Using Socrates to Perform Technical Analysis
Effective technical analysis requires a data-driven approach with long-term market performance as observed with charting and analytical tools, which helps reveal insights into cycles and trends. The Socrates Platform delivers on all fronts.
What makes Socrates truly unique is our proprietary computer models, market coverage, and ability to provide unbiased data analysis.
Proprietary Computer Models
The Socrates Platform has been built on a foundation of proprietary computer models which have been developed over decades with rigorous research and refinement. Our unique financial models analyze millions of data points each day with machine learning algorithms that employ long-term cyclical and technical analysis methodologies to produce unique indicators and computer-generated content for users to research.
The Energy Model, for instance, is available to all Socrates members and helps observe the "energy" (or momentum) behind a market's price movement. By gauging the relative strength of bullish vs bearish price activity, the model can help you identify when a market may be in overbought or oversold conditions.
The Reversal System - exclusively available to Pro and Enterprise customers - is an advanced technical model that analyzes a market's price activity and indicates where pressure may be building up, which may help identify areas of technical support, resistance, and turning points.
Global Market Coverage
Socrates offers access to 1000+ financial instruments across stocks, bonds, forex, crypto, and commodities.
The markets available to research in Socrates ("Covered Markets") all have a minimum level of historical data for our models to analyze for patterns, trends and cycles.
Unbiased Data Analysis
The Socrates Platform removes human bias from market analysis by relying entirely on algorithm-driven insights. Our tools are designed to provide objective information on global economic and financial market activity so users can research with confidence, become more knowledgeable, develop their own interpretations, and make more informed decisions.

A Platform Designed for Hands-On Research
In a market crowded with financial analysis tools, Socrates sets itself apart by prioritizing long-term thinking and offering a global perspective across multiple asset classes. Unlike platforms that rely on short-term signals, fundamental analysis or prescriptive recommendations from human analysts, our focus is on empowering you, the user, to research what you want and how you want. To this end, we do not make financial recommendations and we are not a financial advisory or financial service.
If you’re the type of investor, analyst, or trader who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and diving into the data, then Socrates might be a great financial market research and technical analysis platform for you.
