a written rationale rather than a bare number.

AI research reports

Reports are generated against live fundamentals, price behaviour, correlations and recent news for that specific ticker, then cached so every subscriber reads the same analysis. The AI Research Assistant answers follow-ups using the same context.

What we will not do

We do not invent numbers, we do not sell signals as guarantees, and we do not hide drawdowns. Everything on Beacon is research and education — never a personal recommendation.

Drawdown
Peak-to-trough decline, the honest measure of pain in a strategy.
