04 — API · Ellipsys Gold Intelligence API

The gold research backend for serious traders, builders, and publishers.

A gold-market intelligence API that converts macro, positioning, microstructure, backtest, and research evidence into structured, auditable decision data — delivered through one programmable interface.

Same engine behind the Technical Analyst Market Report, the Market Codex, and the Quant Ledger. All four products draw from one GoldResearchPacket; the API lets you plug directly into the infrastructure instead of reading about it.

In developmentEarly access opens to members first. Public docs and keys follow as endpoints stabilize.

Decision infrastructure, not more data

The benefit is not blind signals. It is being saved from stitching together a dozen messy tools to answer one question with conviction.

From

  • Charts
  • Opinions
  • Scattered notes
  • Twelve messy tools

To

  • Structured evidence
  • Validated context
  • Reusable research data
  • Machine-readable conviction
  • What regime is gold in right now?
  • What evidence supports that view?
  • Which features changed?
  • Did a historical setup like this have edge?
  • What risk state is the market in?
  • Is this thesis validated, rejected, or still unproven?

Five intelligence surfaces

One interface, five commercial surfaces — each backed by a named engine.

01Composite

Gold State Vector API

Current gold regime, macro pressure, trend state, volatility state, positioning state, and liquidity/risk state — each with confidence labels.

02Parallax

Parallax Feature API

Market profile, TPO/auction structure, order-flow summaries, session structure, and feature frames — delivered as OpenBB/Jupyter-ready tables.

03Sentinel

Sentinel Evidence API

Backtest summaries, strategy validation, accepted/rejected thesis status, robustness checks, drawdown/risk metrics, and explicit “why this is not ready” flags.

04PRISM

PRISM Explanation API

Human-readable summaries: why a signal fired, what changed, what evidence matters, and what would invalidate the thesis.

05Ledger

Publication Packet API

Report-ready JSON for the Market Codex, Quant Ledger, dashboards, newsletters, and internal investment memos.

Built for

Research infrastructure for people who already feel the pain of fragmented research.

  • Independent macro & commodity traders
  • Gold and futures-focused prop traders
  • Newsletter & research publishers
  • Small funds and RIAs needing gold context
  • Quant researchers wanting clean feature/state data
  • Trading educators building evidence-backed dashboards
  • Builders making dashboards, bots, and research tools
  • OpenBB / Jupyter users wanting plug-and-play gold intelligence

Proof surface

Connect Ellipsys to OpenBB

Pipe the API into OpenBB or a Jupyter notebook and instantly render gold state, auction structure, Sentinel evidence, and publication packets — the workflow benefit is immediate.

What it is — and isn't

Lead with

  • Research intelligence
  • Evidence validation
  • Gold-specific feature data
  • Report automation
  • Dashboard integration
  • Model-ready context

Never

  • A buy/sell signal feed
  • An autotrading black box
  • A guaranteed-alpha product
  • A broker execution shortcut

  3. Send Authorization: Bearer <key> on every request.

The engine behind the API

See the stack that produces every packet.

Ellipsys is the research operating system — Parallax structures features, Sentinel validates evidence, PRISM scores before anything ships. The API is that engine, programmable. The site is where you see it run.
