The work of a research desk that never sleeps.

EquationDB is a market database and research engine. Ask any market question in plain English or one query language, and get the answer with the evidence, across 70,000 instruments on 70 exchanges, running 24x7.

It replaces the stack of price feeds, overnight batch jobs, notebooks, alerting tools and spreadsheets a desk normally needs, and keeps working after your team goes home.

What it is

A purpose-built market database for people and AI agents. Indicators are computed as data arrives, so a whole-market screen returns in milliseconds. Market events are stored with what followed, so studies use only what was known on the day. Every answer shows the exact statement that produced it.

Business value

Faster decisions. An event study, a "why did it move" or a scenario is one statement answered in seconds, not days.

Better-tested ideas. Beliefs graded on decades of history by one fixed rule; edges judged after costs.

Research that keeps itself honest. Every night it re-tests its beliefs and scores its own paper calls, misses included.

Wider coverage, one system. Global equities, funds, FX and crypto with fundamentals, transcripts and themes.

≈ $322k a year at $100/h ($200k fully loaded ÷ 2,000 h). Illustrative; substitute your own figures.

The 24x7 comparison. A minimal in-house desk to build and run this capability (2 data engineers + 2 quant analysts at an assumed $200k each, fully loaded) costs about $0.8M a year and covers a 40-hour week, 24% of the week's 168 hours. Matching it around the clock takes 4.2× the people: ≈ 17 FTE, ≈ $3.4M a year.

Excludes data licences, infrastructure, recruiting, management and turnover, all of which raise the in-house figure. EquationDB does not replace analysts' judgment; it removes the plumbing and the overnight grind.

Risk, security & governance

  • Customer data isolated per firm; credentials hashed; two-factor authentication.
  • Encrypted in transit; webhooks signed (HMAC-SHA256).
  • Read-only API keys enforced on every statement; one key per agent or system, revocable, with a log of every call.
  • Full audit trail of administrative actions.
  • Reproducible research: every answer carries its statement and its as-of time.
  • AI guardrails: a model interprets the question; a deterministic compiler writes the query; summaries quote only numbers from the results.
  • Hosted service, with dedicated and private deployments available.

Integration in three steps

  1. Sign in and create a key. Browser app, nothing to install; read-only keys available. Interface and AI analysis in 13 languages, Arabic included.
  2. Connect. REST API (query language or SQL), Python SDK, a command-line client, and an MCP server so AI assistants and agents query the database directly.
  3. Use the results. CSV or NDJSON exports for spreadsheets and pipelines, a live WebSocket event stream, alerts to the app, webhooks, Slack or Telegram, and shareable apps and dashboards.

No native spreadsheet add-in; spreadsheets connect via CSV export or the API.

Commercial terms

One plan, every feature. No tiers and no feature gates. Usage limits exist only to protect the service, are the same for every firm, and can be raised for yours (for example 20,000 rows per query, 2,000 requests per minute per firm).

Free trial of that same plan for your team. Pricing on request, per firm, against the cost of the work it replaces.

Proposed next step

  1. 30-minute demo on your own symbols, markets and questions.
  2. Free trial for the people who will use it, with success criteria agreed up front (questions answered, hours saved, coverage).
  3. Decision at the end of the trial, with a firm-specific quote.

A person reads every request and replies, usually within one business day.
