Global Financial Markets Available to Research

Covered Markets

The Socrates Platform offers a wide variety of global financial instruments and major economic data points to research from around the world. We call these "Covered Markets", which spans various asset classes, including:

• Bonds
• Stocks (and Stock Indices)
• Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF)
• Currencies and Foreign Exchanges
• Crypto (Bitcoin and Ethereum)
• Commodities (Agriculture, Energy Markets, Precious Metals and Industrial Metals)
• GDP, CPI and other key economic indicators from G7 and other major countries

We aim to provide a global viewpoint of economic and financial market cycles, patterns and trends.

Computer Models

After each day of trade the Socrates Platform's extensive database is updated with new data for our Covered Markets.

New market data is added to our historical dataset, then processed through our proprietary computer models, which analyze millions of data points in order to generate unique insights and indicators for users to research. This database includes a catalog of unique patterns, trends, and cycles the models have cataloged from previous years.

The more history a Covered Market has, the more data for the proprietary computer models to analyze, and the more data-driven insights the they can provide.

Covered Market Requirements

Each Covered Market available to research on the Socrates Platform must have at least a few years of trading data before we consider adding it to the system, but most have more than that (five or more years).

Many Covered Markets in the Socrates Platform have datasets that go back multiple decades, while some have over a hundred years worth of data. We prioritize markets that have traded on major exchanges with relative volume.

While each of our proprietary computer models are distinct, they all get smarter with more history. Some models will produce output on all time levels earlier than others, but eventually all will have enough data to produce Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly* and Yearly* output.
