Data your agent can see
The market picture available when your agent reviews a strategy or position. Reference it in plain language, and Engine maps your words to real data.
Your agent doesn't trade blind. Its shared market reviews read the relevant market picture for each market in its universe, then follow the playbook against it. Private position reviews also receive the current account and position facts needed to manage that user's trade. You can reference the available data below in plain English, and Engine maps your words to real fields before the agent can publish.
The tables below mark what applies to Perps, Spot, or both.
This is the catalog of what's built in. It's a high-level view, grouped by what it tells you, not by where it comes from.
Built in when relevant
| Category | What your agent sees | Perps | Spot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | The current price | ✓ | ✓ |
| Momentum & trend | RSI, MACD, moving averages (short to long), Bollinger bands, ATR, distance to recent highs and lows, and a read on trend and swing structure across 1h, 4h, and daily | ✓ | ✓ |
| Volume | Recent volume and whether it's surging versus normal | ✓ | ✓ |
| Volatility | Realized volatility over 4h and 24h | ✓ | ✓ |
| Liquidity & trade cost | How deep the market is and the estimated round-trip cost to trade (order book on perps, pool liquidity and a live quote on spot) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Funding | Funding rate now, its 4h trend, and how stretched it is versus the last 24h | ✓ | |
| Open interest | Level and how it's shifting over 1h and 4h | ✓ | |
| Buy & sell pressure | How buying stacks up against selling, and how many separate wallets are on each side | ✓ | |
| Holders | How many holders the token has and how much the top holders control | ✓ | |
| Token safety | Whether the token can actually be sold (honeypot checks), mint and freeze authority, and any buy or sell taxes | ✓ | |
| Token age | How long the token has been trading | ✓ | |
| Macro backdrop | VIX, the dollar (DXY) and its trend, 10-year yield, BTC dominance, and the gold/silver ratio | ✓ | ✓ |
| News & catalysts | Recent news volume, sentiment, and a flag for known macro events like FOMC and CPI | ✓ | ✓ |
| Your account | During per-user application and position management: balance, available funds, open positions, entry, unrealized PnL, exits, and venue-specific risk facts. Private account data is not shown to the shared market brain | ✓ | ✓ |
News and sentiment coverage is deepest for large, well-known tokens; a brand-new token may have little to no news, and your agent treats that absence honestly rather than inventing a read.
Extra context by asset class
Some data only makes sense for certain markets, so it's provided where it applies:
| Markets | Extra context |
|---|---|
| Crypto majors (perps) | Funding and open interest on other venues (Binance, Bybit, OKX), Hyperliquid's premium and share, liquidation flows, and options-implied volatility for BTC, ETH, and SOL |
| US equities (perps) | Market session (regular, pre, post, closed) and hours until earnings |
| Commodities (perps) | Hours until the next inventory release and positioning data |
| Spot tokens | For newer tokens, how much of the supply early snipers, insiders, and the deployer wallet hold, plus the token's website and social links |
Pulled on demand
Some things are heavier, so the agent fetches them only when your strategy calls for it, rather than every review:
- Order book snapshot, for a closer look at depth before a larger perp trade
- Recent candles, on any timeframe from 1m to 1d, for perps and spot tokens alike
- A live spot quote, showing the exact price and price impact for the size you're considering before a spot trade
- A news and catalyst check, before opening a high-conviction position
- A general web lookup, for qualitative or event context the market feed can't show: a token unlock schedule, the latest CPI print, a pending ETF or regulatory decision, an earnings date. The agent treats what it finds as soft context, never a hard trigger, and it's not a substitute for the live numbers above
- Its own trade journal, to learn from how similar setups played out before
Just describe when you want these in your strategy (for example, "check for upcoming catalysts before entering") and the agent will reach for them.
Bring your own data (advanced)
Need something we don't provide, like a proprietary signal or an external feed? You can wire in your own data sources and tools by building a strategy bundle. This is an advanced path and is documented separately in Building your own.
What isn't available
To set expectations: the agent can't read arbitrary metrics that aren't in this catalog unless you bring them in yourself. Do not rewrite a strategy around a merely similar timeframe or indicator unless that is genuinely the intended signal. Add the required data source, or change the strategy explicitly. The builder reports unavailable core inputs before publishing so an agent does not go live with a setup that can never fire.
