Our Volatix Solutions
Your Gateway to Smarter Insights
Gain a clear visual overview of volatility outliers through our Relevance-Based Prediction system. The dashboard highlights IV-HV gaps and key market signals to support confident decision-making.
Our System Architecture
Our system integrates financial data sourced from NASDAQ and FRED, which is stored and managed in a high-performance ClickHouse database. From there, the data is fed into our custom-built volatility prediction models, designed to forecast market behavior with greater accuracy than traditional benchmarks like implied volatility.
The model-generated insights, along with raw market data, are delivered through a Streamlit-based dashboard. This interactive platform enables users to explore volatility trends, run comparisons against implied metrics, and evaluate prediction performance.
Ultimately, the dashboard equips equity research analysts with actionable insights, helping them refine their market outlook and provide more informed, data-driven advice to relationship managers and their clients.
