🦅 Executive Summary

Modern markets suffer from information overload but insight scarcity. Synapse-Finance solves this by simulating a complete hedge fund stack in software.

🔹 Key Capabilities

• Autonomous Execution A committee of 4 AI traders (Warren, George, Ray, Cathie) debate, decide, and execute trades independently using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

• Deep Financial Research A LangGraph-powered analyst uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to answer complex questions using verified internal PDFs — not hallucinations.

• Live Market Intelligence Integrated web scrapers analyze Finviz & MarketWatch sentiment to filter false signals in real time.

🏗️ System Architecture

Synapse uses a decoupled, event-driven architecture so the Trading Engine never blocks the Research Engine.

The Dual-Core Engine

Equinox-AI is built around a dual-core architecture that cleanly separates execution from research.

---

Core A: Trading Floor (Execution Layer)

A committee of autonomous trading agents, each operating with a distinct market philosophy and risk profile.

Agent	Model	Strategy	Risk Level
Warren	Claude-3-Opus	Value investing and fundamentals	Low
George	Gemini-Pro	Momentum and news reflexivity	High
Ray	Mistral-Large	Quant indicators (RSI, MACD)	Medium
Cathie	GPT-4	High-beta growth and innovation strategies	Very High

---

Core B: Intelligence Hub (Research Layer)

A research-focused intelligence engine responsible for financial analysis, advisory, and contextual reasoning.

Capabilities

• Intent routing (stock / fund / advisory)
• Live NAV and AUM scraping
• PDF-based RAG citations
• Sentiment-aware market analysis

Example Queries

• Compare HDFC Flexi Cap vs Parag Parikh
• What is our hedging strategy?
• Explain sentiment on Reliance
