Questions, answered
What the product is, how the data and speed work, how billing works, and how we handle your account.
What is Fed Reaction Engine?
A Fed-tracking workspace for traders. It diffs FOMC statements, shows the historical median market reaction for each language pattern, scores communication tone dovish-to-hawkish, tracks Fed-whisperer journalists, and gauges where the market is priced relative to the Fed’s projections.
Who is it for?
People who follow Fed communication closely — traders, analysts, and desks who want the statement record, tone, and historical reactions in one place instead of assembled by hand each meeting.
Is there a demo I can try without an account?
Yes — the interactive demo walks through each surface with sample data: the statement diff, a playbook, the divergence gauge, and the live tone meter. No account needed. Each feature section on the Features page links straight to its spot in the demo.
Try the demoIs there a mobile app?
Yes — the mobile app (iOS and Android) carries the feed, the live event screen, and push notifications. Alerts are the reason it exists: statement pushes and whisperer alerts reach your lock screen on the same latency targets as the web app.
Do you have an API? What about MCP?
Both, on the Institutional plan. The REST API exports tone scores, statement diffs, divergence readings, and playbook statistics as windowed, cursor-paginated JSON. The MCP server wraps the same API so assistants like Claude can query the record directly — same key, same rate limits. Every API and MCP response carries the compliance disclaimer in the payload.
See InstitutionalIs this investment advice?
No. Everything here is historical and analytical: estimated sensitivities and historical medians, presented for information only. It is not investment advice and past performance does not predict future results.
Where does the data come from?
Primary Fed sources — FOMC statements, projections, and press conferences — plus public reporting from tracked journalists. Raw documents are archived immutably, and every number is derived from that record. We never redistribute raw licensed market data; only derived and aggregated values. The statement archive reaches back to 1994, with full backfilled coverage from 2000 to the present; speech coverage runs from the mid-2000s.
What is tone scoring, exactly?
A dovish-to-hawkish reading of Fed language, shown on a meter. Every score records the method that produced it, and it is labelled as an estimated reading of the communication — not a prediction of what markets will do.
How fast are updates on event day?
On the free plan the statement diff is delayed and tone arrives as an end-of-event summary. Pro and Institutional get real-time diffs and a live, sentence-by-sentence tone meter during the press conference.
How fast are alerts on event day?
Statement push notifications land in under 30 seconds of release (p95), with the diff itself computed in under 5 seconds. Whisperer byline alerts arrive within 60 seconds of publication. During pressers, live tone scores update within about 3 seconds of the spoken word. These are instrumented targets we measure continuously, not aspirations.
What happens in the product on FOMC day?
The countdown runs down, the release-window poller tightens, and the diff against the prior statement is pre-staged. At release: the diff renders within seconds, material changes are badged, the push goes out, and each changed pattern links to its historical playbook. During the press conference, the tone meter scores sentence by sentence, calibrated to the speaker’s own baseline.
What plans are there, and is there a trial?
Free, Pro, and Institutional. Free needs only an account — no card — so you can see the historical record before paying. Pro unlocks real-time data and alerts; Institutional adds the API, MCP server, raw feed, and seats. Pro has a 7-day free trial (card required); annual billing gives you two months free.
See pricingHow does billing work?
The free plan needs no card — ever. Pro is $49/month or $490/year and Institutional is $499/month or $4,990/year; annual is two months free on either. Pro’s 7-day trial requires a card. Cancel from account settings anytime and keep access through the period you have paid for.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Paid plans are managed from your account settings and you can cancel whenever you like; you keep access through the end of the period you have paid for.
How are my portfolio positions handled?
Positions are encrypted at the column level, never written to logs, and included in the account-deletion path. Exposure mapping runs on your data to estimate rate-decision sensitivity — see the Security page for detail.
How is my data secured?
Portfolio positions get column-level encryption and are never written to logs — not even in error traces. Access is per-account with tier-gated endpoints, and the raw documents behind the analytics live in immutable storage. See the Security page for the full picture.
Security pageWhat happens if I delete my account?
Deletion removes your personal data and your encrypted positions as part of one deletion path — positions are not retained after the account goes. Historical Fed data is public record and unaffected; anything that is yours leaves with you.
Do you sell my data?
No. We do not sell your personal data or your positions. See the Privacy policy for how data is used and retained.
