AI Analyst — an assistant that can't make up the numbers
An interpretive AI that explains what the platform is showing — it reads one Market Intelligence report you import and rejects any answer with a number from outside it. Not a buy/sell signal. A teaching assistant that reads the system for you.
Why it exists
General-purpose AI can analyse a market — but only after you manually paste in data from a dozen sources: the options chain, institutional positioning, multi-timeframe structure, funding, order flow. That's 30 to 60 minutes of prep per question, and even then the model can invent price levels that don't exist, because it has nothing real to anchor to.
AI Analyst removes both problems. Pick a report — Futures for an asset and timeframe, or Options for an expiry — and import it. AI Analyst sends exactly that report's data to the model and writes the interpretation from it. And it cannot slip in outside numbers: the platform checks every number of the answer against the report and rejects an answer with a number from outside it.
What you get
One analysis, in sections
| Section | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Explain | Futures: what the engines read on the timeframe, engine by engine, with one key level and its distance from the price. Options: what the expiry's data show — net gamma, the price against the gamma flip and the 25-delta skew |
| Quality | How coherent the reading is: which engines carry the verdict, which vote against it or don't vote, and what weakens it |
| Insights | What follows from several facts of the report taken together |
| Worth noting | Observations against the main reading: a conflict between engines or timeframes, a stale CFTC report, an expiry without a reading |
| Strategy | Options only, when the expiry has a plan in the options engine's ranking: the strategy, its legs and when it gains or loses |
The difference from a generic chatbot is architectural. The model receives the data of the one report you imported — and a hard instruction never to use anything outside it. The gamma, flip and skew rows and the strategy name come from the report itself; the model writes the text around them.
See exactly what it read
The report the model read stays on screen next to the answer — the same Market Intelligence card, kept on the snapshot the answer was written from, so both sides show the same numbers. Under the answer, the report's engines whose reading the model received are listed with their verdict words. Nothing else is sent: no account details, watchlist or portfolio data.
What it doesn't do
By design, AI Analyst doesn't give buy or sell signals — it interprets, it doesn't advise. It describes the current reading rather than predicting the future, it doesn't recommend a position size, and the answer carries the note "Analytical readout · educational only · not investment advice". This is a deliberate, regulation-aware choice: it's an AI data-interpreter with safety guardrails, not an AI trade advisor.
AI Analyst sits on top of everything else. It reads the same Market Intelligence reports the rest of the platform runs on — the Futures report with its engines, the Options report with gamma, flip and skew — and turns them into plain language. It's the interpretive layer over the whole system, not a separate tool with its own opinions.
Common questions
How is FOCSAL AI Analyst different from using ChatGPT for trading?
A general chatbot needs you to paste data from many sources before it can analyse anything, and it can still invent price levels. AI Analyst reads one Market Intelligence report you import — Futures for a timeframe or Options for an expiry — sends exactly that report's data to the model, and rejects any answer with a number from outside the report.
Can the AI Analyst hallucinate numbers?
Every number is checked. The model receives only the imported report's data, and the platform checks each number of the answer against that data and rejects an answer with a number from outside it. The report card stays next to the answer, on the same snapshot, so you can compare the numbers yourself.
Does the AI Analyst give buy or sell signals?
No. It is an educational, analytical readout, not investment advice — it does not tell you to buy or sell or how large a position to take. For an options expiry with a plan, the Strategy section describes the plan the options engine ranked: its legs and when it gains or loses.
