Dashboard

Organization or personal overview for the current month: quota progress and shortcuts into Datasets, Explore, and Jobs.

Datasets

Browse the research catalog. Coverage dates come from the live market-data manifest (not a static table). Open a dataset, then jump to Explore with that dataset selected. This list is compacted Athena only — normalized quotes/trades are not here; use the normalized API.

Explore

Interactive single-day query against the shared market-data lake:

  1. Choose dataset, instrument / ticker, and trade date.
  2. Optionally pick columns and a row limit (recommended).
  3. Run the query and review the result table.
  4. Download CSV, or export as an async data_export job. The export reuses your Explore limit when you set one.

Explore stays single-day. Use Jobs data_export for longer calendar ranges (default max 31 days).

If the org data plane is off, query returns 403 data_plane_disabled — ask a platform admin to enable it.

Jobs

Submit asynchronous work. On production, factor_batch and data_export call Athena unless the spec explicitly sets demo: true.

  • factor_batch — batch factor / target computation for a trade date and ticker list
  • data_export — parquet export of compacted Athena data; leaving limit empty pulls the full day and consumes more data-read quota
  • normalized_export — parquet export from the official normalized lake. Production currently keeps the compatible one-symbol/one-dataset path enabled while multi-symbol planning is staged. See Normalized quotes & trades.
  • strategy_validation — demo validation report until a strategy payload is supplied

Track status on the Jobs list and open a job for events, cancel / retry, and linked artifacts.

Job Compose (/app/jobs/compose) is a reserved console page for a later, fuller web authoring flow (typed forms, YAML, drafts). It does not replace the Jobs submit form. Until it ships, submit from Jobs or the SDK.

Artifacts

Tenant-isolated outputs from succeeded jobs (MinIO prefix per org). Preview reports where available, or download files through the API. data_export and normalized_export files are a short-lived cache (~48 hours, oldest dropped first if the platform cache is full).

Usage

Metered consumption for the current UTC month (data reads, compute, storage) and remaining plan quotas.

Settings

  • Switch organization (if you belong to more than one)
  • Invite members and set roles (Owner / Admin)
  • Create and revoke API keys for programmatic access (pk_live_…). How to use a key from an IDE machine is in Research environment.
