FAQ
Common questions
What is Altius AI?
Altius AI is a quantitative research platform that combines market data, backtesting, and AI assistance — so you can research US and global markets and validate investment ideas with verifiable reports.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Describe your idea in plain language and Altius AI will help you turn it into a backtested strategy. If you do code, the data.get API and Python integration are there for you.
What's the difference between Free and the AI plans?
The Free plan covers up to 50 backtests a month with core US data. The AI plans add unlimited backtests, the full 1,462+ field database, and AI strategy optimization. See the pricing cards above for the full comparison.
What US market data is available?
Prices, financials, fundamentals, analyst estimates, and factor data — 306 fields for US equities and 1,462 fields across global markets, with 10+ years of history. Use data.search() to find any field.
Can I trust the backtest results?
Backtests are generated from the same data and rules every time, so results are reproducible — but historical performance is research only and never a guarantee of future returns. Every report includes risk metrics like drawdown and win rate.
How do I start with Altius AI?
Copy the prompt in the section above, paste it to your AI assistant, and it will walk you through setup and your first backtest. The guides section also has step-by-step documentation.
Can I use it with Claude or Codex?
Yes — Altius Skill is designed for AI assistants. Point your assistant at the skill and it can fetch data, run backtests, and summarize results on your behalf.
How is this different from writing my own Python?
You get the same reproducible workflow — data, backtesting, and reports — without maintaining data pipelines or infrastructure. If you need low-level control, data.get works directly in your own Python environment.
Can I use it with zero investing or coding experience?
Yes. Start with the guides and the AI assistant — you can learn the concepts while running real backtests. The platform was designed to make quant research approachable.
Can I connect my broker for automated trading?
Not yet. Altius AI is a research platform — it produces signals and reports, but does not place trades. Broker connectivity is on the roadmap; follow the community for updates.
No coding. No cost. Just say the word.
